Glenn Beck Wins Marconi Award

Beck Wins Marconi Award
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/cnn/beck_wins_marconi_award_95056.asp
Beck tells TVNewser: "This truly is a lifelong dream that doesn't quite seem real yet. I still think that they've made a mistake or someone has blackmailed them — maybe both.



I agree. Both.

3. So what, Marconi was a jerk too.
Tesla was the man! Marconi was a schmuck who tried to claim Tesla's inventions as his own. Jerk awards for jerks.

8. Marconi was the Bill Gates of his day ...

Marconi was the Bill Gates of his day. He popularized a technology and made a business out of it. The wizard who invented the product, went into poverty.

This isn't saying that Marconi was a bad person. He just wasn't a wizard.

6. I expect some bribery was involved by some rich right wingers
Impossible for such an insane creep to win on the "merits" of his programs, journalistic or moral

16. That award is worthless. Howard Stern has never been awarded one, and he's responsible for
an army of imitators on the radio, millions of listeners, and billions in revenue.
