Michael Weiner

Michael Weiner (who uses his gay-porn name "Savage" for the show) is host of the political radio show Savage Nation, a blatant ripoff of the Colbert Nation. He holds a Ph.D in nutrition science but, since he can yell really loud and call liberals unpatriotic, he is well-qualified as a political commentator. He is also a respected psychologist who first recognized that liberalism is a mental disorder.

Savage's real name is Michael Alan Weiner. It's probably pronounced like wiener or whiner, so you know he was made fun of as a kid. The name Savage and his radio super-manliness are his way of compensating for his low self-esteem. He even imitates his childhood bullies on his show by calling Rush Limbaugh "Hush Bimbo," Sean Hannity "Pawn Hannity," Bill O'Reilly "Loofa Man," and The People's Republic of San Francisco "San Franfreako."

Though Savage blatantly rips off several aspects of the Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert respects his literally constant use of truthiness and his contempt for fact and logic.
