Michael Savage is the third most popular talk radio host in the country, a hero to millions of conservatives thanks to venomous rhetoric like this. Like Coulter, Savage knows what the conservative movement craves and delivers -- a steady diet of hate and rage:

On the March 5 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, which aired at 6 p.m. ET, five minutes after the email was sent, Savage lashed out at "hose scum-sucking vermin. Those left-wing rats" who he claimed "won't be happy until we're all on prayer rugs waiting to have our heads cut off." He continued: "You ought to be happy, you liberal SOBs, that I am only a talk-show host. You ought to thank God that I have no avariciousness in my soul. You ought to thank God that I'm not power mad like you liberals, because if I ever ran for office, I can guarantee you, you wouldn't be in business too long. I can guarantee you you'd be arrested for sedition within six months of my taking power. I'd have you people licking lead paint, what you did to this country."

Imagine how entertaining it would be to have someone like him in the Republican debates, saying what most of them think but are (generally) too civilized to say.

A web poll on his site asks whether he should run for the presidency. There are close to 3 million votes. He claims he'll pull the trigger at 5 million.

I gave him a "yes" vote to help him along.

2. Hell yeah - this is the kind of American Republicans need

They need someone to represent them, and Savage fits the bill far better than McCain or Guiliani (the Firefighters Friend).

3. I want to see him run

I want to hear what exactly he will spout off when he loses, it'll be hilarious.

4. Uh uh. I take the "Springtime For Hitler" approach to politics.

You run the worst possible candidate for president and the American public loves him and elects him to office.

Don't do it. Keep Weiner where he is.

6. I think Michael Savage would make a decent president.

I can't find a thingie for dripping sarcasm squared.

It's downright depressing and scary to think there are millions of creepy clods walking among us, who would actually vote to make this disgusting jerk President.
