I won't hold you accountable for Savage.

I doubt it'll get much worse than this (but I won't completely rule it out), though only because people will be worried about being a liability for their party on an election year.

yes, Savage can be ugly

So can a lot of the other radio talking heads. Unfortunately, I think Joseph is optimistic, having Kennedy's tumor blamed on liberalism. I expect someone to say it's God's way of punishing him. As a Christian conservative, this kind of talk embarrasses me.

Savage = Classless Oaf

It was sure to happen, but you still have to call them out on it.

No Surprise

This isn't surprising. I fully expected someone to come and claim, jokingly, that his brain tumor must have been the cause of his extreme liberalism.

Michael Savage Plays "Dead Kennedys" In Tribute To Ted

Yesterday conservative radio host Michael Savage decided to join the bi-partisan tribute to Senator Ted Kennedy after news of his brain tumor broke. It doesn't really make it any more believable, but I'll let Savage's own words reveal how he did it...

"The poor guy's been suffering for years, you know? Unfairly he's been accused of alcoholism, but we see now that it was something much more deep-seated. And so, to cut this out in some respect for Ted Kennedy, here's a tune coming at you from the Dead Kennedys. Go ahead and play it, please."

That's an interesting choice, California punk band the Dead Kennedys. Savage claims he wasn't mocking Kennedy though, he just thought it "was appropriate".

Media Matters has the full audio of the above remarks and even more of Savage's disrespect.
