What I've heard is that there are a couple of Howard Stern wannbees called Mike and Don. Like Stern's fans, their fans think it's real clever to call other show on false pretenses and make lewd suggestions to the host while mentioning the show.

Tell me more about these Done and Mike.
Do you think it was one of them or their fan that called Mike?

Ironic that these plants were from the Howard Stern brigade. When I visited this country when I was living in Europe, I had heard ABOUT Howard Stern but had never heard him, so one morning in the car, I tuned him in.

Howard was SCREAMING about the sudden heart attack or lung problem or something that apparently a fellow talk show host was suffering from that day. The news was fresh and Howard was screaming that he hoped the man would die. I thought it was absolutely in bad taste and never listened again. I now know that he was ranting over Don Imus's illness.

I don't remember Howard getting fired for screaming that he hoped another person would DIE from his life-threatening illness.

I don't listen to Savage but I do think that one must be consistent. The above incident was even less provoked than it appears the Savage rant was.
