Glenn Beck Defends Sarah Palin: We’re Practically Pen Pals!

» 32 comments

In news that is not about Juan Williams, Glenn Beck responded tonight to Politico’s story today about Sarah Palin‘s reported disorganization. First he reflected on the nuttiness and unreliability of today’s news.

Think about what you were willing to believe two years ago, even a year ago, think about what you thought, I mean, I read that story about the space aliens, the UFO’s…do you know anymore, would you be surprised if a little green man came out and were like, hey, we’ve been watching you, everybody for anal probes!

Um. This somehow segued to the Politico story and the anecdote therein that she had annoyed Beck: “And her multiple schedule changes so annoyed Glenn Beck that he finally decided not to have her on his radio or TV show to promote the book.”

Said Beck: “I saw that and said to one of my guys, what book? This is a lie! Sarah Palin and I don’t have any problems with each other, we’re practically pen pals!”

Video below. Everyone needs a knight in shining (blackboard) armor.

    Glynnis,
    In my opinion, a more appropriate title for this article would’ve been, “Glenn Beck calls Politico Article a total lie, demands retraction”. But at least you buried it in your piece.

  • The_Reasonable_Lib

    Glenn has officially lost all semblance of sense.

  • chucken

    Not the first story of Palin being an unorganized idiot wackjob.The McCain 2008 campaign leaked stories like crazy highlighting what a complete and utter fucking moron she is.She is never gonna run for anything.She got lucky being picked by McCain without being vetted and all she is concerned about is making money.

  • MediaWhore

    Pen pals? This implies they both can write. Buy gold, seeds, and freeze dried foods!

  • Moderate

    According to sources close to the situation, Glynnis loves throwing one stone at her two biggest villains, Beck and Palin.

    Dupuy no not batshit just stating a fact.That she is taken seriously by even some liberal commentators is beyond stupid.Palin needs to keep being exposed just like Beck as dangerous and ignorant. The last thing this country needs is another George W Bush who ran this country into the ground.

    Nor is it the first bald-faced lie about her.

  • Some_Dude

    I bet those correspondences are real treasure troves of intellectual perusing.

    That, or exchanges of how rich they’re becoming on the backs of the ignorant that vote against their own interests.

    You never had any!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Ted-

    The thing that Palin and Beck have in common is this. They have managed to make lots of money from idiots, while at the same time convince said idiots that they are doing something noble. And yes, both have mastered the art of bullshit. There are none better.

  • ChiliPeppersFan

    and what really gets me is that she doesn’t get it. she believes the people who don’t like her do so because she opposes what obama and the democrats do…no sarah, it’s because you’re an effin idiot!!!

    her and the embryonic version of her in delaware really have no clue. they don’t realize why we dislike them. they are no different then those embarrassments from the jersey shore. they think they are parodied because they are so popular and not because they are just a joke.

  • lane

    I’ve heard the term ‘bury the lead’, but this headlines is ridiculous. Beck is outright saying, the politico story is a lie and false. That’s the story. He’s not her ‘knight in shining armor’, he’s just trying to correct a lie.

    And the only buyers are the traders you purchased it from, and they won’t pay a hair over 60% it’s worth. Along with various surcharges and fees, of course.

    Heh, boy, i can’t believe the dumb shit conservatives believe because they heard it on the radio.

    Whoop de do. Congratulations on your single ounce purchase. I bought loads of Apple at $15 in 2004. Currently at $300+.

    Let me know when gold hits $20,000 and I’ll be impressed.

    How quaint!

    Someone who actually buys the stock and not the options.

    How 20th century!

  • tgk

    Somehow segued Glynnis? Here, let me help you………..

    Glenn was talking about how much things have changed in short time, using “do you trust what you see or hear in the media?”, Which went to the Politico story.

    So Glynnis, looks like you helped make Glenn’s point.

    Well, you may call me dumb. Investment wise, I’m 31 and have over fifty times that amount in liquid assets because I have an actual grasp of various markets and make informed investment decisions. And instead of buying investment snake oil like gold, my retirement accounts combined are about the same. I’ve only been working as a professional since I was 22. You do the math.

    Also own a house I purchased prior to the bubble that I rent out for extra income.

    But I hope that works out well for you.

    You are decidedly not dumb. Very good strategy. I am at a stage in my life at which my investments are of the more conservative sort. I am fighting currency trading solid, profitable and great fun. Plus, it can be done without all of the outrageous administrative fees and commissions if you’re so inclined.

    Because of his inherent interest in the truth? Sorry. I don’t buy it.

  • AnotherWay

    Makes you wonder whether Glynnis saw the show. She misses the entire point–that the Politico article was false. Hopefully Glynnis wont have to slam and distort in order to make a living at her new position at Business Insider.

    Beck is a slimy, sniveling, totally unprincipled, gutless worm, a cheap, corrupt shill for the rottenest corporations on the planet, and as a barely-got-out-of-high school hate monger, he will say anything that makes the illiterate and semi-literate, self…

    “First [Beck] reflected on the nuttiness and unreliability of today’s news.”

    You’ve got to be shitting me. Doesn’t Glenn Beck ever watch The Glenn Beck Show? It doesn’t get any nuttier than what is seen on his show. Ever.

    Wake up America: the far right, corporate uber-wealthy are trying to buy this election, and Glenn Beck is in on the attempted corporate coup.

    So Mediaite is formed to be the “watcher of the watch-dogs.” That’s the point of Mediaite.

    A story breaks that one media outlet has published a lie about another.

    It would stand to reason that Mediaite would live up to their mission statement and kind of mediate that conflict. Did they lie or not? Should a retraction be printed or not?

    Instead, Mediaite publishes the story as Palin Pen-Pals.

    The MEDIA part of the story, MEDIAite, is the media vs media storyline!

    This place is as crappy as their funder, MSNBC.

    The Real Royal King says:
    “I am not sure that a lurch to the left by the Democrats is inevitable. The rightward trajectory of the Republicans is going to free up space in the middle. I think Democrats may take up that space.”

    I’ve read analysis by Paul Waldman and heard on some show that this next Congress will be more divided than the one we have if the Republicans take over there.

    There is only one better argument for voting for Democratics than to realize that no domestic issues will get resolved if the R’s control Congress. Instead progress already made will get defunded, they will attempt to shut the gov’t down and some moron or two will want to impeach Obama because he hasn’t personally shown some Tea Party Congressman from the state of Dumbfukistan his birth certificate. Everyone who wants a dysfunctional government should vote Republican Nov. 2nd.

    The biggest reason to unseat Republicans is because of the Dred Scott decision of our time, i.e. CU v FEC. Everyone who wants to have a government of the rich, for the rich and by the rich (plutocracy) should vote for R’s this November. That’s the overriding issue of this and probably the next elections. The Party of Lincoln has become the Party of “Don’t tax the rich” and to hell with the middle class.

    Spread this far and wide. Take 10 minutes. Using e-mail, FB, Twitter, etc, please share this URL with every undecided and independent voter you know. Have them share it. Glenn Beck was caught with his hand in the cookie jar of the plutocrats. Share this URL:
