Rachel Maddow On Birther’s ‘Wingnut Fury’ Over Glenn Beck
It’s official, the world has gone completely bizarro. Last night on her show, Rachel Maddow picked up yesterday’s revelation that Glenn Beck thinks Birthers are “dumb.” She too expressed wonder over the disclosure:
Who could be the target of such wingnut fury from the right? Is it Jon Stewart? My friend Keith Olbermann? An even more mannish version of me?! [HA] No! How about Glenn Beck…Have I just read a mistake in the teleprompter machine?
This was followed by the requisite montage of some of Beck’s crazier moments to prove, I assume, that the Birthers are so crazy not even Glenn Beck will “take the Birther off-ramp into crazytown.” Maddow referred to the rift in relations as “poetry.” Of course, all this clip really left me wanting was a joint appearance somewhere between Glenn Beck and Rachel Maddow, which would certainly make for it’s own cable poetry. In the meantime, the clip from last night is below.

The Real Royal King says: You do have to hand it to Glen(n) Beck. Much modern American comedy centers around him.
BJL411 says: He’s the butt of jokes everywhere, as proven last night by Jon Stewart. (or was it Colbert? I forget).
Interestingly though I’m not following this story much, I came across a forum post that says Beck is smearing the birthers (but) he is blaming it on a conspiracy by the Dems. If true, oh brother!

puck30 says: You are using a posting from Craigslist?? Which links to a far right site, ‘World Nut Daily’?????
I heard this part. There was a ‘birther chain letter’ and he told people that were thinking of calling his show don’t.
The far left (Maddow) & the far right (Bill Cunigham) want to keep this story alive, albeit for different reasons.
People that are not on the fringes just look, shake their head, and move on.
Then again there’s Glenn’s number one fan, Glynnis MacNicol. I have to say, I don’t know anyone Left,right,independent) who watches his show on FNC more then she does. I really don’t.

Rahm Emanuel Thinks Washington Is Working Just Fine
60 Minutes aired tonight what feels like the kajillionth interview/profile of White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel. Boy does he look tired. Perhaps the most interesting thing to come from the spot, especially in light of today's epic vote on health care reform, is that Rahm thinks that Washington is working just fine. For real.
Bart Stupak Will Vote Yes On Health Care: “Real Winners Are The American People”
