When a lib calls, rather than blast them and hang up, as Savage does, Rush articulates the issues like no one else.
I consider myself VERY politically savvy, yet I still learn something new from Rush almost every day... NO one else has that ability on me.
Laura Ingram is more of a GOP water carrier than Rush or Hannity.
Of course, many here think 'GOP' and 'conservative' are synonyms.
Did You hear him equate GWB going to the opening of the
Clinton Library to Ronald Reagan visiting Bittberg?
Savage(though successful)is just PISSED OFF because he will never get NEAR El Rushbo's level!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Savage has so few moments of lucidity, he should serious consider taking some lithium.
Too RIGHT!!!!!!!!!
That's a pretty good list! Thanks.
I'm amazed Savage has any following at all. He's a complete and utter narcissist, and a moron to boot.
The last time I saw him was on MSNBC. He was trying to be funny, joking about his last airplane flight, and sat between two maniquins acting like he was being squeezed in, etc. It was slightly amusing for about 3 seconds, but he kept it going for what seemed like hours. The only break from this monotony was to hear him pitch his book for the 10,000,000th time. Any remaining notion (already highly strained) that this guy had even a smidgeon of entertainment talent evaporated for me that day.
And hey, I'm against gay marriage and even against civil unions, but MSNBC -was- right to throw him off the air for his comments to that caller. I don't care if the caller was a freaking Nazi, you don't tell your callers that you "hope they die", no matter what the provocation. What an unprofessional self-obsessed twit.

Turn off the radio, friend. Get some fresh air.
Savage is a petulant child. His ravings are akin to a kid throwing a hissy in the middle of a grocery store. The fact he occasionally hits on a correct point does not excuse the fact he's certifiable.
"No one, I mean no one can remain perpetually angry all the time without blowing a gasket."
True. I think the point many are making, however, is that the gasket has indeed blown ;) Many times over.

Whatever...without Limbaugh and Hannity, we'd be preparing fer a Kerry presidency come January...MUD
< shudder >
I used to listen to Savage when he was only on the Bay Area station KSFO. He is such an interesting character - sometimes thoughtful, funny, sometimes truly over the top. When he syndicated he became more self-promoting, less thoughtful. Anymore his show just seems to be one long free association rant - and heaven help the listener who may be driving a vehicle if Savage goes off on food, you may fall asleep at the wheel.
He's been recently replaced on the OKC station I listen to with Bill Cunningham. Cunningham is a little irritating, boring though. Maybe I'll get used to him. But Bill - could you lay off vaccinations and alternative medicine stuff?????
I listen to Rush every day. I have never heard of the other guy! Have I missed anything?
I like Doc Savage & all of them but agree that RUSH is pure republican. I want people talking about the border. I want to hear justification for GW to go to Bubba's Library Opening. I not convinced that Condi should head State, etc. I get that from a nonpartisan - True conservative such as Savage. The battle for this nation is either we become France or back to our pure capitalism & schmoozing with the enemy shows acceptance, which the libs do NOT do.
Dennis Prager!!!
Dennis Prager is the man.
FReegards...MUD
Laura Ingram is my currect favrite talk host, she is sharp and she does her own thinking. I am certain the dark forces at the GOP collective are planning her asimlination. I hope she is wise enough NOT to spend the night at the white house. That was Rush's big mistake, one night at the white house was all it took, Rush had never the same.
