http://www.theroot.com/articles/politics/2010/06/glenn_beck_apologizes_for_making_fun_of_malia_obama.html?wpisrc=obinsiteDoes Glenn Beck have any shame? He'd like for us to think he does because the conservative host quickly apologized for making fun of President Barack Obama's 11-year-old daughter Malia on his radio show last week. For about four minutes, Beck and co-host Pat Gray pretended to be the president and his daughter. Speaking in a little-girl voice, Beck played Malia while Gray was Obama.
They imagined President Obama's conversation with his daughter after he told reporters during a press conference that Malia had asked him if he had stopped the oil leak. (Transcript courtesy of Mediaite.)
GLENN BECK: (imitating Malia): Daddy? Daddy? Daddy, did you plug the hole yet? Daddy?
PAT GRAY: (co-host) (imitating Obama): No I didn't, honey.
BECK: (imitating Malia): Daddy, I know you're better than [unintelligible]
GRAY: (imitating Obama): Mm-hmm, big country.
BECK: (imitating Malia): And I was wondering if you've plugged that hole yet.
GRAY: (imitating Obama): Honey, not yet.
BECK: (imitating Malia): Why not, daddy? But daddy--
GRAY: (imitating Obama): Not time yet, honey. Hasn't done enough damage.
Beck has just suggested that the president can benefit politically by letting the oil continue to escape--or worse, may be holding back a solution for cynical purposes. That is quite an indictment, but there's more.A few seconds later, Beck switches topics.
BECK: (imitating Malia) Why do you hate black people so much?
GRAY: (imitating Obama) I'm part white, honey.
BECK: (imitating Malia) What?
GRAY: (imitating Obama) What?
