Karma's a bitch.On March 1, Creative Artists Agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA) is a talent and literary agency which represents a vast array of actors, musicians, writers, directors, and athletes, as well as a variety of companies and their products. , Hollywood's most powerful talent agency, announced it had dropped uber-right-wing radio host Michael Savage as a client, just two days after announcing it had signed him in the first place. The move came after Savage made homophobic comments about another CAA Caa See CCC. client, Melissa Etheridge, in response to her Oscar acceptance speech in which she thanked her wife, Tammy, and four children. "It makes me want to puke Puke Slang for selling off a losing position even if the loss is substantial. Notes: The point at which an investor decides to sell regardless of price has been dubbed "the puke point. ," Savage said on his syndicated radio show the day after the Oscars. "I want to vomit when I hear it....I think that it's child abuse to do that to children without their permission." Savage's invective probably didn't go over well at CAA--not only is one of the agency's partners openly gay, but the company represents a host of queer-friendly stars like Madonna and Tom Hanks. Savage didn't explicitly mention his firing on the air, saying instead: "Liberalism is a mental disorder mental disorder Any illness with a psychological origin, manifested either in symptoms of emotional distress or in abnormal behaviour.

He also continued to bash Etheridge--who refused to comment for this story--saying on March 5 that two women raising children was "nauseating" and that "the pink hand of Hollywood" controlled the national media. Attempts to reach Savage for comment were unsuccessful. |
