I don't have any problem with Savage being fired, but I don't understand why
they hired him.  He made his name with this kind of thing and now MSNBC is
upset when he does what he does.  Maybe this was over the line, but you hire
a guy like Savage because he dances along the line.  When you hire him, you
have to figure that he is going to go out of bounds once in awhile.  If you
are not prepared for that, why put him on the air in the first place?
