Michael Savage Mulls Presidential Run
Michael Savage, the nation's third-most listened to radio talk-show host, says he may leave his top rated show to make a bid for the GOP nomination for president.

"I know it sounds bizarre but when you consider the people running for the presidency, none . . . seems to be qualified," Savage told NewsMax in an exclusive interview.

The controversial radio host packs a powerful punch in his three-hour daily show and can spark national news. Savage was credited with bringing the Dubai Ports World deal to national attention. The deal would have turned over U.S. port operations to the Middle Eastern company. A public outrage ensued, forcing Dubai Ports World to scuttle their plan.

"I would think that somebody who's not a politician might be a viable candidate," Savage stated, stressing that he would focus his campaign on his mantra: "Borders, language, Culture."

14. The list of possible running mates are endless.
Ann Coulter? Michelle Malkin? 'Mean' Jean Schmidt? Ileana Ros-Lehtinen? Laura Ingraham?

I guess Harris heads the list ... Spunk and Moxie seem to be 'at home' with a Wiener.

20. The Cheney gene pool contains several apt turds. I think Mary would be the most interesting.

:evilgrin: Gotta wonder whether Weiner could bring hisself to holding hands with her. :rofl:

I sure couldn't ... but for totally different reasons.

8. Savage will be
Edited on Tue Feb-06-07 06:01 PM by Mz Pip
the Allen Keyes of 2008. What kind of 'culture' he'll focus on should be interesting. Probably the hate-filled paranoid culture of the right wing.

9. I'd as soon vote for Frank Costello, Jack Nicholson's character in
Scorsese's THE DEPARTED.

In fact, has anybody seen Costello and Savage together?

16. Oh, I *absolutely* want this creature to run. It'll be so much fun
watching his career tank along with his Presidential bid.

Honestly, though; I believe it's just an attention-getter and he's probably trying to lampoon Al Franken's bid for Senate at the same time. Wait for it...

19. Not to bush it, but the phrase "Bring it on" does come to mind
I'll go one further: may he be so disenchanted by the results of the republican primary that he runs as an independent.

21. So the WORM TURNS eh?
This SON OF A BITCH sued my WIFE, going after Takebackthemedia.com with a SLAPP lawsuit for a HALF A MILLION BUCKS.. in the end we prevailed, they backed down because of INFO we had acquired.

Yeah, we got some juicy stuff on him, and gee, wouldn't it be funny if it DESTROYED not only his Political ambitions, but his CAREER?

You would not believe what we know about this guy, and even though *I* would never let this info become public, I know some others that WOULD, like LAWYERS who could call a Press Conference and shine the LIGHT ON HIM.

Bring it on you Racist, Insane, ranting piece of SHIT - you will be in a world of MEDIA PAIN if you do, and other right wingers who would be surprised as HELL at what we know, as well..

Just DO IT Savage, I DARE YOU motherfucker. DO IT.

MAKE MY DAY.

Uh-huh. As reported by Newsmax. :eyes:

They also claim that "...NewsMax.com, one of America's leading online news services..." so, you gotta take it with a grain of salt. (Found at http://www.newsmax.com/poll/savage/?s=lh )
