one. huge. class. act

glenn beck will hold a "restoring honor" rally this august 28th, on the steps of the lincoln memorial. i tried to figure out wtf this rally is for, but as with most thinks associated with glenn beck, it makes absolutely no sense. if you have a ton of free time, and like torturing yourself, perhaps you can find some answers in this rambling interview he posted on his website. i crapped out about two sentences in.

regardless of beck's motivations, you should be aware that august 28th, 1963 is the day martin luther king gave his "i have a dream" speech...on the steps of the lincoln memorial. that's right, glenn beck is totally hitching is racist-cracker wagon to MLK jr's preeminent speech on racial equality. this is going to be rich.

glen beck is letting the purblic choose the cover for his new book, the overton window, a novel which manifests many of beck's hysterical delusions about the state of the US. and boy are these covers insane. i think these two are the craziest (is that a male statue of liberty??? why are there 3 washington monuments??? that doesn't work with l'enfant's plan at all!!!) :

glenn beck's low opinion of scott brown

"I want a chastity belt on this man. I want his every move watched in Washington. I don't trust this guy. This one could end with a dead intern. I'm just saying. It could end with a dead intern."

apparently glenn didnt like senator brown's comment about his beautiful daughters being "available"

omg kill me now.

a spade is a spade

in an interview with time magazine, anita dunn, white house communications director, said this about fox news channel, "it's opinion journalism masquerading as news..." time reports that michael clemente, head of news at FNC, responded with the sentiment that "white house criticism unfairly conflates the network's reporters and its pundits, like gelnn beck whom he likens to "the op-ed page of a newspaper."

that's a fallacious comparison give that newspapers don't headline their op-ed columnists in the way that fox news (and all cable news channels) gives top billing to their commentators. millions of people don't tune in to watch the short news briefs between FNC's programming; they tune in to watch those shit-eating-grin wearing commentators.

glenn beck = still an idiot

from the white house blog:

RHETORIC: BECK SAID VANCOUVER LOST $1 BILLION WHEN IT "HAD THE OLYMPICS." Glenn Beck said, "Vancouver lost, how much was it? they lost a billion dollars when they had the Olympics." [Transcript, Glenn Beck Show, 9/29/09]

REALITY: VANCOUVER'S OLYMPICS WILL NOT TAKE PLACE UNTIL 2010. Vancouver will host the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games from February 12 - 28, 2010 and March 12-21, 2010, respectively.

fox news anchor and complete idiot, glenn beck seems to have become an issue for companies advertising on the network. several major advertisers have recently requested that their ads not be run during his program.

here's a collection of statements:

• Allergan (maker of Restasis): "We reviewed our commercial schedule, and based on your feedback, we've put any programming featuring Glenn Beck on our "do not air" list. This means that you will no longer see any Restasis ads during programming featuring Glenn Beck. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention."
• Ally Bank (a unit of GMAC Financial Services): "Ally advertises on a broad spectrum of programs to reach our potential customers. Our advertising is not an endorsement of editorial content on any program. We have ceased to advertise on the Glenn Beck program."
• Best Buy
• Broadview Security: "Given the considerations, we have requested of Fox News not to include us in the rotation that would have our commercials running on Glenn Beck's show."
• CVS: "While advertising on Fox is part of our communication plan, we had not requested time on Glenn Beck's show specifically. We have instructed our advertising agency to inform Fox to ensure Glenn Beck's program is not part of our advertising plan."
• Re-Bath: "...We are no longer airing our commercials on the Glenn Beck Show..."
• Travelocity: "We did not specifically place our ad on the show. We buy ads in bulk and then they are placed somewhat randomly. However, we have now specifically asked that our ads do not appear during this show."
• Wal-Mart: "Walmart today confirmed the retailer pulled ads from the Glenn Beck show on August 3rd,"
