Griper Blade: Glenn Beck's Still an Ass

OK, I'm not really a big fan of CNN's Glenn Beck. The main reason for this is that Beck's a first rate horse's ass. I've written about how he's made fun of the blind and muslims' names. On global warming, he dealt with rising sea levels by showing a picture of Shanghai under water and saying, "This is what would happen to Shanghai. Does anybody really care? I mean, come on. Shanghai is under water. Oh, no! Who's gonna make those little umbrellas for those tropical drinks?"

Hilarious, huh? Shanghai has a population of over nine million people -- in Beck's mind (such as it is), this is an insignificant number. It's all about those little umbrellas. In fact, Beck's such a dick that one of the top search queries bringing people to my blog is glenn beck asshole.

So it's with feigned surprise that I bring you the latest bit of Glenn Beck assholery.

Media Matters transcript from Beck's Nov. 14 show (emphasis mine):

BECK: History was made last Tuesday when Democrat Keith Ellison got elected to Congress, representing the great state of Minnesota. Well, not really unusual that Minnesota would elect a Democrat. What is noteworthy is that Keith is the first Muslim in history to be elected to the House of Representatives. He joins us now.

Congratulations, sir.

ELLISON: How you doing, Glenn? Glad to be here.

BECK: Thank you. I will tell you, may I -- may we have five minutes here where we're just politically incorrect and I play the cards face up on the table?

ELLISON: Go there.

BECK: OK. No offense, and I know Muslims. I like Muslims. I've been to mosques. I really don't believe that Islam is a religion of evil. I -- you know, I think it's being hijacked, quite frankly.

With that being said, you are a Democrat. You are saying, "Let's cut and run." And I have to tell you, I have been nervous about this interview with you, because what I feel like saying is, "Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies."

Glenn, how about you prove to everyone you've got a functional brain? I'm guessing you'd need some help with that one...
