Wow!  I can actually say I knew of Michael Savage when he was a “nobody” in the talk radio business.  Now listen at him.  All grown-up from guest hosting on a San Francisco early morning show to being the third-most-listened-to radio jock in America.  With an estimated 400-plus stations carrying his Savage Nation Show and 8-10 million faithful listeners, Savage is a very influential mouth.  continued
