Not that long after his blubbering breakdown, Glenn decided that a clumsy object lesson with a dead fish would be a good idea.
I think Glenn believes he is being funny. I think.
Oh boy...

How did the meeting for this go? Let us visualize....
Glen Beck is in his makeup chair getting his ear hair trimmed. His producer, Stooge 1, is leaning against the counter with an intent expression. (He may be trying to hold in a fart.)
GB: "I have an idea. I'll wrap up a fish in the NY Times."
Stooge1: "Huh?"
GB: "It will help explain the why the deficit is the real issue of the day."
Stooge1: "Huh?"
GB: "Shut up. It'll be funny."
Stooge1:"Sounds good Amigo."
GB:"This is cutting edge stuff. Get me that fish. I'm going to call him Larry too. Get it. Larry! Fish don't have names. That's the joke see."
Stooge1:"There was A Fish Called Wanda."
GB:"Damn it! Stay focused here. Get on board. Go big or go home."
Stooge1:"On board. Big time."
GB - getting out of chair, admiring tan, practices smirk in the mirror. "Good. Larry King can kiss my ass. Let's do this."
He had a point and I was following it (as bad as his jokes were) but did Glenn go on to say why printing money and monetizing our debt is bad. "Pretty soon I won't be able to avoid it." And that's bad because, glenn....
(Tim help me out here)
I'm sorry, but he is not losing it. He would first have to have it in order to lose it. You can't lose your grasp if you don't have one to start with.
Best line:
"This is the dumbest damn show on the air..."..
Agreed.
I didn't really follow his point. Yes we have a debt and it's expanding.
1. Why is this any more pertinent now than anytime in the past several years?
2. What's it got to do with fish?
Maybe his point was that you can't wrap fish with online newspapers. I'm in agreeance with him there.
E's reenactment of the production meeting before this bit was priceless.
Somebody had to think this was a dumb idea, no?
Johnny you are a far right liberal who laughed when Barry compared his bowling game to something out of the Special Olympics, who nodded in agreement when Nancy Pelosi said it was un-American to enforce immigration laws, who looked down at his shoes and said yes I am a coward when Eric Holder called us a nation of cowards. You would be able to sit through a Jememiah Wright sermon and follow up with an amen.
Your liberal ass and the rest of the liberal media are so worried about showing how cute it was that Barry made a basketball bracket that you are blinded as he pisses away our constitution and digs a horendous trench of debt.
You don't see, smell, or understand the stinking fish because you don't want to, and when you finally do, you'll feel like a Sonics fan who never thought there would be a sell out.
Love Dave.
It's a fine line when it comes to entertaining Dave and pissing him off.
A sticky wicket to be sure.
To comment on Dave:
Liberal, conservative, it doesn't matter. For all the right wingers who use the phrase "pisses away our constitution" .. did you forget the Patriot Act? Did you forget that holding people without trial violates what our principles are? And before you start with the "but they aren't U.S. Citizens" argument do you even remember who grants us those rights in the first place? They are bestowed by a power higher than man. You want to say the Unites States was founded upon Christian ideals, but you don't want to recognize that your God grants these elementary freedoms to everyone - regardless of citizenship.
I watched with hope when G.W. was running and he pissed away his chance. Barack talked a good game and as of yet hasn't delivered. I'm getting pretty sick of it all.
Come to grips, this guy was elected, the majority spoke, give him his chance. Question his motives and debate the possible outcome, but realize that (for now at least) this is the dude that America has chosen. He is our President, not just the liberals, and failure to recognize this ranges from disturbing to frightening.
We have some tough time ahead of us, that's for sure. But NOBODY knows what to do. If we had followed Bush's plan and put all of the Social Security assets into the stock market, that would have worked well, huh? Bush was a big spender, too, and we had to follow some of his plans for better or worse.
So continue the debate, and hang onto your hats, but recognize that he is your guy, too, just like W was ours in his time. Our nation is great enough to persevere a few mistakes, we have doe it before and will do it again. We will emerge form this crisis (sorry Dave, does that word upset you as much as it does Hannity?) stronger than when we went in.
Maybe Glenn will let you borrow his blue glove to keep from sticking to the wicket.
Was the Larry thing a reference to Larry King you think?
One hopes, Jeff. One hopes.
As soon as Barry Soetoro released his birth certificate and proves his citizenship, he will be my president. Until then, my president is the leader of the Republican party... Rush Limbaugh.
Screw you Will and your momma.
Just Kidding Will, with that last comment.
Gee Dave, looks like you are inept and cannot use a search engine. The birth certificate was posted at dozens of places.
But a swell comeback to Will's crafty rebuttal of your initial foray. So classy.
Please feel free to spew more idiocy. Your conservative viewpoints are sinking your political movement into the subterranean level, where it belongs.
