Jacqui Smith has indeed stepped down from her post, and Savage tells the San Francisco Chronicle “this is very unusual, that a mere shock jock would bring down a government official.” He’s referring to his protest over Smith including him on a “naming and shaming” list of foreigners who won’t be allowed into the U.K. because of their views. But the Chronicle’s Carla Marinucci notes that Smith has been “under investigation, in headlines and the focus of scandal on a number of fronts.” That doesn’t faze the “Savage Nation” host, who last week filed suit against Smith, charging defamation.
