Strange bedfellows: It turns out that ultra-hot conservative talk show host Michael Savage is backing Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown for state attorney general. "What can I say? I think he'd make a great attorney general compared to the other guy. By the way, who is the other guy?'' Savage said, when asked why he chose Democrat Brown over conservative Republican Chuck Poochigian. Savage, whose rants can be heard locally on KNEW-AM, is backing up his hot talk with some hot money as well. Savage Productions, which lists Savage as president and his wife, Janet Weiner, as director, has donated $5,600 to Brown's campaign. "You have to make choices in an imperfect world,'' Savage said. "And this, this Machugian guy. (Like we said, it's Poochigian.) I never heard of him. I don't even know who he is." Poochigian has spent the past 12 years in Sacramento, first in the Assembly and now in the Senate. Doesn't impress the president of the Savage Nation. "Why bet on a horse that isn't going to win? Why throw your money into the garbage?'' So how did the best-selling author of "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder'' wind up backing a liberal once nicknamed "Governor Moonbeam"? "People change. He changed. He has experience,'' Savage said of Brown. "He started the Oakland military academy -- that was a good thing." And Brown's politics? "He's moved to the center, which is what this socialist state needs," Savage said.

What do you expect from a Party hack/butt kisser...
That's right. We have plenty of Jerry Brown name recognition here in California. No need for him to have a platform -- Moonbeam is his name, idiocy his game.
I will never vote for JB.
I've already resigned from listening to his rants:)
Dr. Phil would be a perfect example. He's oprah's bitch.
EXACTLY! With a HUGE ego to boot
"I know it's ahrd for country-club Republicans to accept, but we'd be far better off in a gold-based economy and with a gold standard."
Keep thinking that, so I can keep getting rich off of idiots like you.
stopped listening to savage about a year ago. got tired of listening to someone who thinks he's absolutely brilliant, way above the rest of us chickens out here.
Wow- I thought I was FR's biggest Savage hater... You went so far as to reference Savage in your tag-line, so you might be almost as big... LOL
He epitomizes every liberal stereotype (of conservatives)... He's the Howard Stern of political talk radio.
I will gladly concede this title to you, and note that I will not turn coat (like Weiner does daily) on you when we are in the trenches fighting the good fight.
LOL, thanks... What angers me the most about this guy is that he has a HUGE following... 8 million... and he constantly bashes other talk show hosts, Bush and the GOP, and he IS influential... He's a nutjob, shrill, scumbag SOB in my opinion.
"Dr. Savage is a character, invented by an actor, who is making a living off of this persona and laughing all the way to the bank."
I think that honor goes either to Randy Rhoades of Al Franken. However I will cede that Dr Weinie is the Howard Stern of Conservative ... though I don't think he is a conservative ... talk radio
He stopped all the freeway projects and raised taxes. We have never been able to recover - California will never be able to build out our road system, let alone even properly maintain the minimal one we have. Now that we have become a sort of Scandanavia within the US, but one that's overpopulated with low producers, we'll never be able to marshal the funding priorities to take care of the infrastructure. Too many suckers on the welfare teat to ever be able to do that. Moonbeam opened the door to Socialism and even the odd GOP governor has never been able to come close to shutting it.
Simply put, Savage flipped back towards being a Leftist about a year or so ago.
I wonder if he'll revert back to his (alleged) sodomite tendencies as well.
"I listen on the drive home, as long as I can handle. No more...he lost me. I rather listen to John and Ken...or to maggot-infested FM music."
Check out Hugh Hewitt sometime.
Your brain will thank you.
I have listened to Hugh...trouble is, KTIE plays Hugh in a weird manner, so I wind up listening to a little of Hugh then Savage comes on at 5PM...
