Jenny McCarthy Blasts Michael Savage For Autism Attack

Michael Savage: You've been served.  Jenny McCarthy is calling the shock jock out for his inflammatory remarks on autism.

“I’ll tell you what autism is — it’s a brat that hasn’t been told to cut the act out,” Savage said two weeks ago. McCarthy, whose son Evan is autistic, was infuriated by Savage's words and is speaking out now.

“You know, I immediately get the news the second anything happens. I read it and had to sit down and kind of breathe a little bit,” McCarthy said. “The media drove me crazy that day wanting comments and I didn’t want to give any more attention to that jerk.

“It’s really about showboating ignorance really,” she said. “I kind of took the high road and kept talking about healing, prevention."

In fact, McCarthy invited Savage to a smackdown to teach him a lesson. “And if he would like, (he can) join me in the ring sometime on the WWE. I’ll show you what I really think."  McCarthy was referring to her appearance last night with John Cena on Saturday Night's Main Event, in which she teamed up with the WWE to raise awareness of autism.

I don't think Savage had the balls to show up, but he's taken some blows in other ways: advertisers pulled ads from his popular radio show and there have been demands for his termination.

I've been working on educating his advertisers so they know whom they're supporting.  I have a list of advertisers heard in various radio markets throughout the country, and I am contacting each of them until I get an answer or they drop Michael Savage.  What I'm finding is that many of them thought that their ads to not air during his show.  Only one so far has admitted to being a current advertiser, and they did not renew their contract with him.  I'm wondering if they're running past ads to make it look like they have support from large sponsors.
