| Quote: | Strange bedfellows: It turns out that ultra-hot conservative talk show host Michael Savage is backing Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown for state attorney general.
"What can I say? I think he'd make a great attorney general compared to the other guy. By the way, who is the other guy?'' Savage said, when asked why he chose Democrat Brown over conservative Republican Chuck Poochigian.
Savage, whose rants can be heard locally on KNEW-AM, is backing up his hot talk with some hot money as well. Savage Productions, which lists Savage as president and his wife, Janet Weiner, as director, has donated $5,600 to Brown's campaign.
"You have to make choices in an imperfect world,'' Savage said. "And this, this Machugian guy. (Like we said, it's Poochigian.) I never heard of him. I don't even know who he is."
Poochigian has spent the past 12 years in Sacramento, first in the Assembly and now in the Senate. Doesn't impress the president of the Savage Nation.
"Why bet on a horse that isn't going to win? Why throw your money into the garbage?''
So how did the best-selling author of "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder'' wind up backing a liberal once nicknamed "Governor Moonbeam"?
"People change. He changed. He has experience,'' Savage said of Brown. "He started the Oakland military academy -- that was a good thing."
And Brown's politics?
"He's moved to the center, which is what this socialist state needs," Savage said.
"So that's about it. I'm sure you will spin this and make something out of it."
Brown campaign manager Ace Smith would say only, "Michael Savage is one of 5,000 contributors to the campaign."
As for the Poochigian campaign, chief adviser Ken Khachigian told us, "We have Bo Derek, they have Michael Savage -- so between us, we've got the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.''
Who needs to spin after that? |
