Glenn Beck inserts foot into mouth-again.
He was trying to show how reversing the Bush tax cuts would devastate the middle class,but even this Bushie couldn't back him up.


BECK: Tell me who these people are. Tell me how this affects somebody who makes $60,000 a year.

SHLAES: Well, it affects -- some of the things will affect those people, but most of them will affect higher earners. And we should all care about that, no matter how we feel about them, because they are the ones who create the jobs.

1. They're the ones who exported the jobs
more like. Neither one of them are right, in the end.

2. Why wasn't he fired for that sexually inappropriate comment
he made on the air to that woman??

He is such a disgrace.

3. I, too, worry about the wealthy. What if they're not constantly getting EVEN RICHER?
How can we sleep at night, with these poor suffering millionaires on our minds?

6. Maybe we could slowly roast them over an open fire.
That will tenderize them.

8. Good idea.
I was thinking cube steaks, but a proper Texas barbecue treatment would work even better.

5. The Rich Do Not Create Jobs. Consumers Do.
When you buy something, you create jobs, and you don't have to be rich to buy something. In fact, by definition the majority of consumers are not poor, rather they're middle, working, and the poor class.

10. Glenn Beck admitted to being crazy long ago. Why anyone gave
him a show, I can't figure out. He is loved on the radio. I think he is a watered down version of Rush Limpballs. If that is possible.

14. well, he got a show becasue, as you said, he's a watered down Limbaugh. And,
well, he is a white conservative Republican male who claims he is a fair-minded moderate.

12. Relax, it's his job
Edited on Fri Mar-30-07 10:29 PM by Canuckistanian
CNN doesn't hire people for their intellectual prowess.

Their employees are like Charlie the Starkist Tuna.

They hire people that "taste good", not "have good taste".

For younger DUers:

13. Let's face it. The only time Glenn Beck opens his mouth,
it's just to trade feet.
