Customer Reviews

our only hope

Dr Savage, with his brilliant independent mind, brings a controversial and informing novel to one's reading list. In his book, he describes the filth in washington, and he details the failures of this filth. Savage attacks both republicans and democrats alike which brings a non-biased opinion to his novel. I highly recommend this incredable piece of art to anyone with a mind capable of logic and reason.

Savage Rules

Notice how the "Savage Weiner" psychos never attack Savage's positions on current issues, they just attack his name change and positions he supposedly took on alternative medicine 25 years ago? It kind of speaks for itself, doesn't it? They have to attack him on something other than his positions, since he is right on target about them and they know it. They do the same thing to Ann Coulter - "She lied about her age on her driver's license." Yea, so? What does that have to do with her ability to call liberals out on their utter stupidity? It's a small group of radical propagandists who chase Savage and Coulter, creating websites devoted entirely to discrediting them and they go after Savage's advertisers too - I can tell by these posts it's the same group of people with the same tired smears that have been posted online for years. One of them even calls himself "Savage Weiner." He's so obsessed with despising Michael Savage, he named himself after him. I was crashing their message boards 4 years ago - just wait, they will come back and post something about Savage "swimming naked with Allen Ginsburg." I don't care if he married Allen Ginsburg, it has nothing to do with his accuracy as a pundit. Facts are facts, which is why they never attack his arguments, just his past life as a hippie in the 60's. He was amongst them in his early years, which is why he has such an iron grip on how to best expose them and that is why they work day and night to try to discredit HIM, not his arguments. Notice how aside from only a couple reviewers who didn't like the style or tone of the book, the only critical review that even addressed Savage's arguments in a rational manner was a conservative defending Rush Limbaugh? The left-wing dolts in the Savage Weiner crowd again just exposed themselves as complete idiots and saved me the trouble. Though a die-hard Savage fan, I wasn't sure if I would like the Political Zoo based on the general premise until I read the chapter on Bono (Gaelic shamus). When he asked Bono, "What's next almighty Bono? A worldwide stand against sadness? An end to B.O.? A cure for death?" I was laughing out loud. And that's only page 22. Then he tops the Bono section off at the end by quoting "one of the more intelligent members of the rock-and-roll species," Alice Cooper... "If you're listening to rock stars in order to get your information on who to vote for, you are a bigger moron than they are." I'm only on the "C's," just now embarking on the Jimmy Carter (Marxus peanutfarmera) section, but I can tell you the Bono chapter alone is worth the purchase price. How about one of you Savage Weiners come forward and try to refute something in the Political Zoo with evidence?

A Funny Book to Test Your Sense of Humor

For a political reader of Savage and his cohorts (I hesitate to say cohorts, because he would say he has no equals--but they're part of the scene, let's say)...this is a creative breath of fresh air and for liberal, conservative, or independent alike--if you cannot find something funny here, then you may have either lost or never had a sense of humor....but that, of course, is for the reader to find out! I'd highly recommend this book--and that you listen to his radio show while he is still reading from it. He alludes to many topics not mentioned here, which are well worth the time to hear about. If anything here offends you, that is probably a good thing. He does not spare Republicans, and Dick Cheney's ox is well gored...

Awesome as usual even though a bit unusual for a Savage book

This time Savage really outdid himself with his latest book of satire: The Political Zoo. As a conservative and a Savage lover, I could not stop laughing at most, if not all, of the cartoons a write-ups in this book. As for the 2 or 3 negative reviews that insist on calling Savage by his real, legal name, it is obvious they are just "Red Diaper Doper Babies" who have been paid to post their reviews, clearly have a personal hatred for Savage, or both. Of course, no liberal is going to laugh when reading this conservative work. The truth often hurts and hurting is never funny for the "hurtee". Love the book and love the man!!! BTW, as for the reviewer that claimed they thought that Savage, O'Reilly, and Limbaugh were all in agreement, you obviously have never really heard Savage or even those other talk shows.

Great insight into the elitus asleepus

I love, love, love this book. Dr. Savage nails everyone of these characters with wit, incredible humor and facts. His ability to reduce complex issues and thoughts into concise descriptions makes it possible for everyone to understand. The fact that he isn't interviewed or asked to comment on all the various political shows on TV and the radio is an outrage. We need many more who can speak out like him and tell it like it is without fear of not being politically correct. A friend told me he can't listen because Michael yells too much. Well I say someone needs to be yelling about things right now. What do you think Paul Revere did! Keep shouting it from the mountain tops Michael, we're listening!
