Shalampti 1: “An Inconvenient Kook”

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

My contribution to the elevation of American political discourse. But don’t worry, the guy deserves it.

If you’re not familiar with Glenn Beck’s cutting-edge, contemporary “humor,” please note that the cover to his book is a slam on the poster for Super Size Me, a movie that came out five years ago.

In a Newsmax review Beck is quoted as saying “‘political correctness is the biggest threat this nation faces today.’” Really? Reviewer Lowell Ponte bizarrely describes Beck as “waif-like” before explaining Beck’s “evident appeal”: “his face stares outward with large blue eyes and a gentle expression of innocent bewilderment. He looks child-like.”
