Michael Savage Tees Off On Limbaugh

All is not well in the world of talk radio today, as an internecine spat is being brewed up by right-wing host Michael Savage, who today spent a portion of his airtime criticizing fellow conservative talker Rush Limbaugh. Oh noes! What has come between the two men? England, it seems! Well, according to Media Matters, here's what Savage said:

SAVAGE: And yet here in America, I've had some people come to my aid. They see the bigger picture. They're not like [Bill] O'Reilly; they're not like Limbaugh, who's the biggest disappointment of all. Limbaugh has turned out to be the biggest phony of all of them, all of them. Amongst all of them, he is the biggest fraud. Rush Limbaugh is a fraud. When he was accused of the drug usage, I supported him. But that man is a one-way street. It's all about him. He's in it for nobody but himself.

[LISTEN]

I guess that Limbaugh wronged Savage by not coming to his aid when Great Britain's Home Secretary Jacqui Smith barred Savage from entering the United Kingdom, along with white supremacist Stephen "Don" Black and anti-gay gadabout Fred Phelps. In Limbaugh's defense, I find it hard to believe that Savage actually wanted to go to England. I mean, wouldn't all the socialized heath care anger him? Wouldn't he be revolted at the thought of "bangers and mash," which Savage would inevitably misconstrue? Anyway, I'm guessing it was news to Limbaugh that Savage actually wanted to piss off to dear old Blighty, but there you have it.

In another month or so, these two will be fighting over what remains of the ad revenue generated by the auto industry. So, look forward to that!

Which is worse, weiner or limburger?

[Telemachus]

Trick question! One tastes bad, the other smells bad.

[JScott]

Gettin a big tub of popcorn this is gonna be good.

[mommadona]

I know.

"And what did YOU do in 2010, gramma?"

"Oh, I watched the collapse of a major political party and the US economy - wouldn't have missed a minute of it..."

"Really?? Tell me about it...."

[GeorgeP922]

Is Savage really in it for the politics.

Were talking about a group of guys here folks, that make 5-30 MILLION a year on the radio.

When you have that much money, your feeling really don't get hurt.

[GrowBag]

Tell that to McCain.

[SoCalNick]

McCain doesn't have any money , he is Cindy's Bitchboy. He leaves her and all he has is his dual Pensions.

[Cacaoatl]

I am surprised that Savage just assumed that other conservative talking heads would come to his aid. Why would they? Helping their fellow human beings during a crisis runs contrary to their nature. Especially Limbaugh. As long as Limbaugh isn't banned from England, he isn't going to give a damn about the issue.

SUGGESTION:
PUT MICHAEL SAVAGE, SEAN HANNITY GLENN BECK AND RUSHBO IN GITMO FOR A WEEK OR TWO.....

[hayduke74]

Why do you h a t e the 2nd amendment so much?

[LauraD]

.........

You realize that the second amendment protects the right to bear arms, and therefore has literally nothing to do with that post, right?

I'm hoping there was a healthy dosage of snark and/or sarcasm in that post.....b­ut I'm afraid I've missed it.

[igotthis]

Or better, put them all in the same room with former Governor Jesse Ventura!

[WinterParkMom]

and water board them, and wall them and deprive them of sleep....t­hen we'll hear about how great it is down there. It's freakin paradise.

[kev1000]

CAGE MATCH! Four men enter ...

[mommadona]

Nothing else to say
Absolutely nothing...­.

Gotta give him props for bashing Limbaugh though. He has a bigger pair of nuts than the entirety of his party.
