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.

In private though, I can say from second hand experience that Dr. Weiner (Michael Savage), when you really get to know and understand him is a first class asshole.

"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."

Actually, that is the most plausible explaination I have ever heard.

"In private though, I can say from second hand experience that Dr. Weiner (Michael Savage), when you really get to know and understand him is a first class asshole."

How would you like to be on his radio show staff? I'll bet they last about a week at best.

Since I have been routing for Savage's downfall, I get a huge chuckle when Savage pschofants call in and get treated rudely. Savage will hear the first question, then ignore them the entire rest of the call, even when the person asks him another question. He totally ignores them.

My tag line is a sarcastic response to Weiner's claim that he has "10 to 20 million listeners".

BINGO!

He always struck me as being an opportunist,... especially when he does that whole "chosen by G-d schtick"! It's equal parts funny and annoying.
