Where'd they all get to?
The Tobacco Road Fogey wonders what happened to all the folks with their knickers in a twist over the "stifling of dissent" when Michael Savage got the boot? I think it's because he's not as good looking as the Dixie Chicks. But it's close.

On a related note, since Savage got axed for wishing death on someone, Brent Bozell wonders why Bryant Gumbel, Nina Totenberg and Julianne Malveaux didn't get the same after similar hijinks. Here's my favorite of the three:
From To The Contrary, PBS, November 4, 1994:

USA Today Columnist/Pacifica Radio Talk Show Host Julianne Malveaux, on Justice Clarence Thomas: “You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease. Well, that's how I feel. He is an absolutely reprehensible person.”
That Julie is a real sweetie!
