Get Off My Side Redux

Now that we’ve fully analyzed Ann Coulter’s bony body, I’d like to say a few things about another personality that I’d prefer to not have on my side, Michael Savage. I think he’s WAY hotter than Anne Coulter (just kidding, Michael…I ain’t one of them dirty sodomites!).

I rarely listen to Savage’s radio show, but I have been tuning in lately to hear his response to being given the hook by MSNBC. Savage is claiming that the phone call that sparked his TV show ending tirade was “a setup to destroy (him) in television orchestrated by unknown interests.” Oh, oh….it looks like someone forgot to take his anti-paranoia medication. Give me a fargin’ break. If someone really wanted Savage’s show pulled from the air, all they had to do was wait. He was bound to say something idiotic and offensive enough to get fired sometime. Throw in foaming at the mouth and spewing bile, you’ve got a complete listing of the man's talents.

In fact, rather than being a left-wing saboteur, it turns out that the caller was actually a fan of the show. All that this guy wanted to do was put in a plug for “Don and Mike”, his favorite radio show (no doubt chock full of fart jokes and prank phone calls). This revelation comes from a San Francisco Chronicle article that Savage actually links to on his web site, yet he’s sticking to the sabotage story. Apparently, the caller chose Savage because he knew he’d get a reaction, and boy was he right. Savage reacts to most callers with an intensity that’s just a notch below a grand mal seizure.

Savage also claims to be a victim in this matter. Excuse me, Michael, but who was there with you that night forcing you to wish the caller dead from AIDS? Do you really have such little self control that a harmless crank caller causes you to involuntarily break into a vitriolic rant?

He also claims that he wasn’t aware that his comments were actually on-air. Why he would assume this while talking to a caller on live TV is beyond me.

It appears to me that Savage is looking for someone to blame for his stupidity…anyone but himself. The caller is responsible, or the sound technician….no, wait, the left wing jackals have teamed up to destroy the man’s television career.

Savage claims to be a conservative yet he is failing to adhere to one of its principles, that individuals must take personal responsibility for themselves and their actions. Rather than fessing up to his stupidity and bowing out gracefully, he gets on his radio show and tells the “pig” that called him that “this isn’t over yet” as if he’s going to hunt this guy down and exact his pound of flesh.

Grow up and get over yourself, Michael. And get off my side.
