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.

And Brown's politics?
"He's moved to the center, which is what this socialist state needs," Savage said.
"So that's about it. I'm sure you will spin this and make something out of it."
Brown campaign manager Ace Smith would say only, "Michael Savage is one of 5,000 contributors to the campaign."
As for the Poochigian campaign, chief adviser Ken Khachigian told us, "We have Bo Derek, they have Michael Savage -- so between us, we've got the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.''
Who needs to spin after that?
Dr Weiner is a demented blow hard
Oh man, what will the three guys on the Savage Daily Thread say now?
Let him pick whoever he wants. At least we shouldn't enforce groupthink on him.
If he wants to vote for the original illegal immigrant, in this case from a distant planet... let him.
Maybe now his fans here will finally see the moron for what he is --- a moron.
....ahem.
LOL!
Very interesting.
Savage has definitely jumped the shark with this donation?
Yep, he is a moron. It is too bad he had some really good rants against liberals.
Savage has used his intellectual "prowness" to reveal what he is: a liberal bufoon.
LOL... great one :)
Savage is Not conservative in the least. I'm thinking RAT shill to make the GOP look bad.
Does Gov Moonbeam support gun control????
Well, I actually think he's right that Jerry Brown has moved to the center, and I don't actually think he'll be all that horrible as AG, although I'd still vote for Paghoogian or whatever his name is if I wasn't still voting in Washington.
But for a wingnut like Savage who thinks virtually every member of Congress is a socialist, he's just proving what most of us already knew: He's either a liar, and idiot, or mentally unstable. Possibly all 3.
Never thought much of Savage. And I think less of him now. What a flake.
Maybe it's just me, but I would certainly check out the positions and qualifications of the Republican candidate before supporting the Democrat in any election.
The "I'm voting for the guy I heard of" rationalization is the talking point of the braindead "moderate" voter who has no interest in actually learning about the issues before the electorate.
Most of his fans here will still worship him because they are “morons” like him.
I will just say that Michael Savage is a human.
He is not a god emperor worthy of worship.
He makes mistakes sometimes.
But his "BORDERS, LANGUAGE, CULTURE" statement rings more true than "GLOBALISM, BILINGUALISM AND MULTICULTURALISM".
Simple.
.....unless anyone wants to repeat "Islam is a religion of peace" again, like President Bush cannot say often enough???
Bad enough? There's more --Savage totally KISSED HIS ASS!
I still remember when Savage was a hero to me 8 years ago--called up Tom Lantos, chewed him out, then SLAMMED THE PHONE DOWN ON HIM.
Savage *TURNS* on his friends.
BUYER BEWARE.
The Weiner Nation followers will not be happy. Me, I always thought that he was a moron.:)
ping
Some of his rants are dead on though.
Savage can support who he wants, however the only center Jerry Brown ever moved to was the middle lane of a three lane highway !!!
He should be labeled.... for entertainment purposes only.
Like any party gag.
SAVAGE!
I ALWAYS KNEW savage WAS A dim!
LLS
Michael Weiner is the 21st century equivalent of Morton Downey Jr.
But of course. No one's questioning his right to support Moonbeam, merely his judgement in doing so.
Maybe he is the great white hope (Is he white?) for Air America.
In private though, I can say from second hand experience that Dr. Weiner (Michael Savage), when you really get to know and understand him is a first class asshole.
bump
He butchers historical facts so badly... I can't listen to him.
As far out as he has gone, he STILL has Those!
Yup, and I have beachfront property in Colorado to sell.
Moonbeam, if he has 'moved to the center', is doing what all Dims do to win an election.
His track record speaks otherwise and speaks volumes.
Republicans have nothing to fear, except themselves.
He wasn't that horrible as Mayor of Oakland. In comparison to the rest of the Bay Area mayors, he looks like Jesse Helms.
Savage is nothing more than a "conservative" Michael Moore. Hopefully, this hasten the end of his career.
Actually in California conservative circles, the name "Jerry Brown" says it all ...
Mike Savage is the only person on the conservative side who can give Michael Moore a run for his money in that respect.
Savage is a TALK SHOW HOST. Period.
He is NOT the Bush RNC (Republican National Committee) which supported both Arlen Specter and then Lincoln Chaffee against REAL Republican primary opponents.
Savvy?
I have been telling you Savage fans what a commie-socialist he was, dispite his slick sloganeering faking you guys to believe otherwise.
We are talking about Savage, but I'm not surprised to see Savage fans like yourself take any opportunity to bash Bush.
Support of a part is support of the whole.
Yeah.
I guy that can talk.
How special.
I was hoping the same, but Savage seems to have powerful tin-foil-hat transmitters/recievers.
My only comment about Savage is that he is loud and unshakeable. When he's right, he is loud and unshakeably right. When he's wrong, he's loud and unshakeably (and sometimes shockingly) wrong.
