Wow, that is terrible. I've never watched his crap before and while the spelling mistake is bad, the whole thing was just pathetic. A rich white dude saying that he is tired of being the victim?

He really might be the dumbest person in public life right now.

I once heard him call the Nazi Party "Communist" because they're the National Socialist etc. etc. Party.

He's really gone off the deep end in the past year, like when he did a whole episode with the camera angle only showing a creepy close up of his eyes. Or when he had some former CIA official on who believed that America's only hope for recovery was Bin Laden setting off a nuclear bomb inside the US. Beck sat there and nodded his head in agreement.
Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are nasty individuals, but I don't think they're crazy. Many of their viewers and listeners are nuts, but I can't seem them personaly doing anything beyond ranting and raving behind a microphone or in front of a camera. Beck, on the other hand, is certifiably insane. I could easily picture him going out and shooting a bunch of people because they looked at him the wrong way.
You're the conductor Ruben. Time to blow the whistle!

did anyone see Colbert's sendup of his program and some terror scenario segment he did? I seriously haven't laughed so hard at anything in my life not named keyboard cat.

Hadn't heard about this:

The Washington Post digs up a master's thesis written by Virginia gubernatorial candidate Robert McDonnell (R) in which he described working women and feminists as "detrimental" to the family.

McDonnell also said government policy should favor married couples over "cohabitators, homosexuals or fornicators." And he described as "illogical" a 1972 Supreme Court decision legalizing the use of contraception by unmarried couples.

"The 93-page document, which is publicly available at the Regent University library, culminates with a 15-point action plan that McDonnell said the Republican Party should follow to protect American families -- a vision that he started to put into action soon after he was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates."


It being Regent, I guess it could be said he was simply grade-grubbing. Still, though, yikes.

I do love that the school was then known as "CBN University."

Just guessing, but on a University of Phoenix/Stanford U scale of academic quality, this alma mater of McDonnell's sounds like it might rank somewhere in the immediate vicinity of the former (although I may be unfairly besmirching U of P).

NB two alums besides McDonnell: "Troy A. Titus, Regent Law graduate, son of the founding dean of the school, Herb Titus, and previously a nationally known asset protection expert, is best known for losing his law license for defrauding his clients, many of them elderly" - and Tony Hale.

Yea, that's right - this guy:

Yeah, I read somewhere that Tony Hale was an evangelical, but supposed a cool one. Whatever that means. I guess at the least it didn't bother him to play the near-idiot child of (what I gather were, based on name and George Senior's "Caged Wisdom" offerings) lapsed Jews.

Dear god I love that show. There's an hour of it every weeknight at midnight on G4; since finding this out, the only night I skipped it was the one before I had to get up at 5.30am. It kills my sleep, but for some reason it puts me in such a good mood that it almost feels necessary.

My son has saved our family the challenge of watching/recording AD episodes from the teevee by acquiring the DVDs for the series. They are in regular & heavy rotation here.

One element of Buster's backstory was his peripatetic pursuit of "education" through attendance at a wide variety of of dubious instructional enterprises. So Regent fits right in (perhaps Hale drew on his experience for that element of his character's past?).

I found it interesting that Japan requested youtube to remove the video prior to the election. It felt it gave the candidate an "unfair advantage" that his video could be viewed on youtube and others could not.

I wish they had identified the baseball fan as well.
