Rodeo Clown Quote of the Day

"The enemy's not going to cower in defeat because we have a female Eskimo Hispanic dwarf cross-dresser and some handicapable [sic], transgendered breast cancer survivor as a soldier on the front line, ready to unleash an attack of unparalleled diversity." -- self-described "rodeo clown" and mentally disturbed wing nut Glenn "Dreck" Beck, on his internet poo-fling, referring to the recently-announced policy of allowing women in combat roles.

When you're unrestrained as Dreck is here, his fundamental hatred for a wide range of people gushes forth. Interestingly, he left out the mentally disturbed, perhaps because of time limitations on his list of hated people, but also perhaps because Dreck was once a suicidal borderline schizophrenic with a substance abuse problem. One would think that his experiences would have taught him some compassion and understanding, but one would be wrong. That's because Dreck still loathes who he is, and needs to take his self-hatred out on those to whom he feels superior.

Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick

There's growing concern on the right about the malignant effect that Fux hate-spewer and loony conspiracy-weaver Glenn "Boo Hoo" Beck is having on their cause. Wingers Jennifer Rubin and Peter Wehner have written recently about Boo Hoo's rants and wild conspiracy theories, with Wehner writing in the conservative rag Commentary that "it’s only a matter of time — and I suspect not much time — until he blows apart professionally." Rubin writes that Boo Hoo doesn't speak for the conservative movement. Yesterday, former Rethug Congressman Joe "JoeScar" Scarborough called Boo Hoo out for his delusional behavior, saying at one point that he's "out of control."

Boo Hoo has been a useful tool of the right to sell crackpot ideas to the low information viewers of Fux. But his increasingly unhinged diatribes are becoming a concern to his former cheerleaders, who realize that it's only a matter of time before they witness a career-ending, total mental breakdown live on the conservative "news" network.

Wingnut Wars

The increasingly disturbed rants of Fux's Boo Hoo Beck are causing some alarm bells to go off among his fellow wingnuts. Neocon smarm-meister Wee Willie Kristol reacted to Boo Hoo's apocalyptic nuttery regarding the crisis in Egypt being a vast Islamic/left wing plot to establish a caliphate in "Babylon." Calling Boo Hoo "hysterical," Wee Willie warned that Boo Hoo was "marginalizing himself." Boo Hoo hit back on his radio show, sarcastically referring to Wee Willie as "Billy" and questioning his feality to conservatism. Apparently other Rethugs are going quietly to Fux's leadership and saying that Boo Hoo is on "thin ice."

Watching him must be like watching a mental breakdown in slow motion. The paranoid fantasies, delusions and strange conspiracy theories have all the marks of someone who has lost his marbles. Shame on Fux for not staging an intervention and getting Boo Hoo the psychiatric help he desperately needs.
