Update 3p: Savage reax. "Darn! And I was just planning a trip to England for their superior dental work and cuisine!" But seriously, Savage may sue for defamation and claims he hasn't been across the pond in 20 years. Incendiary conservative radio talk show host Michael Savage is banned in Britain! "This is someone who has fallen into the category of fomenting hatred, of such extreme views and expressing them in such a way that it is actually likely to cause inter-community tension or even violence if that person were allowed into the country," sniffs a government spokeswoman of the decision to lump Savage with 15 Arab terrorists, neo-Nazis, murderers, and anti-gay American preachers.
I'd ban"Savage Nation" for this photo...
It's actually for the rabidly anti-Muslim flamethrower's own protection. Britain has so many Muslims (Mohammed is the second most popular baby boy's name) that Savage would most certainly face beheading with a rusty sword in "Londonistan."

Could the Ice Man make it today?
ReplyDeleteJerry Butler?
ReplyDeleteExcuse me. I meant the Grease Man. At least I think I did. I'm old and forgetful.
ReplyDeleteSo who officially makes up the list?
ReplyDeleteMichelle's Momma.
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad people can't be kept out of countries for the simple reason that they're stupid because that would ban Mr. Savage from a lot of places.
ReplyDeleteThe British Home Secretary... that's who Savage is threatening to sue for defamation...
ReplyDeleteSavage couldn't BUY better press...
How can you defame someone who is already known worldwide as a card-carrying douchebag?
ReplyDeleteSo who scores the better putdown: Limbaugh from Obama, or Savage from the brits?
ReplyDeleteBetter question: which scenario results in the best PR?
ReplyDeleteBoth have gotten a million dollars of free publicity from dumb government workers. Obviously some folks are not thinking these positions through. Of course i had to tune in Savage in last night and listen to him relish in the ranting.
ReplyDeleteJimbo, what countries have banned you lately? With that new contract you may have a target on your back.
Lilliput and Lichtenstein are on shaky ground.
