WTF - Glenn Beck wrote a Christmas book?

[NewJeffCT]

I found this out because my daughter brought home a Scholastic book order and right below one of the books my daughter wanted to order is "Glenn Beck - The Christmas Sweater"...

This is certainly a sure sign of the Apocalypse.

Since there might be more than one Glenn Beck out there, I looked it up on amazon.com and it is the same whacko Fox News guy Glenn Beck... Amazon.com gave it a lousy review, too:

>>>
In Beck's debut novel, the conservative radio and TV host (An Inconvenient Book) makes a weak attempt at a holiday classic in the vein of It's a Wonderful Life. Despite his single mother's financial hardships, 12-year-old Eddie is certain this Christmas he will receive his much-desired Huffy bike. To his dismay, what he finds under the tree is "a stupid, handmade, ugly sweater" that his mother carefully modeled after those she can't afford at Sears (one of four places she keeps part-time jobs). Eddie tosses the sweater and insults his mother before the two go visit his grandparents at their farmouse. On the drive home, though, Eddie's exhausted mother falls asleep at the wheel and crashes, dying instantly. Sent to live with his grandparents, an increasingly bitter and angry Eddie lashes out at his accommodating guardians, engages in typical teenage angst and grapples with belief in God. For all his focus on traditional family virtues like respect, love and forgiveness, Beck's lightweight parable cruises on predictability, repetition and sentimentality.

2. I think this is one Beck does at his annual "shows" and he

has the whole crowd in tears by the end.

They should be crying because they wasted good money and their time listening to Beck the Crazy.

4. I was going to say that, he does this live. I actually saw a TV ad for his "performance" of this

it was sickening. Of course, they showed him crying at the end.

3. As far as the lying and innuendo...

...he keeps Christmas in his heart year 'round.

6. Moral: the poor people like Eddie should be grateful to get crap

While privileged people like Beck always will get their Huffy bike, and then some.
