Glenn Beck’s Solution For Uninsured, Out Of Work, Fat People: Food Police

I think it’s safe to say that over the eight months or so the health care debate has brought out the angels of the country’s…angrier, sometimes crazier, not always politically correct angels. Also, everyone has their own plan. Rush Limbaugh has said he will flee to Costa Rica if the plan passes (insert punchline of choice here). Meanwhile Glenn Beck is taking a sink (almost literally) or swim attitude when it comes to health care coverage.

On Friday, Beck followed up Thursday’s (admittedly awesome) “fatty, fat, fat pie” tirade, telling Bill O’Reilly that, basically, if you are fat, and unemployed, and relying on government assistance than you have forfeited your right to regulate your own life: “If you want to be a slave to the government, then they have every right, but leave the rest of us alone.” Short version: eat what you want, as long as you can pay for the consequences. Alas, no word from Beck on how much a ‘food police’ budget would inflate the already staggering deficit. Video below.
