And the point of this is …?
progressoverpeace on June 17, 2009 at 10:39 PM
Um…
WTF?
perroviejo on June 17, 2009 at 10:40 PM
The menthol girl is kinda hot.
elduende on June 17, 2009 at 10:41 PM
Clearly where Glen Beck puts his hat… ;p
doriangrey on June 17, 2009 at 10:41 PM
Are you intentionally being a total douche bag when it comes to GB, or…?
jjraines on June 17, 2009 at 10:41 PM
He’s scary, but he wants to be…. I think he needs to be. The guy is sincere and has got a lot of things right. We need to give him some space to tell his story….. Besides, he’s from Sumner….. go Spartans….!!
PaCadle on June 17, 2009 at 10:42 PM
Agreed.
Upstater85 on June 17, 2009 at 10:42 PM
O/T………… Quick somebody call Allahpundit an ambulance, I think he’s going to have a heart attack… Apple just dropped the price of the iPhone to……. $99.99 ………. Poor AP, and he paid $1200.00 for his…. ;p
doriangrey on June 17, 2009 at 10:44 PM
He was stimulating the economy
Upstater85 on June 17, 2009 at 10:45 PM
I admire anyone willing to make fun of themselves.
chicagojedi on June 17, 2009 at 10:46 PM
I wish they could have had him him scream, “Hey Stella! Hey Stella!”. Beck would be a natural for that part. DD
Darvin Dowdy on June 17, 2009 at 10:46 PM
Yeah, nothing else happened today….
(rolls eyes)
cs89 on June 17, 2009 at 10:48 PM

Welcome to Hot Air. We should get along just fine.
Jaibones on June 17, 2009 at 10:49 PM
I’m kidding but,why didn’t she just
haul off and kick him where the sun
doesn’t shine!
And yes,I do like Glen Beck!haha.
canopfor on June 17, 2009 at 10:51 PM
Was the blond with the camera Greenburg?
She didn’t look half bad for a lunatic.
MadisonConservative on June 17, 2009 at 10:51 PM
Somebody find that da*n oilcan!!!
ladyingray on June 17, 2009 at 10:51 PM
ROTFLMAO……………….Just watching Gretaz… PETA has condemned Obama….. For swatting that fly the other day during his interview….
doriangrey on June 17, 2009 at 10:52 PM
No kiddin’?
Who knew?
MadisonConservative on June 17, 2009 at 10:53 PM
Important stuff.
Hey, has anyone been able to determine yet if the 135 billion of US bonds found with the Asian guys in Italy are counterfeit or not? I wonder why it would take so long to determine something like that.
Buddahpundit on June 17, 2009 at 10:53 PM
I’d pay to see Nancy Pelosi,when she loses
the Speaker of the House,crying and kicking
all the way,with her Palimino in tow!!
OR,
Chris Dodd,Harry Reid,Barney Franks crying all
the way to jail,and the jail is basementless!!
BUT,the best would be,Hopey turning down an inter
view with Chris ‘The Tingle’ Matthews,now i would
watch Chris’s cryathon nightly!
Okay,forget the nightly thing,ahem!!(Snark).
canopfor on June 17, 2009 at 11:00 PM
Gawker. Snarky enough?
Reaps on June 17, 2009 at 11:01 PM
Thanks for changing the topic. I was starting to wonder what irritating chemicals AllahPundit was placing in orifices to make him think this was in any way important.
Right_of_Attila on June 17, 2009 at 11:05 PM
This was for a photo shoot people………….
………. Glen was making fun of himself.
If he really wanted to go for the gusto effect……….
…….. next time, apply the mentholated balm to the underside of his genitals.
That would be worth the price of the picture………
………. just sayin’.
Seven Percent Solution on June 17, 2009 at 11:06 PM
Everything’s got a moral, if only you can find it.
Cheshire Cat on June 17, 2009 at 11:06 PM
Beck is certainly an odd duck, but it is refreshing to see someone with his level of popularity who is willing to make fun of himself and who seems not to have an overinflated ego.
Also, Beck was warning of the current fiscal nightmare well ahead of anyone else with his big-assed megaphone.
Go Glenn go, you freak.
hillbillyjim on June 17, 2009 at 11:09 PM
Beck realized his crying was becoming a joke so he decided to joke about it himself. Not sure if it works.
Nonfactor on June 17, 2009 at 11:09 PM
I say he’s weird!
A lunatic!
No doubt a beard!
A nervous tic!
Ten tender toes
Two languid lips
A Roman nose
And sev’ral whips
A lovely lad
A cursed cad
Oh, he’s a saint
He ain’t!
PercyB on June 17, 2009 at 11:10 PM

