Michael Savage, Sean Hannity dial up radio feud
On the airwaves and behind-the-scenes, two major conservative radio hosts are waging a war for the afternoon drive and the moral high-ground.
A simmering feud between radio stars Michael Savage and Sean Hannity has burst to the surface now that the two men are going head to head in prime drivetime battling for listeners and advertisers in an already competitive market.
The two pundits arent just questioning each others bonafides. Its not simply a professional rivalry its clearly personal.
My competitor doesnt have the capacity to go beyond the Democrat-Republican talking points, Savage told POLITICO. Thats all hes ever done. Thats all he can do. He has no education. Im just going to lay it on the line, Im not going to mince words.
You could say, well, Im a snob, Savage said. Well, ok, Im proud of my doctorate, two masters degrees, Im proud of my 28 books, including many in health. And so, yeah, Im proud of my academic achievements. I believe its embarrassing for people to act as experts, even in politics, if they dont have a rigorous training in anything.

(Savage wrote his health books pre-2000 under his real name Michael Weiner. Titles include Healing Children Naturally and Plant a Tree.)
And thankfully Thom Hartmann and Randi Rhodes are on their 3-6 ET time slot, and they don't publicly talk sh** about each other.
