Yeah, if McCain had won Beck wouldn't have much of a show.His fan base would spend their time praying for McCain to pass so Palin could have the seat God intended her to have. They wouldn't have time to listen to birther insanity or crazy happy birthday videos.
Also, I resent that comparison. John McCain isn't nearly as cuddly as Teddy Roosevelt was!
Didn't Clinton get the Coulter "endorsement" during the campaign? I am sure Hillary is sitting in a room some where wondering where she went wrong.
Oh, please. Obama is the best thing that has happened to the right politically and to him professionally. The right are great at playing the victim. They like to cast themselves as the outraged, ignored, and aggrieved.
It's just an easy, convenient way for him to assert his "independence." There's nothing easier than ridiculing a losing presidential candidate. And there won't be any pitchforks, because the hard-right people who fawn over Beck are the ones who think McCain ruined Sarah Palin, not the other way around. McCain is already a lame-duck to them.
I fucked a used-up 80s coke whore nearly two decades past her prime without a rubber and am wearing a rep tie with a pinstripe suit; I should be ground into dust so that my entire body fits in a vial *this big*!
Are you really sure the "old media" was doing "everything they could to cover up" the Edwards story? Or were they just first trying to verify the story for themselves because the truth is most people think of the National Enquirer as a trashy tabloid that writes stories about Bigfoot and Jesus coming back to earth so maybe it's best for say, The New York Times, to not immediately run a story that says "according to the National Enquirer"? But yes of course, the old media failed us again. Clearly they were trying to cover up scandal. Never mind that The New York Times broke the Spitzer story that brought down a sitting governor.
@SlantedAndDisenchanted: yeah, but if the New York Times wasn't there, the people that fed the story to them would have just fed it to another organization with some reach.
Not suggesting some conspiracy, just that papers are fed stories by interested parties.
I am beside myself with excitement. For somebody who supported his campaign during primary season, it scares me how much I am enjoying his stunning fall from grace. I can't decide: Should I attribute this fact to an extremely oversensitive hypocrisy reflex? Or am I just reveling in tabloid trash?
@SeaBassTian: Well I know that I am a tabloid slut, but more to the point I also know that had this Obama thing not taken off, John Edwards would've been THE token Bobby Kennedy guy on the left, the of-the-people alternative to Hillary Clinton's establishment status. Without O (which is a big 'without') his chances of ascending to the presidency were quite good, and to think that this idiot, this dumb fuck, once won me over with his anti-poverty talk and his appreciation of all races and sexualities and lifestyles, with the moral high ground card he so prominently carried, and then he did THIS? Well, that is shit. Also: what if would have gotten the nomination? Or worse yet, the presidency? Another man playing fast and loose with the reputation of the liberal party in the US is the last thing a rehabilitated Democratic wing needed, and he didn't give a shit. Morally, he is bankrupt. But politically, he is a turd, and also the ass that turd came out of. John Edwards is a gross person.
He's just the most disgusting, inhuman piece of slime. If he's finally admitting it, it's because it helps him somehow. This is not an act of honor or humility.

Once again Beck proves he doesn't actually know anything about anyone in history, ever.
