You are so right. I wonder why there was no outrage from the media over Baldwin's comments which were clearly worse by far than Savages? I must admit, Michael is a bit much for me, but MSNBC should have known he would do and say things like that.

I can't take Savage. But he should have got a strong warning not a pink slip, IMHO.

I think Baldwin was referring to Henry Hyde.

"We should go to Washington and stone Henry Hyde to death,"Baldwin was quoted as saying. "And then we should go to his house and kill his family."

Either way, Hyde or Newt, I think little alec did himself a disservice. The last 'great' thing he did, for the children, no doubt, was Thomas and the Magic Railroad.

Because Baldwin is an ignorant actor who is expected to say dumb things. Savage is supposed to be a professional.

If he were on RadioFR, I'd probably can him too. Regardless of what you think about homosexuals, wishing aids on them is like wishing sickle cell on a black American, breast cancer on a woman or a concentration camp on a Jew. It hits home, it hits hard and it is nasty.

Because if you saw the show it was obvious that Baldwin's comments were part of a prescripted bit where Baldwin's craziness was meant to be laughed at.
