I made the mistake of listening to Savage again last night, and he AGAIN blasted Rush Limbaugh, calling his show really boring, calling him a fat loudmouth, "Mr. Gulfstream", saying no one wanted to hear Limbaugh talk about the election anymore...
He said a few more things, but the exact verbiage escapes me.
He also said numerous times that he will not discuss politics anymore, then quickly goes into it. He also took yet another series of swipes at President Bush and Arnold S.
He claims that Arnold has a big ego, is a disgrace, and has done NOTHING for California. He also says that his approval rating is disastrous, not nearly as high as the polls.
This guy, Michael Weiner, er Savage, is the disgrace. He's a bi-polar nut-job, who has the biggest ego this side of O'Reilly.
What a jackass.
I love Savage he gets you pissed off. He isnt afraid to be PC and not say anything that will "offend" people like the rest of the republican talk show host. He also wont carry the water for the republican party nor does he care about getting invited to there 20,000 meals.
I think the younger generations like him because he's more conservative.
Raw truth is never boring.....Savage Rules!
oh my, that picture dates me;
I can still see those green snakes going across the screen in my youth...
"No one else in the talk shows is doing anything in regards to Specter."
Savage brings this up all the time.
Character assassination is a tactic used by those who cannot refute the substance of the opponent's argument.
I've seen very little direct criticism of Savage's commentary, just rantings about him being bi-polar or wrong about facts.
How about some specific examples?
Well, there ya go. Savage is an idiot.
Or the Doc Savage TV show?
Yeah when will Rush talk about Bush going to the opening of Bill's Libary... YOU WONT!. Of course Savage did and so far during Bush new term he dosent look like he will get more conservative if anything were getting hints he will become more left. You wont here that from the water carrying Limbaugh. Who was the guy that endorsed the true conservative Tom McClintock not Limbaugh.. Savage. Savage is a true conservative the rest of the host carry water for the Republicans.
I read this and tried not to laugh; I really did. I will never understand why some Freep sheep bow at the altar of Sean Hannity. He is the USA Today of talk radio.
They would end Savage not doubt about it they hate his guts! In Portland someone wrote an editorial wanting are station to take him off. They hate his guts.
Laura Ingraham consistently mops the floor with all of them, and she's funnier to boot.
There was a time when Rush was incredibly funny, and incisive. That time has long since passed.
To become relevant again, Rush needs to push those ideals that conservatives have long posited as their values. Smaller govt, fiscal conservatism and the devolution of power to the grass roots.
Republicans are exactly like the Democrats in one critical aspect, they crave power, and once in possession of it, they strive to maintain it at any cost. I remember Rush saying in the 2000 election cycle, that if the Republicans had control of both houses, and the Presidency, and still did not begin the job of trimming the Federal Government, he would THEN support an alternative. WELL RUSH, when is it time?
Your radio has no "on-off" switch?
Savage still makes me laugh though. Last night, a caller was complimentary to Savage, and Savage thanked him and rather cut the call short. He was depressed.
But then he starts going on about how he, yes HE, knew what his audience wanted. (And I'm thinking, "O.K. he's going to start bloviating, it's time to change the channel.") He says "I KNOW what will engage the listener to THINK as you're driving home in your car........or sitting in a prison cell."
I was busting up. He was too depressed to even launch into his chest-beating tirade.
I've listened to him since he was local to SF, though not so much lately. I still enjoy him on occaisionally, but I know he's going to end up in a padded cell some day.
Laura is another one I just LOVE listening to. Michael would be very "dangerous" in the MSM to be sure.
Good question. No contest... I truly believe the left actually LOVES having Savage around... He blasts the GOP almost as much as the Dems, and he epitomizes/validates everything the left says about conservatives- that we're mean, self-centered, intolerant, and way radical...
