He He He! The Savage Wiener and InsHannity are havin' a feud!

By MACKENZIE WEINGER | 1/24/14 7:02 PM EST
On the airwaves and behind-the-scenes, two major conservative radio hosts are waging a war for the afternoon drive — and the moral high-ground.

A simmering feud between radio stars Michael Savage and Sean Hannity has burst to the surface now that the two men are going head to head in prime drivetime — battling for listeners and advertisers in an already competitive market.

The two pundits aren’t just questioning each others bonafides. It’s not simply a professional rivalry — it’s clearly personal.
“My competitor doesn’t have the capacity to go beyond the Democrat-Republican talking points,” Savage told POLITICO. “That’s all he’s ever done. That’s all he can do. He has no education. I’m just going to lay it on the line, I’m not going to mince words.”

and this will be there. How do either of these gentlemen make a living? People who have something to offer society, who work hard who can make a positive difference struggle while these creeps thrive.

because he occasionally loses his shit completely. Has a temper and is easily provoked by trollish callers. Sometimes he just works himself into a frenzy without outside assistance. I think he's mentally ill.

Hannity is just dull. He might as well be a line reader for the RNC. It's not entertaining at all because he's clearly in full control/CEO mode and says the things he's supposed to say.

As long as they're going after each other, we know they've got nothing else to say. Obamacare is a hit!

There are yakkers I can monitor, LIMBOsevic and O'LOOFAH on the Wingnut side and Tweety on the Whatever side, but can only take HANNITY in snippets while in the car on errands (not long distance), and this week I heard him refer to a "fake Conservative host" on whom he is amassing a file of dirt, who he said SCHUMER called "the only Conservative host I can talk to," and that he would release the file when the time is right, but in the meantime it contains something about this person vacationing in Fiji and swimming with Alan GINSBERG.

Back at the Google, a simple Search on "Michael Savage Alan Ginsberg Fiji" netted the "scandalous" swimming and references to Savage WIENER wanting to take or having pics of the vacationers nude. EWwww. So much for the FILE Hannity is doing the J.Edgar thing with.

Back when MSNBC was in one of its previous stages of driving me up the wall and had The Savage WIENER on the air, I did some of my basic digging and learned about his change of surname and his flipping from the Left or the bohemian or whatever he was and his pal-ling with GINSBERG and FERLINGHETTI back when. I started calling him The Savage WIENER in posting here, so I'll take credit for that but also for the "R&K" thing in DU2 and "R#&K" in DU3 and a few other little things.

So when I heard HANNITY make the references, I zoomed into guessing that he was talking about Savage WIENER.

[font size=5]ROY COHN'S LAST DAYS
In the grip of AIDS, the all‑powerful Roy Cohn maintained his fierce bravado. One year after his death, his young cousin tells the inside story.[/font]

August 1987
BY DAVID LLOYD MARCUS

One Sunday morning in December 1985, I went to have coffee with Roy Cohn in a penthouse overlooking the Breakers hotel in Palm Beach. I was a reporter for the Miami Herald, but the visit was personal. Roy Cohn was my cousin, and I had a question to ask him, and a favor. ... ....

Roy and my father, Lloyd Marcus, were first cousins, but opposites in every way. They hadn't spoken for twenty years. I grew up with the notion that Roy Marcus Cohn was the embodiment of evil. ....

Roy grew up in the Bronx. His father, appointed to the New York State Supreme Court by Franklin Roosevelt, was gentle and reserved. His mother was overbearing, "like the cow that gives milk and then kicks over the pail,” as my grandmother, Roy's aunt, likes to say. Everyone in the family can tell a Dora Cohn anecdote. For instance, the first summer Roy went away to camp, Dora stayed in a hotel nearby the entire time. ....

Everyone who spent time with Roy knew that the stories of his engagements to Barbara Walters and several other women were fiction. ... ....
