1. But Glenn YOU called Michelle Obama uppity and snotty....

...after Imus asked you about Rush Limbaugh's "uppity" insult to Mrs. Obama.

Your pal Rush constantly refers to her as “Moochelle” and Michelle “My Belle” Obama.

He played “I Like Big Butts” for a fake introduction of “MOOchelle” Obama. Saying the only difference between the use of the insulting songs for Bachmann and her is one not true and one is. The big butt song shows “MOOchelle” is a woman of substance.

He said she has a "Self-Centered, Arrogant, Controlling Character Disorder" and "Grandiose, Dictatorial Urges”

He called her a hypocrite for promoting her healthy eating program, because “Our First Lady does not project the image of women that you might see on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue or of a woman Alex Rodriguez might date every six months or what have you.”

He said Obama’s limousine weighs 8 tons – without Michelle in it.

HYPOCRITES.

2. I think it was crass too. n/t

[Chipper Chat]

3. Why give the rightwing loonies catnip?

Jimmy...you shouldn't-a. Very low class.

[Enthusiast]

5. I wish I had not watched that.

Hearing Glenn Beck is so distasteful to me. His words are filth in my ears.

8. Thanks for the warning, I was wondering if it would be worth it.

[dballance]

6. So Glenn, where's your rage about NASCAR booing the First Lady?

[The Wizard]

7. Beckkk is no longer viable

His audience has no money to buy anything he sells and it could fit in a small garage. This is the most exposure he's had since being fired.

9. I agree it was wrong....but Beck made a comment as well

about, um, let me see, ... "basic human decency"...and it reminded me of a no-good, shameless, heartless SOB that made fun of a family whose house burned down. We should tell Beck about that awful, lowlife, poor excuse for a human being....

10. they shouldn't have played that song but Glenn Beck has no

credibility on this issue because he does that kind of stuff all the time. Actually he has no credibility on anything and is a complete ass.
