Savage Slams Elizabeth Smart

Savage:
Henry. San Francisco. You're on "The Savage Nation."

Caller, Henry:
How are you, Michael. I want to know what's so funny about the Smart [sic].

Savage:
Why? There's something funny about the Smart [sic]?

Henry:
Well, you were laughing about it before. I wanted to know what was so funny? You characterized her as being Snow White. I mean what's so funny--[turns caller volume down.]

Savage:
Who said that's funny? I presented a headline to get your attention. The headline was "Snow White Raped by Bum in White Robes." That's the headline.

Henry:
But you were making like–you were laughing about it. I don't think that's funny.

Savage:
No I'm laughing about the news. The news is crazy.

Henry: Hey.[turns caller volume down.]

Savage:
I'm laughing at the charade her family is putting on. I'm laughing at the charade that the Salt Lake City Police are putting on. I'm laughing at the charade that her spokesman is putting on. I don't buy ANY of it.

Henry:
I don't care whether you BUY it or not. What's so funny about a thirteen-year-old child getting molested? And -- [turns caller volume down.]

Savage:
Absolutely nothing. The man should be executed and so should his wife. That's what should happen.

Henry:
[turns caller volume up.] Why are you on the family's case for? What did they do to you? [turns caller volume down.]

Savage:
I think you're missing the picture Henry.

Henry:
[turns caller volume up.] listen, I saw your show Saturday, I like listening to you. But I can disagree with ya'. And on this one, I definitely disagree. [turns caller volume down.]

Savage:
All right, we don't have to hate each other. But I think you're misinterpreting what you're saying.

Henry
[turns caller volume up.] -- but I wouldn't go down this road, Michael. It doesn't sound good and you're going to lose listeners--because it really aggravated me and I didn't like it at all.

Savage:
Well, that's good to hear. At least you're listening. [terminates call]

Savage:
See, here's how I do a radio show, just in case you don't know. I am bored to death of the news. Absolutely bored beyond my eyeballs. I feel like I'm sinking in oil--from the news. It is so boring....

...we've got Senator Tom Daschle criticizing Bush. But everyone's done that today! God in Heaven!

...If you were me what would you be talking about? Tom Daschle? Would you be talking about war plans...? ... the evils of Sadam?....

Wait, you don't want to hear it anyway. You liberals got your minds made up. You liberals have your mind made up . It's all about oil--all about oil--all about oil. As you merrily go from one antiwar event to another--on oil and oil-based products....

...So what am I going to talk about?....

...approve or disapprove of Bush's ultimatum. 66 to 30 percent. zzzzzz....

...You don't know anything....

...What do you know? You know nothing. You're sheeple. You're being manipulated by the media every day of your life. You don't know anything. That's what they really want to say. You're, you're used by them.

So I want to talk about Snow White Raped in White Robes.

Now who's the bad guy in that headline?

If I were making a newspaper up today, listen to me, and I had an afternoon edition-- And the reader's already bought the morning newspaper, they listened to the radio, they saw the TV, WHY WOULD THEY BUY MY AFTERNOON NEWSPAPER UNLESS I CAUGHT THEIR EYE? The headline is "Snow White Raped by Bum in White Robes!" You're going to read that article! --Which you're doing!

Now who's the bad guy in it? It's the bum in the white robes. He's the bad guy. She's still the good one. The people were right all along. They were withholding the sexual part of this and I don't agree the family had any right to withhold it. That's the essence of the whole case. The people who did it to her should be executed. They should be hung. I made that point. But you don't agree with me.[Changes subject]
