Savage has a habit of putting down other talkshow hosts so it’s really no surprise that no one came to his defense, although wait there were a couple IIRC Jerry Doyle and Billy Cunningham and I think Laura Ingraham defended him. As for Fluke and Rush, he walked into that, it was his own damn fault IMO.

I just watched Christy’s speech-didn’t mention Obama by name once-wtf is up with that? were the other speakers that lame to be scared to say his name?

I sure hope ryan isn’t that much of a chicken

Romney-I wish his smile wasn’t so the way it is!

Rush fluked up. Same as Akins in Missouri. Rush was right but put it badly, by calling her a slut.

Some of those hosts are also syndicated like Savage on TRN, so coming to his defense is akin to that last caller telling Savage to stop beating up other family members.

If Savage wants to switch to positive he can talk about Berns Steak House in Tampa. It's known worldwide and has a cellar with 10,000 wines with at least 1 to Savage's liking.

RE: IIRC Jerry Doyle and Billy Cunningham and I think Laura Ingraham defended him.

(In case anyone is interest.. otherwise scroll or remember: no cussing just contumely.) :)

I recall Ms Ingraham saying nice things about Savage when Savage refused to even mention her name, instead calling her that "trans-genger with a cross." But I believe that they are on very good terms now.

The "You are a great American" was picked up from Cunningham by Hannity and is oft-heard on his show. Levin may say it from time-to-time.

Cunningham has declared that he is a fan of Savage.. but a few years ago Cunningham misinterpreted one of Savage's rants as being against him (Cunningham).

That was the time the caller told Savage that he (Savage) was a great American. Savage exploded. He screamed at the caller to never, never call his show again and then started in on Hannity and Levin without mentioning names. Savage went on to question Levin's ability as a lawyer.. again without mentioning names.

Cunningham (an attorney) thought Savage was maligning him. Cunningham played Savage's screaming rant in lieu of the regularly opening music (for a couple Sundays I believe). Cunningham could not understand why Savage would say such things about him.

I did hear Levin defend Savage vis-a-vis England. A caller surprised Levin with a question about it. Levin did not react in any fashion. He explained that the banning was wrong. He continued the conversation normally and after the call he did say something about a wiener.
