YOU were the star
Glenn reads part of the amazing (and true) Wall Street Journal article that proclaims the man with the microphone may have been the craziest person out of the 500,000 in attendance. Quite an impressive feat to have that many people in one place and have zero incidents. Glenn has the story on radio today. Ref. Source 1
Alexander Zaitchik on "Common Nonsense: Glenn Beck and the Triumph of Ignorance"
Glenn Beck organized a much-publicized "Restoring Honor" rally on Saturday in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. Beck's fans reportedly number in the millions, and Saturday's rally drew nearly 100,000 supporters. We speak with Alexander Zaitchik, author of Common Nonsense: Glenn Beck and the Triumph of Ignorance. Ref. Source 9
Glenn's sex tape scandal?
Globe, one of those tabloids who will post anything, has Glenn on the front page with the headline "Glenn Beck Sex Tape Scandal and the mystery woman behind it." First of all, any good tabloid would know that Glenn Beck sex tape is NOT the way to sell magazines. But who is the woman behind the alleged scandal? Michelle Obama. Gotta love tabloids. Glenn has more on the 'story' on radio today. Ref. Source 8
Positive stories about Glenn?
That's kind of a curve ball coming from the media - of course, 'positive' is a relative term in this instance. Glenn considers anything not including a 'Glenn Beck sex tape' mention as positive at this point. So the standards are very low, but Glenn read a couple of stories that he actually read in their entirety before vomiting. Ref. Source 2

Some underling will get cut for the obvious screwup on the website that linked itself to the Communist Party and we wont hear a word about it.
Beck is in the proper place...right in the spotlight. Stay there and there is little that they can do to him with out looking really bad. They will also come up with some flimsy excuse for the Communist Party Sponsorship.
The really scary part is that while I am not shocked by this seeing our socialist bent of the last nearly 2 years but that they are so grossly incompetent in not trying to cover it up any at all. The way that they took the nomination away from Hillary, I am shocked that the actual running of the government has looked like amateur hour (with the exception of the ram rodding of healthcare - that was political hardball).

Is the WH copying Glenn's chalkboard?
The White House is touting an entirely new, original idea: The White House White Board. Hmmm, are there any notable media figures already using a chalkboard to illustrate points? In their first episode, new economic genius Austan Goolsbee tries to explain why the Obama tax hikes are necessary. Ref. Source 2
Is Glenn being poisoned?
Pat & Stu covered for Glenn today as he is undergoing a series of health tests to hopefully discover what's going on. One conspiracy site thinks they have it all figured out - what do they say is killing Glenn limb by limb? Ref. Source 1
