The Glenn Beck Meltdown
Oh man.
I spent the AM listening to the Glenn Beck show, post-Super Tuesday.
If you didn’t listen to right-wing radio this AM, you missed some great schadenfreude. Put it this way: it started with Beck saying that conservatives have three choices now: “to park the car in the garage with the engine running; to try to understand just HOW this happened; or to rally round McCain like a bunch of good little puppets– AND I’M NOT GONNA DO THAT!!!” (not verbatim: the Glenn Beck show apparently believes that people will pay $6.95/month for the privilege of downloading his pile of stinking dogshit show).
Actual picture from Beck’s site. No, I’m not going to link there.
Then there was a diatribe about how Beck had been “so wrong” about George W. Bush being a conservative, listing W’s crimes against the party in a voice that grew louder and louder with every bullet point, until he was practically shrieking.
After a brief rant about midgets (apparently, by beck’s own account, he melted down on CNN last night), Beck went on an uninterrupted 15 minute rant about “what I believe as a conservative”. This included a long bit on “legal darwinism” and something about judges making laws to feed McDonalds french fries to obese people (I swear I am not making this up). There were no commercial breaks, no patter from the co-host, just Beck, gibbering like a maniac. There was something about “if you show up at the unemployment office and you don’t have a high school diploma” (which Beck apparently believes are free: I thought my taxes pay for public schools) “then you can go sleep on the pavement until you get a GED”. Then Beck said he wasn’t sure whether he’d be called a “racist” or a “sexist” for the next four years.
When I pulled into the parking lot at work 20 minutes ago, he was still going and for all I know he’s STILL losing his marbles. The best part was that nothing he said made sense, no overarching theme other than “Glenn Beck mad! Glenn Beck SMASH!”. It was like listening to one of those
crazy derelict people that walk through Philadelphia having intense angry conversations with someone who only exists in their imagination. He was like the crazy cat lady from the Simpsons, or my kid having a temper tantrum.
Glenn Beck, post-Super Tuesday
I am SO excited to listen to Hannity this evening on the way home. It is going to be even better.