canopfor on June 17, 2009 at 11:12 PM
MSM claiming all of Becks emotion on his shows is manufactured in 5…4…3…
cntrlfrk on June 17, 2009 at 11:12 PM
I love Beck..a real person in a sea of fakes.
The last I heard, the bonds were leaning towards the fake side because of the date on some of them.
But they wouldn’t have to be either or.
Itchee Dryback on June 17, 2009 at 11:15 PM
Necessity is the mother of invention.
semloh on June 17, 2009 at 11:20 PM
Did he throw in a “Leave Brittany Alone!” line as part of this bit?
jon1979 on June 17, 2009 at 11:24 PM
It’s just A.Pundit feeding the trolls, and pushing emotional hot buttons.
Skandia Recluse on June 17, 2009 at 11:25 PM
I am cool with anyone that has a sense of humor- GB…
bazil9 on June 17, 2009 at 11:26 PM
This isn’t about Beck. He was crying for a photo because his crying was part of what people were saying about him. One would expect that it would be forced, unless someone thought he walks around crying all day or can just cry on cue.
There is no point to this post, let alone making it QoTD. No point, at all.
progressoverpeace on June 17, 2009 at 11:26 PM
txag92 on June 17, 2009 at 11:09 PM
She cracks me up too
Allah- better keep her around or I am outta here!
bazil9 on June 17, 2009 at 11:28 PM
Who would make counterfeit bonds in those denominations? It’s not as if they can be passed at the local store for cartons of cigarettes. That would be like counterfeiting $10,000 bills.
progressoverpeace on June 17, 2009 at 11:31 PM
Thanks for the welcome! but um I’ve been around HA since before Ed came on board a few years ago. :-)
OT and maybe hijacking Allah’s thread a little but oh well: dawn is breaking in Iran and today is probably going to be a nasty day. Found this on twitter. http://twitter.com/madyar
The injuries look too small to be from any caliber except a .22. Could the injuries be from rubber bullets, buckshot, shrapnel…any ideas what could have done these? This is in Isfahan
Strong content warning:

