I appear to disagree good sir!

The man is a goddamn poet, surely he could have made a big deal out of refusing it in an honorable, nay noble manner. Shit he should hire me as a pr guy, i'd be awesome.
he even said he doesnt see himself as one of the greats who got one in the past.
as far as humble goes, thats pretty high up. refusing it would make him either admit failure or arrogant. or both.

Up until around 12:00 anyway. He spends over 10 minutes pointing out what a sloppy news organization CNN is. It's great.

Those statistics are almost unbelievable and very unfortunate. If we're doing something to cause that, we should definitely stop.

But to say we're breaking laws/treaties/conventions by using DU and WP isn't actually true right? From what I'm reading both weapons have not yet been banned.

More of the Obama Derangement Syndrome from Beck

I can't decide if he really is batshit crazy, or if he is like the Larry The Cable Guy of tv anchors, who dabbled in various sappy schticks for years without getting anywhere, until he finally stumbled on the one character he's capable of pulling off and the one audience he's capable of entertaining. It's like a perfect storm of lowest common denominators.

Glenn Beck is a Mormon. So I'd guess that means he's always been as batshit crazy as you see him today.

His televised crying spells are as fake as John Boehner's...and they're probably scheduled days in advance.

he did pave the way for peace in the middle east and near asia you know.
Yes of course he did.

Oh...and Sean Hannity - just the other day - actually said he thinks Bush should get Obama's Peace prize.

Fox News: Think of the most crazy thing you can come up with, and we'll probably already have done it (or will do very soon)

I wonder if he realizes that they are advertising on Fox...
