Right-wing radio host Michael Savage (real surname: Weiner) says he may leave his show to run for the Republican nomination for president in 2008. (That was so last week and Al Franken-y.)

Michael Savage, the nation’s third-most listened to radio talk-show host, says he may leave his top rated show to make a bid for the GOP nomination for president.

“I know it sounds bizarre but when you consider the people running for the presidency, none . . . seems to be qualified,” Savage told NewsMax in an exclusive interview. [emphasis added]

That is about the most ridiculous reasoning for a political neophyte to run on: “They’re all unqualified, so vote for me, who is even less qualified!”

Crackpot Conservatism for America

“Oh, you’re one of the sodomites! You should only get AIDS and die, you pig! How’s that? Why don’t you see if you can sue me, you pig? You got nothing better than to put me down, you piece of garbage? You got nothing to do today? Go eat a sausage and choke on it. Get trichinosis. Okay, got another nice caller here who’s busy because he didn’t have a nice night in the bath house and is angry at me today?”
