The media monitoring turns up this little twisted gem of racism from Savage. So, if Powell endorses a Democrat, now he is a n*****; but there are no white racial bigots. What race is Savage? How does his views slant his other coverage of events from his right white well paid perch?

Powell may tippee toe on the edge of a war criminal based upon the Iraq lies, but if he would toady to Bush for 4 years and travel the world as secretary of state, I doubt he would have stayed sane if he was driven by racism.
