Glenn Beck Would Vote For Donald Trump To Watch His Hair React To Marine One

video
» 24 comments

Given that the centerpiece of the Donald Trump 2012 pseudo-campaign platform has been whether President Barack Obama was born in America, Glenn Beck may have come up with the most ingenious reason to vote for the man yet: just to see his hair react to official state aircraft. In his weekly visit to Bill O’Reilly, Beck took the time to praise (?) Trump and take a few swipes at the “ridiculous waste of time” that was the royal wedding.

Perhaps predictably for someone who adorns his show with pictures of Benjamin Franklin and Alexander Hamilton, Beck confessed to O’Reilly that he neither watched the royal wedding nor cared. After a feeble attempted at pretending to have watched it (“she looked beautiful in that… dress,” he mumbled, before later making fun of Kate Middleton for being a chimney sweep, apparently), Beck came out and confessed that he didn’t care “at all,” was slightly outraged at the $33 million-dollar price tag on wedding security, and found it incredible that people would watch the wedding when “the world is on fire.” O’Reilly didn’t go so far as to disagree that the world was on fire, but argued that some escapism was a good thing, and that Beck was bordering on a hack of “respect for British society” with his flippant attitude, which he described with some dramatic raspberry noises. Instead of the royal wedding, Beck concluded that O’Reilly should spend some time watching “that movie with John Galt in it,” which O’Reilly scoffed at.

Not that Beck had that much more respect for the birthers. Highlighting statements by Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, he noted that while the latter is “printing money like toilet paper,” people continue to care about the birth certificate, “which won’t make a difference at all.” That said, he admitted to “loving” Donald Trump and even contemplating a vote for him– or rather, his hair, to watch its mysteries unravel as it spun up high in official state helicopters.

    Meanwhile , in another part of Washington :

    “Confirmed: “Drain the swamp” is Washington-speak for “Let it fester.” While House ethics watchdogs dither, it’s shady business as usual for ethics scandal-plagued Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters.

    Last summer, the House Ethics Committee charged the entrenched California congresswoman with three violations related to her wheeling and dealing on behalf of minority-owned OneUnited Bank in Los Angeles. The panel accused Waters of bringing discredit to the House for using her influence to seek and secure taxpayer-subsidized special favors for the failing financial institution.

    Eight months have passed since the House ethics panel charged Waters. But to date, there has been no action. No trial. No consequences.

    Instead, Waters is busy ginning up opposition to GOP budget and entitlement reform, introducing new regulatory crackdowns on the financial industry, and waltzing into political rallies as Aretha Franklin’s “Respect” blares from the loudspeaker. The Swamp Queen has been playing her well-worn race card, stoking class warfare in the “community” and playing populist guardian of the “children, the poor, the disabled and the elderly .

    Mad Maxine may have her “community” duped. But this corporate welfare fixer is just another corruptocrat of a different stripe.”

    Funny segment. Those two play off each other well and seem to enjoy each others company. Don’t agree with Beck regarding the Wedding but whatevah….

  • writer

    He could wear a head band, like Mark Knopfler.

  • Barack Must Go

    I feel like I just watched Jon Stewart & co., not O’Reilly & Beck. I guess Trump stealing the thunderof all these guys has really gotten them genuinely hot & bothered. Very unbecoming and liberal bomb thrower like of them.

    What are they going to do when ‘ The Donald ” actually announces he’s running next week? ” FOX NETWORKS ” better bring some crisis management folks in a few days before, just in case.

    Yes , Glenn . The world is on fire , especially down Texas way . But Obama’s not interested . Instead of declaring it a disaster , they have been thinking about it for two weeks. King Barry did his disaster photo op in Alabama yesterday , so he’s not interested in any more for a while . After all , he;s got golf today and a party tonight !

  • Probably NOT wrong

    Now that’s funny.
    Leaves a hell of an image in your mind, that
    the hair would leave the head all by its self and damage the rotors, OR
    if the hair IS real, hair and The Donald would leave the ground and damage both
    the rotors AND The Donald.

    I don’t know. Trump’s one tough cookie. He’s more the bandana type, like Bret Michaels or Leif Garrett, maybe even with a patch over one eye.

  • writer

    Or he could go the Hulk Hogan route.

  • writer

    Or is that classified as a bandana, too?

  • The Lantern of Truth

    Trump could go with the Bo Derek cornrows with beads look .

    Maybe use some fishing line weights instead of beads .

  • writer

    Or the RRK toupee with chinstrap and visible price tag, ala Minnie Pearl.

  • Probably NOT wrong

    Keep this up and you’re going to help Trump get elected just so voters can
    see for themselves how he intends to solve the problem! lol

    Of course, Trump was never drafted…so that kinda defeats the claim that he was a “draft-dodger”…now doesn’t it…

    Would you then call it, draft evading?

    It’s called giving the shock jock enough rope.

    The only reason I’d vote for Trump is to see him re-name the plane Hair Force One.

    BTW, how many years of combat do you have under your belt? That’s what I thought…

    I thought it was the body count that was important.

    Not too long ago, didn’t we hear Beck bemoaning Obimbo’s willingness to personally attack people instead of attacking the issue if he felt it was damaging to his administration? Looks like another “pot & kettle” moment for Beck.

  • seek

    not really there CA.

    Beck has already stated why he wouldn’t support Trump.

    He and O’Reilly were having a light moment. It was funny, and that’s all it was meant to be.

    Trump has no government administration. He’s also not the President who is supposed to show respect for all Americans not just the ones who kowtow to him.

  • CAconservative

    seek:

    A light moment? Beck may have been using humor but, that in no way hides his real feeling about Trump.
    I’m not sure what your last remark about “showing respect for all Americans” is suppose to mean?
    The issue “is”, about Obimbo’s willingness to attack anyone who opposes his ideology. He’s proved that on many occasions. Just recently Paul Ryan introduced his economic plan. What did Obimbo attack? Was it Mr.Ryan’s plan, or was it Mr.Ryan personally? I suggest you go back and read what Obimbo’s remarks were mostly about.

    Here’s Beck on birtherism:
    “The vast majority of people are in the middle. Conservatives over here, progressives are over here and the fringe elements — the birthers and the 9/11 truthers….”

    “One of the reasons why [Obama] doesn’t just come out is because it is so great for him because it immediately marginalizes anybody who says that kind of stuff. It makes them immediately look like they’re flat earthers.”

    “Out of the thousands of protestors, you notice the birther idiot is the only one the media continues to show over and over and over again?”

    “Let’s look at the crazies. This is what I showed you last night. Here’s the guy who filed the first birther lawsuit in Pennsylvania. He’s a Democrat.”

    “Today there is a concerted effort on all radio stations to get birthers on the air. I have to tell you, are you working for the Barack Obama administration? I mean, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
    The birther issue. It’s the biggest waste of time I have ever, ever seen.”

    “And these people, no matter who they are, it could be a Republican, it could be George Bush. It doesn’t matter. Lindsey Graham, I don’t care who it is. These people must not excuse birthers.”

    Now Glenn Beck would vote for a birther? Glenn Beck doesn’t take Glenn Beck seriously. Why is anyone in the world stupid enough to actually take anything this proven liar has to say seriously?

    Beck said he’d vote for Trump for his hair. I think he was kidding.

  • http://sharethisurlaboutglennbeck.com/ GlennBeckReview

    I think Beck should be on Comedy Central, so that stupid people understand that he is NEVER to be taken seriously. Smart people don’t take him seriously now, and we laugh at him more than we curse at him.
