With Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens announcing his retirement today, there's already quite a lot of chatter about who might replace him. So of course, Glenn Beck has weighed in.
"Mark my words, a radical is coming," Beck warned.
If the president is smart, Beck said, he'll find "a gay, handicapped black woman, who's an immigrant."
Though it wasn't entirely clear, Beck was apparently suggesting that picking such a nominee would prevent anyone from critiquing her on her merits for fear of being seen as politically incorrect.
She could be the devil. She could say, 'I hate America. I want to destroy America.' And that way, they'll only be able to say, 'Why do you hate gay, immigrant, black handicapped women. Why do you hate them?'

Wait a minute ... didn't Beck say in a published interview that he's all about entertainment? Then why should anyone give any more weight to what he says than, say, Larry the Cable Guy?
I suggest future references to Beck should be, rather than radio and television talk show host, radio and television entertainer. It's a self-selected title, after all.

This is without a doubt a man that has no shame whatsoever. If dog shit were worth millions, he'd be selling it on his show. "Crazy" just happens to be in right now and he is cashing those paychecks as if there's no tomorrow. Ride that train while it lasts, Beck! Truly a man that has sold his soul to the devil in the name of money. What a slimebag. I usually don't wish ill things on folks, but this guy deserves any and all bad things in life.
