"Not that anybody really likes Savage... he seems to go out of his way to make himself unloveable."

I haven't listened to him in more than a year, since KVI in Seattle dumped him (or he dumped them, I forget which). Occasionally one of his rants would be funny, and he'd occasionally come up with a good name for somebody (Larry King = "Larry Seltzer"), but more often than not he was just annoying and over the top.

Yeah, occasionally his names for people are good, but they're too often sophmoric. Sean Vannity is pretty good though. I have to admit though, Hannity and Limbaugh have both become pretty tame, O'Reilly too... they'll spike stories they think are too hot, like they wouldn't touch able danger or the expulsion of the Jews last week. Hannity has become Greta Lite which is pretty pathetic. Rush is still quick witted and insightful, but not very daring, IMO. So that leaves Savage. He is putting up big numbers, and he is the talk show host that the competition dares not speak his name. I think he attacks them just trying to call them out. People are wanting that. People are attracted to that. People are feeling very edgy and they want talk that's on the edge, not "fair and balanced". Tony Snow is pretty good too, in a genial way, he too tells it like it is, but has more fun doing it. A "happy warrior". I like those. Glenn Beck screws around too much. Laura Ingraham is good, but maybe a little too flippant... I don't know... she's good. She is good. Maybe she is too laid back I don't know, she doesn't get me riled up the way some of the other ones do.
