It was going well.. now it's all about maligning competitors. I do not recall anything like this in almost 70 years of listening -- and being old enough to understand.
He's talked about how Arthur Godfrey was a mean man.. I cannot say I remember hearing the show when he fired Julius Larosa on air but I do remember and liked Larosa before that.
I remember Godfrey's "Too Fat Polka (She's Too Fat For Me)". Stations eventually stopped playing it -- or at least stopped taking requests to play it for someone.
Are those things that made Godfrey mean? Or is Savage obsessed with past competitors? I like to hear his opinion of Joe Pyne -- someone that Savage "stole" stuff from.
Sorry -- for me it's just getting old to hear about his competitors, besides how does that help his well-deserved stellar image? ..and we have free speech recently confirmed here. :)
What point? ENOUGH ALREADY WITH BASHING CONSERVATIVE WOMEN IN POLITICS! (and I might add.. enough already! bashing conservative black men! Amos, Cain and Andy? Stepin' Fetchit Cain? The N-word is next?)
Take Imus.. please!
I am tired of hearing him malign the conservative women in politics. He does allow that Bachmann is not stupid -- that's Palin -- but Bachmann gets her facts wrong, says stupid things, and is just plain goofy. Says Imus.
Now he's attacking her for taking so long to accept the apology. She has no sense of humor.. Wallace was over her head.. he was being humorous, she didn't get it. She should have laughed. Says Imus.
Here's a "conservative" man who adored Anthony Weiner (long-time frequent guest on the show) but I've never, never heard Imus say one nice thing about any conservative woman in politics. Conservative women like his wife and some others in the business.. yes he can be nice to them.
I intend to tune back when election 2012 is over. I had to leave the old radio show of Bill O'Reilly for similar reasons during the 2004 election. The reason? BOR was in love with Democrat what's his name and BOR attacked the swift boat Viet Nam vets daily. (Democrat what's his name is a long-time frequent guest on the Imus show and Imus favorite.)
