If you want to know who attended Glenn Beck's " Restoring Honor" Rally at the Lincoln Memorial last week-end, have a look at the video below. It is a series of interviews that will just blow your mind ( and you won't believe the fashion statements either)
What a mad melange of racism and xenophobia, not to mention ignorance. These folks know how to parrot what they are told but not how to think for themselves. Clearly the inmates are running the asylum. Glenn Beck may be restoring something to America, but it is certainly not honor.
God help Glenn Beck and God help America is all I can say
If President Obama ever wants to make a career change, he has a great future ahead of him as a stand up comedian. He wowed em in Washington at the annual White House Correspondents Association dinner last night. Thank you MSNBC for broadcasting the whole thing live. I had a ball.
The prez was a hoot, throwing out zingers and one liners like a Las Vegas pro. His timing was perfect. My favorite line was about Dick Cheney's memoirs being tentatively titled " How to Shoot Friends and Interrogate People. " I also loved the part about Rahm Emanuel having a hard time with Mothers Day because " he isn't used to saying the word day after the word mother". Is that clever, sophisticated material or what?
President Obama was polished, pointed and funny, but never stepped over the line into slapstick or bad taste. He even managed to make fun of himself with grace and style. What a guy!
It says something about the state of the media that the New York Times, for the third year in a row, refused to attend the event out of journalistic scrupulousness, while the twitterati were live blogging every real-time detail from their iphones(#nerdprom).
For those of you who didn't catch President Obama's comic debut last night, here's the video from Youtube-- all nine and a half minutes of it. Enjoy!
