As far as I’m concerned, Savage is an embarrassment to conservatism. This kind of cruel and uncaring commentary is the kind of stuff I expect from the juveniles at DU.

I happened over to HuffPo yesterday and read about two pages of comments to the announcement of Glenn’s diagnosis. To my shock (and pleasure) the vast majority of posters expressed sympathy and well wishes, and chided the few who made comments a la Savage.

Something is wrong with Savage. I dont listen to him, ever.

I remember once he was saying Bush should be impeached, arrested, and dragged away in chains, and no more than two weeks later I catch him saying Bush is one of the greatest Presidents ever. That left me scratching my head.

I've long thought that this is Savage's real job. He's crazy like a fox, portraying the conservative positions in such an insane way that he absolutely polarizes politics and drives any liberals who are starting to think for themselves back into the Leftist fold. That he does this out of the SF Bay Area makes perfect sense.

But how can you say such mean things about the originator of "Compassionate Conservatism," "Borders, Language, Culture" and the world's leading authority on epidemiology???

Personally, I gave up on Mikey "One-Note" shortly before his head swelled due to national exposure. When he was a lone wolf on KGO (normally lefty SF station) back in the 90s, he was a breath of fresh air. Then he read his press clippings and that was that.