It would have to be a country. Japan or China.
Itchee Dryback on June 17, 2009 at 11:36 PM
Yeah Allah…this is kinda dumb. Beneath your skills actually.
A bit of hypocrisy from Michelle Ochimpy might get more hits.
Riiiiiiiight. Until your husband refuses to protect children who survive late term abortions.
Maybe I spoke too soon? The more babies that are left to die in trash bins means the less money we have to spend on sick people. So Ochimpy is really saving us money. Yaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!
csdeven on June 17, 2009 at 11:37 PM
Jjraines
I intentionally pay attention to other posters to understand how they post to sense sarcasm of douchebaggery
You should do the same.
Hope that answer works for you.
blatantblue on June 17, 2009 at 11:38 PM
Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.
Lawrence Talbot on June 17, 2009 at 11:39 PM
ofandblatantblue on June 17, 2009 at 11:39 PM
Interesting. Last time I checked, Glenn Beck was using his real name and not hiding behind a moniker with reference to the Arab God. Punditry indeed.
long_cat on June 17, 2009 at 11:40 PM
But who would accept those bonds? The size is far too big for casual exchange. If they were fake they could never be cashed and I would imagine any buyers would check them out. I just don’t see how anyone could sell, or use, fake bonds of that size.
progressoverpeace on June 17, 2009 at 11:40 PM
2 Beck posts tonight? Errrrr….I’m scared.
SouthernGent on June 17, 2009 at 11:41 PM
As much as I like what Beck has to say, this is not QOTD material. Where’s our gay Cuda abortion thread?
Laura in Maryland on June 17, 2009 at 11:42 PM
csdeven on June 17, 2009 at 11:37 PM
I so appreciate Dr MO’s opinion….
bazil9 on June 17, 2009 at 11:44 PM
gay Cuda abortion thread?
LOL- classic
bazil9 on June 17, 2009 at 11:44 PM
But alas, the point, in it’s essence, may be that AllahP is a pointless puppet master ruling over the pointless lives of those caught in his infernal web.
Tav on June 17, 2009 at 11:46 PM
Traffic slowing….
Here ya go…
Sarah Palin eats baby kittens, medium-rare!
hillbillyjim on June 17, 2009 at 11:46 PM
Traffic really slowing….
Here ya really go…
Allahpundit and Meagan McCain have a Big Date this Saturday night! Will our hero leave in the morning with a smile on his face?
Luka on June 17, 2009 at 11:50 PM
Last time I checked, Beck hadn’t exposed what a crock the “Religion of Peace” is. I like AP and I enjoy being a guest in his comment section. There are other sites, feel free to leave.
Laura in Maryland on June 17, 2009 at 11:51 PM
I give the clerk at 7-11 a twenty dollar bill to pay for my Big Gulp and donut and she pulls out some kind of marker and draws a line on the bill to determine if it’s real or not. Takes about five seconds. But they want me to believe that it’s more difficult to determine if a billion dollar piece of legal tender is real or fake.
Buddahpundit on June 17, 2009 at 11:51 PM
Why thank you. How are you feeling?
Laura in Maryland on June 17, 2009 at 11:54 PM
He looks like Pee-Wee Herman.
gregbert on June 17, 2009 at 11:55 PM
That was freaking wrong. You should have at least posted a NSFW/K or a “Dude” warning.
Laura in Maryland on June 17, 2009 at 11:55 PM
Beta males are usually left at the front door with a handshake. Then later that night they get a visit from ma thumb and her 4 daughters.
csdeven on June 17, 2009 at 11:57 PM
Amazing, isn’t it?
progressoverpeace on June 17, 2009 at 11:58 PM
I know. I’m a horrible person.

Better sweet lady- thanks for asking.

So NOW What’s Going on in Iran?
TheBigOldDog on June 18, 2009 at 12:04 AM
I needed that. AP is in danger of curing me of my insomnia tonight.
Laura in Maryland on June 18, 2009 at 12:07 AM
“Obesity, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure are all diet-related health issues
Not true- why do I read the news everyday? I want to crawl into my ignorance is bliss bubble.
bazil9 on June 18, 2009 at 12:17 AM
Read that today. This from the same article is very ominous:
elduende on June 18, 2009 at 12:17 AM
Next to Red Eye, Beck is as informative as he is entertaining.
I live it, my DVR loves it, my dog love it.
Kini on June 18, 2009 at 12:20 AM
I’m just glad that someone enjoyed my awesome display of juvenile behavior. Sleep well.

Aloha, Kini.
Have you seem or heard E. on here at all recently? We are less than we were without her. Damnit.
I hope all is well.
Sorry for the OT.

