9. romantico's post says Michael Savage ...

while yours says 'Der Weinerfuhrer', which I'm willing to wager a majority of people here, including myself, have no idea who you're talking about.

15. Same reason why he's referred to as "Savage Weiner"

as I have heard here, his real last name is "Weiner" ... but Savage is more of a name you want if you want to project a "He-man tough" rightwing image ...

3. Yay!!!!

4. That's Creative Artists Agency for you unhip people

[Smarmie Doofus]

14. Hmmm... He's a 'creative artist' ? Sounds like....

>>>I don't like a woman married to a woman. It makes me want to puke. I want to vomit when I hear it. I think it's child abuse."

He further commented on homosexuality saying, "There are people who are sexually confused, who think that they're men when they're women. They're not normal.">>>

... an imbecile. What's creative about him?

5. The Weiner got bit, you say? NT

6. That's a good start

CNN should take the hint and fire their own little bundle of hate

[DU9598]

8. Which one?

I can think of several bundles of hate ... Glenn, Nancy, Lou, Wolf

[romantico]

10. Has Melissa Etheridge

made a statement about this?

[DrDan]

11. well I would certainly suggest that Lou and Glenn

are two very different hosts

[C_U_L8R]

16. I was thinking Glenn Beckface

i just didn't want to even think of his name.
Yuck what a turdball of ill-will.

12. 5th recommend.

13. K&R How long do the PTB think we'll take this shit.

I'm totally disgusted with homophobic, racist, and violence worshiping remarks by media scum.

I'm moving "off the grid" as quickly and completely as possible. No regular radio: WinAmp & SIRIUS;
no regular TV except c-span, HBO for the Sopranos, and downloads from Internet Archive; no Washington
Post ever or any other news paper - news aggregations, non subscription.

I'm completely finished with with any of the Corporate Media period - this remark, many others by this idiot and the collection of misfits they think are "talkers," and blatant misrepresentation like Larry King's recent show on global warming with industry shills lying.

There's a new media emerging, it's the media that ended the support for the Iraq war, that informs us about election and 911 fraud; it's the citizen's searching and choice based on their own efforts.

Firing this guy just shows how fucked up CAA was to hire him in the first place. This is not the first homophobic remark he made, by a long shot. CAA will be agents to the starts of a dead media that people ignore and that is impoverished. They deserve it!!!
