1. I picture Glen Beck sitting at the end of the bar in a semi-dark lounge
Edited on Tue Mar-31-09 11:01 AM by Gman
around 2 in the afternoon, crying and spouting this shit at the bartender because no one else is there and ordering his 8th double JD on the rocks. He's been there since 10 a.m.

"Somebody get this blubbering buffoon a box of Kleenex!" LOL! :rofl:

2. Can Scarborough blow Glen Beck enough?
Edited on Tue Mar-31-09 11:04 AM by go west young man
He keeps saying he's a great guy. Of course Joe wouldn't know a great guy if met one as he is pretty much a douche himself. Glenn Beck is a twisted freak and the lame Morning Joe show is at least a month behind the curve on Becks insane ramblings. It looks like they are taking their cues from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. The irony is that they are charlatan plagiarists mocking Beck the charlatan. Sad days for the US psyche if this is what passes for entertainment/news. It's crap infotainment at its worst.

And THIS is news, too?

5. Why can't people detect there's something wrong with Beck?
Edited on Tue Mar-31-09 11:15 AM by StClone
Look around and the most self-absorbed, megalomaniac, egotists are the big name draws: Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity and the likes of Reilly. Why are people so drawn to the patently wrong? Are there any studies on why people are drawn to these not-so-healthful people?

8. The thing is...
...dysfunctional people are attracted to other dysfunctional people because they
validate their own dysfunction.

It's highly dysfunctional.

6. Shmoe said he was laughing
At an e-mail he just got not at Beck. And Colbert already did make fun of Beck.

7. Joe Scarborough...what an idiot!!
He was clearly laughing at Beck. Clearly.

Then, he sobered up and realized that his natural reaction to Beck's buffoonery---was against a fellow conservative.

Joey straightened up and proceeded to praise Beck. Email, my ass.

Joe Scarborough is such a creep.

13. Joe is hysterical! This Glenn Beck is a real winner but he somehow
has a following including my mom who thinks "he is amazing". I was just reading his "poetry" on Salon this morning. Where do they find these people? Do all republicans fall for this fake stuff?

14. Beck's gotta be just a smidgen away
from asking his "faithful" to send in donations.

Yes, I'm sad to say I know folks that lap this shit up! I know them - but I don't call them "friend".

15. yikes... true - if he did this display of his again - and then asked for money to help him save the
USA by putting together a pro-America task force and actually presented his babblings with some 'here's what I'm gonna do to save this country' baloney lines, I guarantee he'd get a million bucks that night....

16. Best Quote "He loves his country, what can you do?"
or perhaps, "People tuning in because it's like stopping to look at a car wreck".

In days of yore, Psychoanlaysts would descend upon people like Glenn Beck and by treating him, send their kids to College. Glenn Beck is the mainstream media's way of sending a message to America that it's ok to be driven by fear and emotion, which is exactly what the Republican base is all about.

Just imagine if Glenn Beck actually behaved like this in the Back Office when he's preparing for his daily broadcast. The guy would be very difficult to work with.

No, it's all crocodile tears to connect with the 80 milllion or so americans that are whacked out on Zoloft, Prozac, or any of a multitude of the psychtropic drugs that are handed out like candy to healthy people that has come to the conclusion that their life has no real meaning, and are suffering from it.

It's probably a combination of messages for Political motivation, as well as Pharmaceutical corporation benefit. My guess is that Beck will announce shortly that he can only function with the ongoing treatment of some antidepressant, thus selling america on pickling their brains some more.

The sad thing about Solft and Prozac is that they are lifetime prescriptions. One cannot stop using them cold Turkey without serious side effects, and some of the people that have described it pait a pretty grim picture. Check out the film, "Selling Sickness" if you want more depth.

17. OK, my stomach hurts from laughing my ass off.
Beck is a fucking psychopath - if he has a huge audience, then we have a lot of psychotic rednecks in this country.

Enough to destroy it, I'm afraid.

19. It's time for another Mika moment
This time she takes the Morning Joe copy, tries to burn it and, failing that, puts it through the shredder.

20. Why are his ratings up?
His appeal has to be to other psychotic lunatics. Gas Can meet Mr. Match.

21. There must be a percentage who just watch to see his idiotic antics.
Maybe he has "village idiot" appeal.

23. The Daily Beast also has footage of Beck making noises
and crazy faces, talking like Kermit the Frog, and some special footage of his socialism rants. His show is apparently an unending train wreck.

24. This would be funnier if Morning Joe wasn't spewing the same ideological crap that Beck is.
Only they are slicker about it. I surfed in to them a couple of days ago and they were blaming FDR not only for the depression but for Fascism and WW II.
