Meghan McCain gets naked, Glenn vomits – Glenn Beck

Is there anyone here who thinks this isn't wildly inappropriate? You can google the named players if you want the lowdown without having to watch the video.

Note, I'm not asking if it's funny.

turtle777 · May 15, 2011, 01:54 AM

It's not funny, i's retarded. Glenn's behaving like a f*cking idiot.

It has a certain technical proficiency, and I've made jokes which were vastly more off-color, but I wouldn't say a public square is the right venue for them.

That he thinks it is, is what I have a problem with.

Big Mac · May 15, 2011, 03:49 AM

Big deal. I don't know why he made that joke given that Meghan McCain is HOT, but this is non-news.

subego · May 15, 2011, 06:08 AM

Is that a vote for "appropriate"?

OldManMac · May 15, 2011, 10:00 AM

In order to stay classy, he would have had to have been classy at one point. Beck is an excellent example of one who knows how to manipulate sheep, and stoke fear and irrationality.

Dork. · May 15, 2011, 10:48 AM

I think its perfectly appropriate behavior for a bunch of middle school students. (High School students are too mature for this.)

Wiskedjak · May 15, 2011, 12:10 PM

I dunno what you guys are going on about. This seems like perfectly normal behavior for Glenn Beck.

Even when she's plus sized.

That's sad, but hard to argue with.

subego · May 15, 2011, 05:56 PM

I don't really like Glenn, so I'm not familiar with his entire oeuvre, but I don't recall him ever coming close to a three-minute body image attack on someone for doing a cancer PSA.

Bhaahahahahaha.

Sure he is. Man, he's got nothing on NPR, NYT and MSNBC. He's an amateur.

OT: It was just morning zoo crap, that's all. And it was HILARIOUS when it was happening. I think he did it to show how REACTIONARY is FUNNY to the point of STOOPID.

I found nothing wrong with it.

I rest my case.

subego · May 15, 2011, 06:34 PM

Hmmm... not sure if a vomit gag is the best place for subtle commentary on being reactionary.

besson3c · May 15, 2011, 06:38 PM

Has Beck ever been asked about running for president?

hyteckit · May 15, 2011, 08:49 PM

Glenn Beck is sophomoric.

Nothing new here.

Of course he has.

Man, an election season with Palin, Bachmann, Trump, and Beck all going at each other would be hella entertaining, esp. with Ron Paul chirping in from the sidelines

subego · May 15, 2011, 10:12 PM

Now that's something appropriate to vomit over.

Shaddim · May 16, 2011, 07:35 AM

"HOT?" No. More like, "moderately attractive and in need of a treadmill".

The Final Dakar · May 16, 2011, 10:38 AM

Am I the only one who thinks of our Lone Star rather than Beck when I see the title?

subego · May 16, 2011, 11:13 AM

Yeah. That bugged me a bit. Our Glenn is awesome.

Yeah, making fun of someone's miscarriage because you hate fat people is hilarious.

Nope.

Ok, the last person I expected to weigh in in agreement was the guy who started the thread.

subego · May 16, 2011, 11:25 AM

I am a misinterpretation expert.

And Meghan McCain has huge boobs.
And the chick from Boy Meets World did not age well.
And Brandy has an ugly-ass tattoo.

^^ 98% of this subforum is complaining about known jackasses saying something stupid.

Now you're just rationalizing. The pure inanity of Meghan McCain relationship to politics and the (arguable) worthwhile-ness of her cause make the entire gaff pointless. (Put it this way, replace Beck with a Late Night talk show host, and McCain with Paris Hilton and you get my point)

Take your lumps, subego. Or develop a poop fixation. Your choice.

subego · May 16, 2011, 12:31 PM

My brain is all lumpy. You lost me.

The Final Dakar · May 16, 2011, 12:32 PM

tl;dr version: You usually start better threads.

besson3c · May 16, 2011, 12:40 PM

I'm the best!

subego · May 16, 2011, 12:41 PM

^^ Umm... lumpy as I am, I was able to figure out that part. Where you lost me (and what I'm interested in) was your attempt to explain why.

The Final Dakar · May 16, 2011, 12:56 PM

If my late night metaphor can not convey the issue, it doesn't really matter then.

subego · May 16, 2011, 01:00 PM

Just help me out a little. The late-night host is vomiting because Paris Hilton is...

Same exact situation. Only the names have changed.

subego · May 16, 2011, 01:02 PM

And why is skin cancer an "arguable cause", especially considering both her parents have had it?

The Final Dakar · May 16, 2011, 01:04 PM

You're focusing on the least important part of that post and comparison.

subego · May 16, 2011, 01:04 PM

He's vomiting at the thought of Paris Hilton naked?

The Final Dakar · May 16, 2011, 01:05 PM

Pretty much.

What a d0uchebag.

He should have just apologized.

subego · 01:29 PM

Are you kinda sorta asking if I'd react the same way?

Edit: or more specifically, assuming I wouldn't?

The Final Dakar · May 16, 2011, 01:28 PM

I'm saying I find it hard to believe you'd consider it post-worthy.

It's not quite this simple, but he's jackhammering one of my hot buttons.

The Final Dakar · May 16, 2011, 01:46 PM

Do tell.
