Michael Savage's long, strange trip [ Rants ]
Since I've been carpooling with my ultra-conservative boss for the past week or so, I've had the pleasure of listening to podcasts of Michael Savage, talk radio host extraordinaire. There's, um, lots to say about Mr Savage, but this Salon article from 2003 seems most interesting:
I mean, the guy's entertaining in an angry-loud-drunk-sitting-at-the-end-of-the-bar way, but I can't imagine taking him seriously. Over the course of about 3 or 4 shows, I've heard him espouse protective tariffs for Ford and GM; launching pre-emptive attacks on "Islamo-Facists" and their countries before they strike against the United States and destroy our civilization; and rounding up all illegal immigrants to deport them south of the border. And that's not even getting into what he has to say about CNN, Fox News, the Bush administration or Nancy Pelosi.
He seems to be successful at selling the "I don't like anybody very much" persona.
