Silence is golden unless . . . Please come CAPTION Glenn Beck!!!



Head Wreck is "saying": "I've said a lot of words in my time. Before I sobered up, these were often dark words that shoved people's faces in the toilet bowl and flushed, or pointed words like sharpened umbrella pikes to goose old ladies with, or words like fecal stew to smear on people's faces, or stinky little words like used enema bags to squirt on people's salads. . . . But these days my words are good and of use, pointing out the traitors among us, the miscreant and vile, the sodomites and spies, the haters of America who need stomped into the ground, broken, exhausted, and defeated. . . . Words of love and concern, in other words."

6. Excuse me, but Beck is reported to be raking in around 80 million a year

has a pretty sophisticated studio and production company and an audience that is expanding and supporting him financially.

Meanwhile Olbermann is back to jock sniffing.

Who's the moron?

7. Is this your concept of stealth? God gawd. Whatever -- back to the subject at hand.

Sean Hannity is ten times dumber than Beck, but he's a star.
Take Limbaugh's weight, divide by 10, multiply by 2, and that's his IQ (roughly 80). And he is filthy rich.

I will give Beck credit for marching to his own drummer, though it's clear that the beat in his head distracts him mightily.

Since Buckley's death, the smartest conservative in America is Ann Coulter. How's that for irony?

So who's the moron was the question.

Didn't imply that Beck was stealthy. Hell, he's in your face, right out in public. It's an act, he's a charlatan, a snake oil salesman and whatever else, but a moron?

Depends on what your definition of moron is I guess.

10. Beck is a fucking moron. He is painfully stupid to the point being immeasurably dumb. Clear enough?

tsk tsk. Your friends are watchin, and you aren't even putting up a half decent show of it.

It's an act, he's a charlatan, a snake oil salesman and whatever else,
Now you're trying too hard. Just stop.

but a moron?

Depends on what your definition of moron is I guess.
Let's put it this way: Beck could stroll into a cavern filled with conservatives and be a relative genius, but he'd still be a moron.

I'd still rant and rave and screech like a shrill harpy. My message is *that* important.
