In the words of the old Dinah Washington song, “What a difference a day makes, 24 little hours.”
On Monday, British Home Secretary Jacqui Smith announced that she would fight a defamation suit brought by American talk show host Michael Savage after he was barred from entering the UK.
On Tuesday, Smith submitted her resignation to unpopular Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Savage was “outraged” when Smith lumped him together on the list with a Ku Klux Klan grand wizard, a skinhead gang leader and a Hezbollah militant who spent 30 years in prison.
Savage, was reportedly asking for as much as $150,000 in damages and an apology.
British observers believe the Savage issue may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back for Smith.
Great Britain is currently embroiled in a scandal over Members of Parliament submitting fraudulent expense reports for personal items. Smith was caught up in the controversy when she submitted an expense report that included the costs of her husband’s porn purchases.
Whether you like Savage or not, you have to admit that he’s never been a danger to anyone. Except, perhaps, Smith and her career.

Mr. Savage is a patriot! Thank god he points out the emperor has no clothes when the liberal spin media are making him a suit out of invisable thread!! He has what it takes! He is bold and tells it like it is! Thank god for Michael Savage!
G-D SAVE MICHAEL SAVAGE, NOT THE QUEEN
He should go ahead and call one, we could start with the stealth British companies like Tesco’s ‘Fresh and Easy’ and so on! The most important two parts of a boycott are knowing all the companies to boycott AND writing to them telling them that they will no longer be getting a dime from you and why! When I began boycotting French and German companies early in 2003, before O’Reilly started his boycott, I wrote to the companies, and to the French and German consulates, telling them that not only was I going to boycott the obvious French and German companies but the Stealth ones too. I also told them that I would be spreading the boycott vigorously and telling whomever possible the list of companies. I only quit boycotting them when their leadership was changed to America friendly from the anti-American fools they had before.
