* RADIO RANT: Shakespeare Savaged
Michael Savage brought out his bag of literary learnèdness again last night (8/15/07), quoting—sort of—Shylock's famous speech beginning "Hath not a Jew eyes . . . ?" (MofV 3.1). But, sputtering on the quotation, he ended with the following edifying advice: "Read your Shakespeare, and you'll get the rest of that particular couplet." Couplet? It's a speech in prose, man; read your prosody handbook, and you'll get why "couplet" in no way applies here. A forgivable error, maybe, if you weren't such a poseur in pedantry. (I think that's called "illiteration"!)

Oh my, you're questioning the Great Savage? The Intellect? Careful, or you'll have the mouth-breathing Savage Nation scratching out hate mail on their mothers' computers.
Did you ever hear him do his Jackie Mason impersonation? Makes me want to reach for the borscht.
Yeh, so intriguing, especially since the only way that I know he's Jewish is from other sources; he seems to be inordinately careful NOT to let his "mainstream" jackboot audience know his ethnic background, and without this, one could read his anti-liberal diatribes as easily including some anti-semitism.
