Petty, so petty, and this time I don’t mean Tom Petty.
This reminds me of a time a year or so ago when Greg Gutfeld had come out with a book around the same time as one of Savages. The books were reviewed together, mostly favorably in some (I think mainstream) publication. Naturally Savage wanted to read it, but he would t mention Guttfelds name or the name of his book. It seemed to me that most hosts would have gone ahead and mentioned it.
Now Ive finally read the Politico piece. Savage is claiming the old Allen Ginsberg stories are lies. I don’t think that this is a good way to play this, because I think the stories are true. Are they old? Yes, very old. Do people change? Yes, of course. Are the news sources leftleaning ones generally disliked by conservatives? Yes, but it’s still out there. The way I would play it is “Yes, OK, it’s out there, I’m a different person now. We all did stupid stuff in our youth. What else you got, Sean?” (Maybe not that last part.)
Now I listen to as much of the first two hours as I can take of his self-pity and his feelings of rancor against conservative competitors.
To him, as he has stated, it's just competition. That's all.
For the first time today I stayed for the full two hours -- never made more than 30 minutes before today -- but I almost bailed when he whined about conservatives coming to the aid of D'Souza -- as they should he allowed -- but none support him when he is regularly ruthlessly attacked; in typical Savage style he botched D'Souza's name as mishmash.
