Lest my comment regarding Savage be misinterpreted.  I'm smart enough to 
know that talk radio is all about "entertainment" and not about politics.

That being said, I've listened to Savage's show.  He is not entertaining
at all.  He is full of sulfur (a term I use for poison) and is very scary
to listen to (not to mention look at). Not to mention that a mad dog is 
probably more coherent than he is.

I don't think he's photogenic for television. The pictures I've seen of
him make him look like a perpetual drunk.

I will continue to give Savage the same treatment I gave Schlessinger.  I
don't watch his TV show, I don't buy his book and I don't listen to his
radio show.  I turn my back to him and his stupidity.

If he were a roach, I'd step on him.  But he will eventually go away when
people start seeing his true colors...like what happened with
Schlessinger even though somehow she's still on the air in some markets.

Look at what happened to Phil Donahue on MSNBC.  People didn't pay
attention to him and he eventually faded into oblivion.

The more people make noise and protest this guy, the more the average
listener and viewer will tune in to just "check out who the hell this
clown is."  That is how his ratings will go up.
