Michael Savage has the nerve to ask Hillary for help
I actually think the UK was wrong to ban Michael Savage from their shores no matter how whacked out he is.

Britain on Tuesday published its first list of people barred from entering the country for allegedly fostering extremism or hatred, including Muslim extremists, a right-wing American radio host, an Israeli settler and jailed Russian gang members.

The U.K.'s law and order chief, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, said she decided to publish the names of 16 of 22 people who have been banned by the government since October so others could better understand what sort of behavior Britain was not prepared to tolerate.

Popular American talk-radio host, Michael Savage, who broadcasts from San Francisco and has called the Muslim holy book, the Quran, a "book of hate," is on the list. Savage also has enraged parents of children with autism by saying in most cases it's "a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out."


It's their country, so you'd think a conservative like Savage would leave the choice up to them, because they are taking personal responsibility for their own welfare, right? Isn't that what he preaches? Anyway. I don't agree with them, but when he asks Hillary Clinton for help, well, that's insane.

Michael Savage, who has since expressed his outrage at the decision. "It is demented," Savage said. "I want my name off of that list and I want a letter of apology from this Jacqui Smith." Now it appears that Savage is seeking help from an old nemesis: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The San Fransisco Chronicle’s Rich Lieberman reports that "(l)awyers for Savage are formally asking (that) she call on the British Government to withdraw its ban." It’s interesting that Savage is now turning to Clinton for help, considering what he has had to say about her in the past. Some examples:

– "Hillary Clinton, the most Godless woman in the Senate."

– Regarding one of Clinton’s speeches: "That’s rubbish. That’s Hitler dialogue. Goebbels would be proud of you, Hillary Clinton. I know Mao Zedong would have been proud of you."

– "(Clinton has) destroyed the war effort against terror. And if, God forbid, a suitcase bomb goes off you’ll know who to blame."

– On Clinton’s run for the presidency: "(She would) stir up a race war, a civil war in the country to get that hag, that harridan elected."

Savage also once suggested that Clinton had something to do with the death of John F. Kennedy Jr. so she could run for U.S. Senate in New York.


The venom directed at Hillary from talkers like Savage is despicable, but I do find it ironic now that he's actually asking her to intervene on his behalf. How miserable does it make him feel that he has to seek out Hillary for help. Hahahahahahaha.

2. Hillary has to prioritize
I would suggest she put this request right after cleaning the lint out from under the refrigerator.

3. Bwah!
I think they should grant him permission to go--he just has to walk to get there. We can all wave goodbye until his hat floats.

4. I'm no fan of Savage
but the fact that someone has said mean things about her in the past is not a criterion that Hillary should apply in executing her duties as Secretary of State. I'm sure her instinct would be to tell him to take a hike but I would expect her to be professional and to treat this request the same as if it had come from any other citizen.

5. And that earned him Worst Person in the World from Keith tonight
Linky, linky: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp/30773407

If I ever had the misfortune to be in the same room as Michael Savage, I'd just have one question for him. That being, what is it like to be a rocket scientist?
