He asked for another phone caller who "didn't have a nice night in the bathhouse who's angry at me today."This had me roaring..

"You should only get AIDS and die, you pig. How's that? " Sounds like Savage has a few personal issues to deal with.
To: sakic
Suprised he lasted that long.
To: sakic
This will only help him. He is now a pariah again.

I have only listened to Savage for about the past two months and only off and on. He struck me as unbelievably shallow and just a mean guy who often would never allow a caller to flesh out their opinion before slapping them down with non sequiturs and verbal abuse. He was the anti Rush.

More than a few issues. Makes me wonder whether he self-destructed subconsciously on purpose.
Always seemed like a self-promoting ahole to me. Every other sentence was devoted to hawking his book.

Well clearly Savage is into saying what's on his mind. Mike should not feel too bad. MSNBC is a loser network with garbage ratings.

MSNBC on Monday fired Michael Savage for anti-gay comments.
I consider the title misleading. Those weren't anti-gay comments. They were ruthless, irresponsible comments that he should not have made & I don't feel sorry for him for getting fired.
An anti-gay comment would something to the effect that "homosexual behavior is wrong". I'll stand by anyone's right to make that comment.
To: jacket
aww, someone poor little ears got offended.Those ears belong to the folks that pay him quite a few dollars. Savage ain't the brightest bulb.

Savage says this all the time on his radio show...MSNBC didn't think he'd say on TV?

Yep. I saw his show once and that was it for me.
To: sakic
I noticed Imus has started playing nice with MSNBC. He denied being pressured to do so, but his sudden praise is 180 degrees from what he was saying a few months ago.
To: sakic
It appears to me that Michael Savage is losing his mind. His politics are all over the place and his rants verge on psychotic.
He's become someone that when I hear him described as conservative I cringe. He underscores the stereotype that we're bigots. His manner of delivering his message undermines his credibility.
