THE IDIOT BOX

Sharpton to Get the Sharpton Treatment from Beck


FACE OFF Sharpton, Beck (inset)Is Al Sharpton about to get a taste of his own coercive medicine? The irreverent reverend is slated to be a guest on Glenn Beck's CNN Headline News program tonight to discuss the controversy surrounding a recent remark he made about Mormon presidential candidate Mitt Romney. On the air last night, Beck, a Mormon, said he would "ask about those comments about Mitt Romney and the entire Mormon faith." ...

1. As inspired by Becko's question of Keith Ellison, I'd like to see

Sharpton ask him to prove he's not a polygamist (bonus points for using the smae whiny weenie voice Beck used to ask the question).:evilgrin:

2. Memo to CNN - Nobody is watching Beck

nobody is going to watch this show.

5. "Glenn Beck has become as cool as the other side of the pillow."

I don't keep up with Corporate Media ratings, but enjoyed this piece:

CNN's rodeo clown
by Eric Boehlert

""I'm a rodeo clown who happens to have a radio and TV show," Beck recently announced. Beck uses the rodeo clown shtick relentlessly (it's listed under "occupation" on his MySpace page), as he works overtime to assure viewers he's an undereducated, unsung hero with no journalism background. He's just an Average Joe who, by the way, produces 60-minute, prime-time news specials for CNN.

In truth, rodeo clowns are distracters. They bring attention to themselves by causing loud, outlandish scenes so that dismounted bull riders can reach safety. So in that regard, yes, Beck is a rodeo clown; a professional distracter."

6. What is it with republicans always wanting to downgrade their abilities

"I'm an undereducated rodeo clown." - Beck
Fine, I don't want to hear your opinions on topics that are obviously too difficult for you to comprehend. I'll listen to Al Gore on global warming, thanks.

"When I'm president you won't have to worry about how smart I am because I'll surround myself with smart people." - Bush
Uh, no, because you're admitting you're stupid means that you're going to make bad choices on what people to choose. I'll vote for Gore.

"The internet is not a truck... it's a bunch of tubes!" - Alaska Senator Stevens
And you were, until recently, the dumbass in charge of a technology committee. I'll go to Gore for internet issues. He invented it you know.

3. The irony is delicious.

These bigots are all mad at Sharpton, because they misinterpreted what he was saying into the kind of things they usually say.

4. Beck is a mormon? That explains a lot...

Hey I stuck my face in a top-hat and Jayzus talked to me! Can I start my own "religion" now too?

7. Ask Beck why he's so anal retentive.... Never mind he's a rethuglican.

And that explains everything.

Hatemonger radio likes to create a tempest in a teapot. This is all so underwhelming.
