Maybe when you do sit through the show... you'll hear what he's trying to say.

I can hear what he's trying to say, and even agree with it, and still consider the show to be awful.

Instead of dismissing him as a blowhard.

I'm not "dismissing him as a blowhard." I'm saying that I think his show's awful, whether I agree with him or not. Even when I agree with him (which is, frankly, more often than not) he's neither entertaining nor particularly enlightening. Rush is a blowhard, but I find his show to be usually both of those things. Savage is a blowhard, and I find neither.

Well, he doesn't have the pipes for radio that's for sure. ANd thank God he doesn't have a TV show cause he's got a face made for radio. He must have really turned the rhetoric up lately. I haven't listened to him in a couple months. Been listening more to Michael Reagan. I'll have to tune in tomorrow nite and see what's up.

IME, Savage is one of those things that grow on some people over time. Some people simply don't like his style, and you may be in that category. But some people I know who have objected mightily to him at first have eventually come to really dig his show. He has warts, no doubt. But that, IMO, is part of his appeal. He's very human, he's very alive, he's very flawed, but IMO, those are positives.
