Glenn Beck Talks Leftist Revolutionaries, Sarah Palin, and the Fox News Family
Before Imus could finish his sentence about newly-elected Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown ("If a guy will take one naked picture..."), Glenn Beck jumped in.
"There's more," said Beck, host of Fox News's "Glenn Beck" program, who got into trouble recently for saying that there would be "a dead intern" in Brown's future. Claiming it had been "a joke, kind of," Beck said he had merely been commenting on Brown having offered up his daughters to potential suitors.
"In my head I always see a couple of cops, and one of them turns away from the bushes and vomits, and says, 'You shouldn't look,'" Beck said.
Funny, that's exactly the sort of scenario Imus envisions for Beck, Fox's resident psychopath. As if to prove that point, Beck's program tonight will be a one-hour documentary about how the left has glorified Mao Tse-Tung, Che Rivera, and others.
"The progressive movement, around the turn of the century, realized they can't beat the founding fathers, they can't go around the Constitution, it's brilliant," said Beck. "What they had to do was teach us our founding fathers were racist, get people to stop reading the Constitution, and they went and they intentionally changed history."
Beck is tired of the "bull crap" that Hitler was an extension of the right, when one can simply delve into his and Joseph Goebbels' diaries to read their true feelings on Marxism.
"That just sounds like so much fun," said Imus, who really knows how to party.
Sarah Palin, a recent addition to the Fox News family, appeared with Beck last week and contrary to reports, he is not jealous of all the attention surrounding the former Republican Vice Presidential candidate. Though he did set a trap by asking her to name her favorite founding father. Her reply: "All of them."
"Most people would say Benjamin Franklin, probably," said Imus, whose rationale was, "Because of the kite thing." When Beck ridiculed him for this inane response, Imus retorted, "I'm battling cancer. I've got a lot of balls in the air."
Kind of like President Obama, whom Beck thinks is in danger for having ignored the tea party movement, and the ire among Americans at last summer's town hall meetings.
But all Imus could focus on was instigating ill will among the hosts at Fox News, where Hannity drew in 7 million viewers on election night, O'Reilly had 5 million, and Beck garnered 3.5 million, which is an impressive number for his 5 p.m. show.
"I think you guys all hate one another," said Imus. "In fact, I know you do because I hate all of you, and I'm not even competing with you."
Beck denied this outrageous theory, and pointed to his upcoming speaking tour with Bill O'Reilly, which starts tomorrow, as proof to the contrary. Beck will then do a solo tour beginning in March and culminating August 28 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, where he will deliver a speech about restoring honor.
Even Beck admitted, "It's going to be scary,"
