More entertaining than many of the rightwing horde but, yes, more vicious and crazy at times. I called in a few times; it was fun :)

I've listened to him a few times. He's on one of the local Clear Channel stations. Incredibly vicious, as you say.
I did a web search on him a while back. Turns out his given name is Michael Wiener, so instead of being called "Savage Nation," his show should be called "Wiener Nation." His radio rap would embarrass almost anyone in ordinary company.
