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.