Aloha hillbillyjim,
I miss Entelechy posting here also. I hope Entelechy comes back some day. I’m sure she visits from time to time.
All is well, thanks for asking. How U?
Not sorry for OT. Time for another Beck(s) Beer!
Kini on June 18, 2009 at 12:57 AM
Did she express some permanent exit from the site?
MadisonConservative on June 18, 2009 at 12:58 AM
Beck covers more important stories than anyone else. That is strange coming from someone who is basically an entertainer. Why in the heck doesn’t someone else cover that bond story? That is enough money to really make a dent in things…
And the Inspector General that Obama flat out fired because he exposed the fraud and hypocrisy… That should be front page New York Times… yet the only one I’ve seen really get in depth is Glenn Beck.
And nobody else seems to care if ACORN ruins this country… only Beck. Of all people.
petunia on June 18, 2009 at 1:02 AM
Bitter and clinging…other than that, fine. I miss my country, though.
G’night all.
hillbillyjim on June 18, 2009 at 1:02 AM
Why are you bigoted against harmonious elephants?
Loxodonta on June 18, 2009 at 1:08 AM
Not that I am aware of. But if I had to guess, she is mourning for our country and our future.
What I like about Beck (and Fox News in general), he exposes the Obama and others like to a layer of deceit no seen in our country’s history.
hillbillyjim on June 18, 2009 at 1:02 AM
G’Nite my friend!
Kini on June 18, 2009 at 1:12 AM
too bad Beck isn’t packaged in an atheist leggy blonde woman who isn’t overly dramatic, then AP would be singing a different tune.
I_C on June 18, 2009 at 1:13 AM
The photographer was the classy lass who took pictures of the crying toddlers a while back. She must have used mentholated balm and the kids’ acting skills to draw out their tears for the camera. Yep, that must be how she did it.
That, or she gave Glenn Beck some candy and then took it away from him.
CO2 Producer on June 18, 2009 at 1:18 AM
Drudge has up the story that today George W. Bush finally broke his silence about the cesspool this country is becoming because of Prez Urkel. That might have been more a Quote of the Day than this.
Marcus on June 18, 2009 at 1:19 AM
‘Bout Time,
I hope Beck runs with this.
Kini on June 18, 2009 at 1:24 AM
Whay?
Related to the Oliphaunt perhaps?
hillbillyjim on June 18, 2009 at 1:26 AM
I’ve acquired a bout of your insomnia, Loxo.
Thanks for the laugh.
Harmonious elephant with an excellent sense of timing?
Good night again.
hillbillyjim on June 18, 2009 at 1:31 AM
Grey as a mouse,
Big as a house,
Nose like a snake,
I make the earth shake,
As I tramp through the grass;
Trees crack as I pass.
With horns in my mouth,
I walk in the South,
Flapping big ears.
Beyond count of years
I stump round and round,
Never lie on the ground,
Not even to die.
Oliphaunt am I,
Biggest of all,
Huge, old, and tall.
If ever you’d met me
You wouldn’t forget me.
If you never do,
You won’t think I’m true;
But old Oliphaunt am I,
And I never lie.
Kini on June 18, 2009 at 1:35 AM
Now that’s a harmonious elephant!
hillbillyjim on June 18, 2009 at 1:40 AM
…with an excellent sense of timing.
hillbillyjim on June 18, 2009 at 1:41 AM
syncophant: sync= synchronization, harmony; ophant = elephant.
Loxodonta have great built-in music makers. And although I am now unable, I once tickled the ivory.
Loxodonta on June 18, 2009 at 1:42 AM
I love Glenn, so much!
Wilberforce_chick on June 18, 2009 at 1:44 AM
Just as long as you have an excellent sense of timing.
Long live Loxodonta!
hillbillyjim on June 18, 2009 at 1:47 AM
Thanks. Like everything else, all elephants come to an end, but elephants never do something, I can’t quite remember what it is. Probably not important anyway. Sigh.
Good night and have a good day.

nondhimmie on June 18, 2009 at 5:32 AM
Sometimes Beck is sometimes a little too out there for my taste, but he is a fascinating current event. We’ll see how current and for how long. Right now I’m rooting for him.
