Beck rips Brown for 'available' comment

Quote:
Scott Brown hasn't even made it to Washington yet, but he's already getting some heat from one of the leading voices on the right. But in this case, it's not related to his political views.

Glenn Beck, on his radio show Wednesday, spent several minutes ripping Brown for telling a national television audience during last night's acceptance speech that his two daughters were "available."

Having daughters of his own, Beck seemed bothered that Brown would make that statement (and then continue on the subject). And after poking fun at the senator-elect for appearing naked in Cosmo back in 1982, the TV and radio star unloaded.

"I want a chastity belt on this man," Beck said. "I want his every move watched in Washington. I don't trust this guy. I'm just telling you."

"This one could end with a dead intern," Beck said, laughing.

When one of Beck's cohorts said that Brown may have been "overexcited," the host interjected, "I don't ever ever want you to say 'he's a little overexcited.'"

"Congratulations, now let's monitor him," Beck said. "Let's put an ankle bracelet on him."

Beck was short of something to say and so he threw some crap against the wall and walked away, not caring if it stuck or not.

Casting those kinds of aspersions was a cheap shot and undeserved but Beck can get away with it cause he's Glenn Beck.

While it sounds like Beck made a poor attempt at humor, as most live announcers will from time to time, he does make one very good point.

In a Republic, elected officials should never be trusted any more than necessary. Also, top tier political heroes should be people who are safely dead, preferably for at least a generation.

Did any of you actually listen to the show and Glen's comments? I did. He was joking in a long segment about Brown's attept at homur and how Glen's wife would have dismembered him. They also made fun of the fact that Pat gray was show the mostly nude photo of Brown.

You kids are as bad as fourteen year old girls on the internet. I am surprised the story was not pulled from MM, Spence.

I don't find eveything Beck does funny and at times, on tv, he makes me uncomfortable. That being said, he is doing more to expose the threat the "progressive" ideas being pushed not only by this administration but also by prior action and prior presidents.

So get over it. Oh by the way did Politico report what a hack Madow and O'donnel are? I'm guessing not.

From the linked article:

Quote:
UPDATE: Radio host and author Mark Levin responds: "If smearing Brown was a joke, I don't think it was very funny. It's very weird."
Mark Levin's sentiments are closer to my sensibilities than Beck's are.

I dunno...to me it sounded like Beck was not joking,he sounded like he was truly concerned with Brown's comments.

That's my take on it, too.
