A Political Reporter Who Boasts He's Never Seen Glenn Beck's Show...

by tristero

A political reporter who boasts he's never seen Glenn Beck's Show is like a proctologist who boasts he's never seen an asshole.

It's an important part of the job.

1. Very apt comparison.

Though I'd say Beck's show is more of a commentary on American paranoia than any sort of coherent political phenomenon.

'movement'? As was stated, "it defies belief that a political reporter for a major newsmagazine would be so uninformed, unqualified, and incurious."
