Let's admit that despite all the media hype, there is one thing that George Bush did not destroy when he left office: comedy. If anything, Republicans out of power are even funnier than Republicans in power...
I'd like to go back to the beginning of the year and remind everyone that when Barack Obama, an actual college professor, replaced George Bush, an actual chimp--commentators announced that comedians would be out of a job.
Well, they were wrong. Everyone is out of a job.
So, yes, Bush was a sweet target. But, it turns out there were plenty of ridiculous Republicans behind him that we just couldn't see. His stupid "star doth shone too brightly."
To wit, the year began with Obama's State of the Union speech, rebutted by teenage governor Bobby Jindal. Who was the great hope of the party. But, when Americans saw him that fateful night, their thought wasn't "A new leader for a new time," it was "Good God, Mad magazine has outsourced Alfred E. Newman."
Now, after Jindal flamed out, the Republicans still needed a fresh new face. So they got Dick Cheney. Who, for a while, popped up on TV more often than the GEICO lizard to demand he be given proper credit for torture. Not that I'm comparing Cheney to the GEICO lizard. One's a cold-blooded reptile and the other is the GEICO lizard.
Now, after Cheney came that exciting new group of Obama critics known as "the birthers." Or as they used to be called, "the Klan."
And after them came Governor Mark Sanford. All over Argentina. Yes, this is truly a bizarre year for Republicans. Their sex scandals were with women.
Well, soon it was tax time, and the "teabaggers" filled the streets, purple with rage that their taxes under Obama had STAYED EXACTLY THE SAME OR GONE DOWN!!!
Yes, the "teabaggers," who started a movement and in the process sullied the name of a perfectly good gay sex act--that's right, when the year started, "teabagging" was a phrase that referred to dangling one's testicles in someone else's face. And they managed to turn it into something gross and ridiculous.
This is also the year that conservatives taught us that there's only one kind of racism left in America, and that's reverse racism. It was inspiring to see white men finally stand up to the oppressive, rigged system that has forced them to live in a hopeless cycle of wealth and opportunity.
And, speaking of opportunity, have you heard this broad? [Michelle Bachman]? The floor of a cave called. It wants its bat shit back.
And, speaking of bat shit, to reiterate my theme, if Obama hadn't been elected, would we have ever seen Glenn Beck cry on TV? On a park bench while masturbating, sure, but not on TV. And was there any better TV than watching this weepy, wonderful special-needs cousin of Rush Limbaugh? Angry one moment, then frightened, scolding, sobbing. We loved him because we've all known someone just like him. Usually an ex-girlfriend.

lighten up. It is a play on the old Russioan czars. He is mocking Obama and his many czars. GB is the Book czar.
the fact that she is using facebook to talk abotu policy is silly- this is the same place where people take quizzes about their favorite drink and sexual postion. also Glen beck has NEVER served in any branch of the military so he has nNO right to put on any uniform that resembles the military- it is a slap in the face of all those who do actually serve. hr took it to far with this one.. I am sorry but he looks like a moron and basically spit in the faces of those that do wear a uniform...
I don't think Palin is dumb. I think she is delusional. So is Beck. So is Ann Coulter. And if there messages resonate with you, then you are delusional as well. Delusional and ignorant! But not dumb!
I have the book, it is really good. FnG, you should prabably avoid the book, you are one of the guys that GB is argueing with.
Arguing with Idiots is the name of the book. and that is not a neo-nazi uniform, it is the uniform of the Book Czar, it is a great book. I also love seeing the sexism in Arch's argument of a former governor. Calling a woman dumb is pretty sexist. I also still do not see how some dumb woman with a facebook page can singlehandedly change the debate in this country. I also fail to see how you put social conservatism in some bad light, I believe it is the most sincere form of constitutionality to protect life at conception and make sure the equality starts there
Pretty damn funny. I was Christmas shopping the other day and saw a book by Glenn Beck featuring him wearing some sort of neo-nazi uniform. I can't remember the name of the book, but for a second I was actually thinking about buying it (until I saw the price).
Glenn Beck is the 21st Century equivalent to Joe McCarthy! Sarah Palin is one of those students from Jay Leno's Jay-walking episodes!.....As for Bill Mahr? I take exception to his militantly anti-Christian views, and the fact that he talks down American exceptionalism, but his libertarian views regarding the Constitution are spot on, in my opinion. The Libertarians are right on a lot of things! In fact, Glenn Beck and Bill Mahr claim to be libertarians; although it is obvious they slant in opposite directions.....I take the stance that huge governments mingling with corporations are just as unconstitutional as many of the ideologies of the social conservative movement. I think both sides want to have their cake and eat it, too; and that is why we keep getting into these messes.....Just my 2c.
ugh Bill Maher again.....Imagine I though you left??? People hate Beck just like they hate Palin and other conservatives- they represent a change and they represent what is still wholesome and good in America. Two people that love America like people should...Heck Van Jones will still be walking around the Whilte House now...I am sure DK08 would be ok with that because he is a socialist- but most americans are not ok with it. Keep whipping them Beck and Palin!!!
I will stand corrected on that point in reference to you dk. I will however stand by the remainder.
FYI Smashey: I can't stand Obama!
Whats truly funny is all the ultra libs who have no substance behind them so they constantly invoke the ghost of Bush and blame the failure of their beloved Obama on TV personalities. It would behoove them to get a real argument but of course that would be too difficult and involve work.
Glenn Beck is a fascist ,so is Hannity,O'Riely and all the other Fox Noise morons.
The fascists are terrified of Beck because so far, he has always been right. He is exposing the truth about the Nazis and Fascists in the Democratic party. That it is not about helping people, but raw power.
glenn beck is funny. people actually take him serously. that's what's so funny.
He has never had an original thought! He loggs on to The Huffington Post every morning to see what he thinks! He is a douche bag just like his alter ego Chronic!
Wow another copy and paste job nice job comrad way not stress your mind with orginal thought here. lmfao.
Again, just like a brainless lIberal dumb ass to NOT BE ABLE TO POST SOMETHING OF HIS OWN!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you forget to log in under the chronic profile this morning? LOL.
