And... Savage Bashes "Ethical Edge"

I could hardly believe my ears when Michael Savage issued his personal brand of stinging criticism in ridiculing MSNBC's special program, The Ethical Edge.

Describing the Catholic priest by what Savage thought of his apparent orientation, bashing a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, and indulging in no small measure of rhetorical excess in various other respects, Savage outdid himself in an effort to seem ... whatever he is. Cutting through the ... carp, it seemed that he thought that the guests on the program were far too lenient on looters.

It's times like these that I wish I didn't feel it necessary to listen to his program. But I can't deny that it's addictive.

Today's diatribe, nevertheless, was incoherent. It's rare enough that a national program covering ethics can be found on cable. I would have expected Savage to have had a good word to say about it's bare existence. No such luck.

It's a shame, really. I wonder if he's still sore that it was on MSNBC that he lost his one and only television show.
