Michael Savage is Brilliant.

Michael Savage, who for some reason gets paid to speak out loud, is claiming that John Roberts gave the "thumbs up!" to  dismantling freedom  upholding Obamacare because of his epilepsy:

Let’s talk about Roberts. I’m going to tell you something that you’re not going to hear anywhere else, that you must pay attention to. It’s well known that Roberts, unfortunately for him, has suffered from epileptic seizures. Therefore he has been on medication. Therefore neurologists will tell you that medication used for seizure disorders, such as epilepsy, can introduce mental slowing, forgetfulness and other cognitive problems. And if you look at Roberts’ writings you can see the cognitive dissociation in what he is saying.

It's not even the quack idea I give a shit about, I'm sure if you look under a few right-wing rocks there's even crazier ideas, but the highlighted line I love, because it's Savage. Who, a few years ago, I pointed out is the smartest man in the world...because he says he is. Awesome.

It looks like Michael Savage is banned in the UK for fermenting hatred. I wish he was banned here - not because of his fermenting hatred but because he spends about 80% of each show explaining to everybody that he is the most educated person in the radio, always with "look, I'm not boasting, it's just a fact, it's something you have to accept, that I'm incredibly smart, I'm not boasting" and on and on and on. It's kind of douchbaggy  charming,actually. Last night apparently he spent the first hour doing "something that's never been done before" ie did the hour as satire. Okay. Then after informing us that that's what he he had been doing, he went on to say that in listening to a recording of it during the break he realized that he had kind of failed because his amazing education and raw intelligence did not allow him to speak without being 100% correct on all things. Brilliant. Reminds me of when I apologized to a chick for my dick being too big and my lovemaking TOO amazing to give her the Big O.
