Savage is a little more then I can take most of the time. His rants are comparable to Al Franken as far as I am concerned. People shut down and stop listening when your voice gets shrill and you start with the name calling. If you can't make a point and back it up with facts (like Rush) without calling people names, then I am going to listen to you about as intently as I do a 3 year old.
I listen to Savage as a change of pace, a bit of unpredictability....his downside?
Think he 'disses callers when he doesn't need to. Appears to get torqued off when a caller simply starts off "Hi Dr Savage, how are you" or "how's it going...."
Its a simple greeting, and Savage will never answer...claims "I don't know you", etc.....
Strange way to treat someone before he knows their position...if they person turns out to be a liberal dork, then let him have it.
Almost makes me think he hates what he is doing...not a good draw for a larger audience.
