Glenn Beckwatch: This Time, it's Personal

Don't count Glenn Beck out just yet! According to Blatherwatch (via Bryan T. Bissell) our ol' buddy Glenn is a-headin' for Seattle:

Glenn Beck (KTTH m-f, 6-9a) will keynote the Evergreen Freedom Foundation's fundraiser at Seattle's Safeco Field, Saturday, Sept. 26

Wow. And, hey, double-wow: Blatherwatch also reports that Bud Norris, mayor of Mount Vernon, is trying to give Glenn Beck the keys to his city. He also wants to declare a Glenn Beck Day in Beck's honor.

You can find Bud Norris's contact information here.

He reminds me of the old communists in the USSR who so badly managed their country by adhering to a tried and failed ideology. They railed for years against change, and spewed ignorant hate. But in the end they were losers and everyone came to understand that. He's a vacuus, hateful, ignorant swine who is ultimately just a sore loser.

My wife and I are brainstorming signs right now.

So far my wife has come up with "Glen Beck Eats Poop For Breakfast."

@8 That was almost a sentence.

@5 Just as a coda: the current Russia, under President/Prime Minister/Supreme Leader Putin, is now a much better place due to people's "understanding" of the flaws of the system.

Right?

Thanks for the contact info—I already sent the mayor a note.

And it wouldn't hurt to let all the (Seattle-based) operators of the numerous tour groups that bring busloads of tourists up to Mount Vernon about the mayor's plans. A boycott from them would really hurt that town.

Craig Kelly was also from Mt Vernon.

A ass kicker and a ass licker from the same town-who woulda thunk it?

@5 Keep your head buried in the sand. You Liberals are taking our country down the same path as the USSR. @3 Typical.

@ #17 I didn't realize that liberals caused the demise of the Soviet Union. It is very interesting that you are siding with hardline Communists in your stance against glasnost...you really didn't think about what you posted, did you? Do you ever think at all? Actually, #17 is a good example of the myopia/dystopia echoed by the media as some sort of debatable position. Despite the fact that America has effectively ALREADY been taken back via the last election, these members of the American electorate believe that they are fomenting some sort of honest rebellion. It's almost enough to make me vote Republican just so they'd shut their stupid fucking faces.

Jim Caviezel, aka Mel Gibson's Christ, also was from Mount Vernon. COINCIDENCE?!?

@9, Whatcom County is indeed a weird hotbed of survivalist redneck types (with the very liberal environs of WWU uneasily mixed in), however, Mt. Vernon is in Skagit County.

@ 15... I laughed out loud. Thank you.

The next time anyone tries to say that the EFF is an independent think tank, kick them in the junk.

So if Glenn Beck exits his limo and crosses Royal Brougham at mid-block, will the Seattle Police give HIM a ticket for jaywalking like they did the African American GM of the White Sox, whose ticket was categorized as "JWB".

If you're fat enough to where ya can't see your own cock, and it never was much to look at anyway; can't hold a steady job because there's only so much dirt to shuffle around in the truck you shouldn't have bought & won't pay off; behind in child support; hate women & wonder why they don't like you; hate yourself & you bought a gun to make up for the sagging man-tits; decided that trying to improve yourself is too much work & blaming others is easier but other people see you for the self loathing failure you are so you hate on people who are vulnerable ... then you probably also like to have other people sort the facts out for you and enjoy listening to Glenn fucking Beck's insecure opinions of the world ... or you're my grandparents & spend way too much time watching FOX & not enough time watching The Daily Show.

I wish WA didn't have so many of them.

Nice to see a few reasonable and less profane types on the Stranger blog. Kind of refreshing!

Glenn Beck is coming to kick libtard ass! Local boy made good, he is a true PNW'r, not like you east coast imports.

You can't stand his truth and that he has outed 9/11 truther, Van Jones - You guys bitch while he speaks for America. Obamacommie has shot the wad and Beck will sweep up the floor with him. I got my ticket for 9/26 at Safeco Field (finally! a winner in that place). You people better get there or you won't be able to say you were there when history was made.
