Tood bad it's not a nightly show, I wonder how much MSNBC will allow him to say..

I wonder if the MSNBC execs have even heard his radio show, or if they're so despirate for ratings, they'll put just about anyone on. I like him, and I consider myself quite conservative, but some of the things he says are pretty over the top, imo.

I'll give him about 1-3 months. MSNBC should really wake up and realize that people who lean far left OR right aren't going to get too many ratings for them. First Keyes, then Phil, now Savage......it's like a frickin see-saw in their programming department!

His rants are out there hilarious and sometimes a bit extreme, just like before Rush started playing golf and mellowing out.

He will be a huge headache for the network. He'll get very good ratings, but also cause a lot of complaints when he makes some of his wilder comments.

The reason you mention are exactly the ones why Mike will survive. The others are in the middle, and, hence, no strong convictions. Mike goes to the extreme because of his strong conservative convictions. Viewers, deep in their hearts, have no desire for wishy-washy hosts. They want to hear people who say what they mean and mean what they say. Mike Savage is such a man.
