Jacqui Smith’s recently released ‘banned list’ of people barred from coming into the UK has had the unintended consequence of sparking a war of words between rightwing shock-jocks in the United States.

Radio commentator Michael Savage, banned from coming into the UK, launched into a full-blown tirade against Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly for not backing him enough.

According to the Huffington Post, he said:

Savage: And yet here in America, I’ve had some people come to my aid. They see the bigger picture. They’re not like [Bill] O’Reilly; they’re not like Limbaugh, who’s the biggest disappointment of all. Limbaugh has turned out to be the biggest phony of all of them, all of them. Amongst all of them, he is the biggest fraud. Rush Limbaugh is a fraud. When he was accused of the drug usage, I supported him. But that man is a one-way street. It’s all about him. He’s in it for nobody but himself.

Perhaps something good did come out of the list then.
