It’s almost too good to be true.

Our favorite self-promoter and radio blowhard, Michael Savage, made a “commitment” on his radio program this evening that will no doubt spur some to run to their email programs.

Savage said that “soon after” his name is removed from the United Kingdom’s “banned” list and his name is cleared, he will leave radio.

“And you’ll never hear from me again. I will disappear,” he said.

I can sense many of you looking up the email address of the British Home Office right now.

To recap, back in May it was revealed that Savage was one of 16 people included on a “name and shame” list published by the British Home Office. The list is a subset of a larger list comprised of people who will not be allowed to enter the UK.

Savage feigned outrage, saying he had been defamed because his made-up radio name was included on a list of terrorists, murderers and at least one religious fruitcake.

He wasted no time in suing the former Home Secretary, the foolish foolish Jacqui Smith, and the British government.

Savage’s lawyers recently reportedly received a letter from the government lawyers, saying they will consider removing his name from the list if he repudiates statements such as those calling for the execution of millions of Muslims.

Now, Savage says that when his name is removed, he’ll ride off into the sunset.

Uh huh.

Call me cynical, but I ain’t buying it.

You have to understand one thing about The Savage: He craves the attention. He goes on and on about how he didn’t need all the publicity generated by his being banned, but he put the lie to that statement himself when he hired a British PR firm that vowed to keep him in the papers daily.

Does that sound like a guy who doesn’t want the publicity?

So I find it hard to believe that this Father of All Narcissists will be able to walk away from the microphone. And didn’t he just sign a multi year contract with his syndicator in November?

My guess is that Savage either simply ignores his promise to leave if he’s removed from the list or make up some cockamamie reason to stay on.

Either way, we’ll be hearing that blowhard till he drops behind the mic.

Keep the faith.
