Dum Pendebat Filius

This is all I want for Christmas this year. And my birthday. And any other occasion on which anyone might be inclined to present me with a gift. Please, God, let this be for real…

Michael Savage, the nation’s third-most listened to radio talk-show host, says he may leave his top rated show to make a bid for the GOP nomination for president.

Why not, readers? Tom Tancredo is doing it.

Here’s a taste of what Candidate Savage might be like in a debate:

On the now red hot issue of global warming, Savage was equally savage. “It is the biggest hoax of out (sic) lifetimes,” he charged. “It is being promulgated by people who want to control the industrialized West without firing a shot.” He explained that he is the only radio host “with an actual Ph.D. in a real science from a great university.”*

He says the scientific evidence “indicates that there is global warming but it’s a natural cycle that occurs about every 1,500 years and that mankind has almost nothing to do with it.”

How, he asked, could previous ice ages have ended without global warming, which in each case occurred without mankind creating greenhouse gases with the use of fossil fuels.

“What caused the ice ages to recede (sic)?” he asked. “Man did not industrialize the earth until the 19th century.”

The earth, he explained, “warmed through natural phenomena — through sunflares, underwater volcanic activity warming the oceans, for example. “It is the biggest hoax of out (sic) lifetimes,” Savage continued, “For liberals, global warming is their religion, they believe in the hype, and if you do not agree, you are a bad person much like how communists treated non-party members.

* Michael Savage does, in fact, have a Ph.D. in nutritional ethnomedicine from Cal-Berkeley.

Who do you think would be a good person to run Michael Savage’s official campaign blog?
