Where I live, one of the major radio markets, Savage has been "marginalized"--that is to say, silenced. There's been an aggressive campaign to muzzle him. Savage, in my view, is a John-the-Baptist type, a wild man who nonetheless has been and is right about many of the deeper things. It's true he's an angry soul, but then he's got a lot to be angry about--and so do we. He has touched more than one Third Rail in his career, and they are making him pay for it. I think he got burned out as it became clear what was about to happen in '08, but I suspect he'll be riding high again when the Dems present their amnesty bill and the Middle East heats up.
