Everyone remembers Louie DePalma from the TV series Taxi. Although no fool, Louie is the mean, lecherous, sexist, selfish, and crude little man who uses his position in the Sunshine Cab Company to intimidate, badger, and punish the smarter and better looking in the cast. One cannot but marvel at how this character parallels the radio character Michael Savage played by Michael Weiner. The only discernable difference is that Danny Devito was better looking and wasn’t serious.
