Glenn Beck: Spot On

Fox's Glenn Beck rips Joe "Primary Colors" Klein a new asshole after Klein (who didn't have the balls to publish the Clinton book under his own name) vomited a condescending "See Spot Run" TIME mag piece on the intellectual vacuity of the American public.

To wit:  

1. The Obama Administration has done a terrible job explaining the stimulus package to the American people...especially since there have been very few documented cases of waste so far.

2. This is yet further evidence that Americans are flagrantly ill-informed...and, for those watching Fox News, misinformed.

It is very difficult to have a democracy without citizens. It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of dodos.

Why is Glenn second only to Oprah in popularity?  This. Sixteen minutes and a few seconds of pure pathos, bathos, cunning comedy, effete snobbery, hypocrisy, corruption, sex, lies, and videotapes:

  1. I think tonight's State of the Union Speech will have a strong Clintonian flavor.

    It's NYT week at You Have To Be This Tall To Go On This Ride.

    Why does Maureen Dowd compare our President to Mr Spock?

    The State of the Union “Rescue, Restore, Rebuild. Mr Spock makes his move.

    “When the men on the chessboard
    Get up and tell you where to go”

  2. While I'm not a faithful watcher of Glenn Beck, this clip was masterfully done. The man deserves a standing ovation.
