Staying focused is a tall order for Weiner and his followers...

Strange bedfellows: It turns out that ultra-hot conservative talk show host Michael Savage is backing Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown for state attorney general. "What can I say? I think he'd make a great attorney general compared to the other guy. By the way, who is the other guy?'' Savage said, when asked why he chose Democrat Brown over conservative Republican Chuck Poochigian. Savage, whose rants can be heard locally on KNEW-AM, is backing up his hot talk with some hot money as well. Savage Productions, which lists Savage as president and his wife, Janet Weiner, as director, has donated $5,600 to Brown's campaign. "You have to make choices in an imperfect world,'' Savage said. "And this, this Machugian guy. (Like we said, it's Poochigian.) I never heard of him. I don't even know who he is." Poochigian has spent the past 12 years in Sacramento, first in the Assembly and now in the Senate. Doesn't impress the president of the Savage Nation. "Why bet on a horse that isn't going to win? Why throw your money into the garbage?'' So how did the best-selling author of "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder'' wind up backing a liberal once nicknamed "Governor Moonbeam"? "People change. He changed. He has experience,'' Savage said of Brown. "He started the Oakland military academy -- that was a good thing." And Brown's politics? "He's moved to the center, which is what this socialist state needs," Savage said.

Excellent response.
Moonbeam is a HARD CORE LEFTY. His supposed moving to the center is a transparent calculation. At least, it should transparent to any political junkie here on FR!!
Ciphered: "Screw you Republicans for you don't deem me important enough to come on my show when asked". ; )
That's typical Savage schtick. He always says he never heard of someone that he doesn't like.
Savage is just lucky that "Machuga" isn't some racial slur in Africa.

Had people telling me for a while to check him out. Last year, while driving down to visit relatives, I stumbled on his show. First 15 minutes was going good, then he went to commercial. When he came back, he started off on a 10 minute long screamfest/tirade against President Bush that had no merit whatsoever. Just a prolonged personal attack. Changed the station and never went back.
I agree with you. He's a asshole
That is the funniest thing I've read all day. I am going to print that one up and put it on my office wall. Well done.
That episode was probably the only time I ever agreed with Chuck the Schmuck (whatever his real motives). Chuck was blasting the deal with Dubai over the ports.
I have always felt that Savage was playing conservatives. This does not prove that necessarily, but Jerry Brown support is just one more piece of evidence.
LOL - he's supporting Jerry Brown? Will people still defend this guy as a conservative?
Aye - and that you have Savage himself doing the promos for it. Almost forgot about that.
I would like to think that Toomey could rally to victory in the general, but the practical result would have been a more liberal senate by giving the nomination to Toomey. W knew this. This is why they have supported a lot of people whom we don't care for too much but are reliable votes for giving leadership, control, and chairmanships to people we love.

He is often very entertaining. At times when I am furious at the RINOs, there is Savage screaming. He often has been very good in supporting the good guys, but sometimes (many?) is fooled, such as by Schumer and Rangel recently. He doesn't though assume the US military is guilty, as our State Dept does. I take him, as with all talkers, with a grain of salt.
Savage is a Crazy nut that doesn't know much about current events or politics.....he's just a ranter.
It was 4, until bisque got booted. LOL!
If so, for what? I know that he/she/whatever leveled some nasty stuff at me, but I thought it was typical Savage spew, nothing serious.
Yep, got booted a couple of days ago... Not sure if it was temp or permanent though.
It has to be hard being a Freeper AND a Savage fan. That must account for the weazle-like response/non-response when they are confronted with Weiner's own words.
Savage strikes me as being like the libs in that he allows his emotions to override reality and reason.
He dislikes Bush because Bush isn't an emperor and has to operate within the realm of political reality; He dislikes Limbaugh because Rush has a big audience; he dislikes all other talk show hosts because they don't kiss up to him, and so on.
I agree with a lot of Savage's positions, but his supporting a liberal is one more proof he can't be taken seriously.
