Title: Sometimes Entertaining But Very Loose With Facts
Review: Savage (nee Michael Weiner) can't seem to make up his mind whether he's an arch conservative or a liberal. Although he professes to hate the latter, he does have some liberal values among his core beliefs. Mostly, however, I think he's just schtick -- saying or writing whatever he needs to for ratings. Unlike Limbaugh Hannity and their imitators, he's not a shill for big money. He's more of a crochity xenophobe, with a touch of decency and liberalism.Just be careful about his "facts." Recently I heard him talk about the 400,000 Russian casualties in taking Berlin at the end of WWII. He mentioned this a few times, so I bothered to read the Battle of Berlin and Savage was wildly wrong. He also overlooked important facts that contradicted the parallel he was trying to draw between the Battle of Berlin and the U.S. invasion of Iraq.Bottom line -- don't buy the book.
