UPDATE: Glen Beck voted Olbermann's Worst Person in the World
Glen Beck is the new-ish pundit on CNN.
He is also a spectacular douche bag.
Beck is the first person in media political punditry who may just be as stupid as Rita Cosby. I mean, there's O'Reilly and Coulter and all those other inflammatory cowards who have no interest in reporting news. But at least - and it pains me to say it - at least they have some brains. I know, I know, their brains are working on nothing but ways to feed both their pocketbook and their rampant narcissistic personality disorder. But I have this uncanny feeling that isn't going away:
I suspect that Glen Beck is stupid as a bag of hair.
I am still at a loss for words in regard to the following exchange between Beck and Keith Ellison, first-time congressman for the state of Minnesota. Oh, and he happens to be Muslim.
BECK: Thank you. I will tell you, may I -- may we have five minutes here where we're just politically incorrect and I play the cards face up on the table?
ELLISON: Go there.
BECK: OK. No offense, and I know Muslims. I like Muslims. I've been to mosques. I really don't believe that Islam is a religion of evil. I -- you know, I think it's being hijacked, quite frankly.
With that being said, you are a Democrat. You are saying, "Let's cut and run." And I have to tell you, I have been nervous about this interview with you, because what I feel like saying is, "Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies."
And I know you're not. I'm not accusing you of being an enemy, but that's the way I feel, and I think a lot of Americans will feel that way.
ELLISON: Well, let me tell you, the people of the Fifth Congressional District know that I have a deep love and affection for my country. There's no one who is more patriotic than I am. And so, you know, I don't need to -- need to prove my patriotic stripes.
You bet your fat white ass Ellison doesn't need to prove his patriotic stripes. Upstanding taxpayers in Minnesota just elected Ellison to represent their interests in Washington. And I don't know if Mr. Beck is aware of this little-known fact, but Muslims can, in extenuating circumstances, be Americans. Especially if they were born here. Sometimes to American parents. On American soil. In the American fucking state of fucking Minnesota. No offense, Glen Beck. I know assholes. I like assholes. I've been to their frat houses, their football games, I've entertained their slanted, boring conversation. But I really do believe that ignorance is THE religion of evil.
Sir, I think you need to prove to all of us that you are not working with our enemies.
And now, so does CNN.
Ten things that I think are batshit crazy:
1. Ohio goes Democratic. Cincinnati keeps Jean Schmidt. Are you all retarded? I asked you a question, retard.
2. Rick Santorum brought his 20-week-old dead fetus home for his children to cuddle. This won him votes in Pennsylvania.
3. Today's headline from the Seattle Post Intelligencer: 'Rumsfeld Becomes Another Iraq War Victim'. I know, how about 'The Seattle Post Goes and Fucks Itself'.
4. James Dobson instructs fathers to let their sons see their 'big boy' penis is the shower, to show them who's boss. He no longer has time for his brother-in-christ Haggard, apparently due to his immoral sexual conduct.
5. Stephen Baldwin is reborn and calls himself a "Psycho for Christ". I expected more from him. Like a date rape trial or a hooker in the new patio concrete.
6. I am starting to think Scientology is normal.
7. Fish, and sometimes frogs, still rain down from the sky. It happened recently in India, and no one cares but me.
8. John Negroponte is the anti-christ, and no one seems to notice. Honduran death squads ring any bells??! Awww, forget it, just look at him. He's a giant skeleton head on some popsicle sticks.
9. We no longer have a TV, and I still managed to find out about Britney Spears' divorce. This makes me really really angry.
10. Republicans repeatedly pull out their brilliant, top-secret psy-ops weapon, "Do you want the terrorists to win?", and people act like it's a NORMAL QUESTION.
To (mis)quote Henry Rollins, "Where to now, my sweet fascist?"
Godammit do I love karma.
Note to fundamentalist christians: Yes, I am rejoicing in the misfortunes of others. Rejoicing that all the misfortune and pain that he has caused other others will finally, blessedly, come to an end.
One less gay-bashing, war-loving, hate-mongering, hypocritical, self-aggrandizing bastard to manipulate the vulnerable and indoctrinate the children before their wonderfully open minds learn how to think critically. Learn how to protect themselves.
I wonder what the Day of Attonement feels like? You know, the one Pastor Haggard had been saving for our loathsome, sinful asses.
As Pastor Haggard says, The Bible is full of blood.
