How did Sen. Obama get away with ‘murder’? = the Podcast, Episode 8
July 13, 2008
While Matt is away, Tony does it solo. In this podcast, Tony relives a few moments from podcasts past and adds commentary. Tony talks about all things Obama: how Obama duped his supporters, Obama on gay marriage, racism in the primary election, etc. Tony also talks about making exclusive claims about Jesus, and certain rhetoric re: HIV/AIDS. Tony ends the podcast with a Savage moment re: body hair and offers the biblical story of Esau v. Jacob (Gen 25-27). The podcast is not as much fun (or as intelligent) when Matt is gone - but the podcast most go on.

Savage Love Podcast
Against Sen. Clinton’s Cultured Despisers: Obamamanics [and note: 'Obama’s transcendent message produces the sense that Sen. Obama is above it all: He is not politically calculating; He is not like Senator Clinton; Sen. Obama is not a product of the Baby Boomer generation (read, ‘not of this world’), and, therefore, can really take the country somewhere new. However, when one looks under the rhetorical skirt, so to speak, another reality emerges.']
