In reply to Glenn Beck's Greatest Hits: His Insanity is Very Real
On Monday, Glenn Beck repeated that thing about some man in Mexico City that Obama shook hands with on April 16 dying from swine flu the following day. As was reported in the "fact-based community" days earlier the man (65-year-old head of the national museum in DF by the name of Javier Solis) died from pneumonia, complications of a long-standing health condition on April 23.

But Beck is the kind of showman that doesn't let facts get in his way. And that's why we love him.

You just knew FOX News would give a show to a slow-witted loon who seems capable of climbing a tower with a high-powered rifle to "set things right."

Again, He's the Son of Biff Tannen. The McFly Family nemesis.

Here's the deal on guys like Glenn, and any mean looking Black dude will back me up 100% on this point;

Guys like Glenn Beck talk huge amounts of shit. 24/7. So it stands to reason that in his past, at some point, he pissed off a guy like me... And for a guy like me, or a big, mean looking Black dude, Glen beck is like a lamb to the slaughter. as Soon as I, or a big mean looking Black dude call out a guy like Glen, you can almost see him working over time to hold his water... The punch line is to make him keep explaining himself to the point where he starts crying and begging.

He is, without a doubt in my mind, a big, huge pussy.

My old drill Sergeant used to call guys like Glen "Slimy worms" as in, "you slimy fucking worm, who the fuck do you think you are?!?"..

@stanhalen: I know it was just last week that I said I would make George Will dance for potatoes, but on further reflection, I'll take that back and you should take back your wish. I agree with your reasoning that that's probably why Glenn is like he is, but maybe we need less of people thinking they can berate others into submission. So if George Will ever needs a potato and I have one, I'll give it to him. It's called sharing.

It's easy to wrap ourselves in the delusion that everyone sees Beck for the clown that he is. Unfortunately, a casual stroll through YouTube reveals the effect he has on those "special" amongst us.

@onebadclam: I like that she's keeping us up to date on all the completely inaccurate and false information she can find off glenbeck.com

Beck will slip up one of these days and say something about "The Jews" or "The Blacks" and crawl back under the talk radio rock like Michael Savage.

You know I'm beginning to think this is all an act by Mr. Beck to gain ratings. Back when he was on Headline News he was a tad annoying but well spoken.

He is trying super hard to knock our beloved O'reilly out of the top spot, but I will take O'reilly crazy over Beck crazy any day.

How can anybody see that clip of him crying and not realize that there is something really wrong with this guy? It's just to stunning to laugh or cry or even cringe.

Also, why are you including that guy fainting in the video like Beck had something to do with it?

@uncivily obedient: 'Cause the guy kept telling him that he didn't feel well, and Beck dismissed him multiple times, and the day after that he kept saying he "saved" the guy's life or something like that.

@uncivily obedient: I think they included the fainting guy because he directly told Glenn Beck he was going to faint four separate times before he went down, and Beck ignored him. Which is another kind of crazy, but yes, still crazy.

All snark aside, the Hyundai program is a hell of a good marketing campaign right now. I think you have to have paid at least as much as the car has depreciated, so it's not like they're losing any money; and who feels secure enough in their job right now to actually go out and buy a new car without this sort of offer? The second I see the same program from Volvo, I'm buying a damned XC70.

@DennyCrane: The part I hate the most about those is when those two fat white trash ladies say "all I can say is... sham-WOW!" as if they invented some sort of hilarious bon mots, when all they did was say the NAME OF THE PRODUCT WITH DIFFERENT EMPHASIS. It seriously makes me want to kill somebody that they're so proud of themselves. The stupid fat frikkin ball sacks.
