FoxNews = Hunter Thompson, Glenn Beck = Humble
The stunning comparisons come pouring in. On the heels of Lamar Alexander accusing the Obama White House of making an enemies list a la Nixon, with zero supporting evidence, of course, comes FoxNews comparing itself to Gonzo Journalist Hunter S. Thompson and Victoria Jackson whiting Glenn Beck a letter praising his humility.
The world is upso down. FoxNews, in an editorial about the Obama Administration’s disdain for the network, and in as dramatic a style as they could muster, has compared itself to that left wing druggie journalist Hunter S. Thompson, while at the same time comparing the Obama White House to the Nixon White House. A comparison of FoxNews to a druggie? I can go with that, though Thompson certainly had a far higher ethical standard than FoxNews. Perhaps a more apt comparison would be to William Randolph Hearst. Anyway, there’s the end of the FoxNews editorial, where they basically suggest that Barack Obama go boozing with Roger Ailes.
Perhaps it is time for Gibbs and this administration to act like grown ups. Perhaps it is time for Gibbs and this administration to take a different page out of the 1972 campaign playbook. — After being thrown off the Nixon plane, Thompson sat down for a whole bunch of drinks with Nixon speechwriter Pat Buchanan. Thompson was back on the plane.
If Obama can get the prof and the cop together for a beer, he should be adult enough to call a truce and sit down with Fox’s Roger Ailes over a bottle of Jack Daniels.
Of course, the parallel here would be a FoxNews broadcaster sitting down and guzzling Jack Daniels with an Obama speechwriter, but the FoxNews staff is known neither for honesty nor good logical writing.
Speaking of logical writing, check out the gurgling nonsense from Victoria Jackson, pictured here doing a handstand in front of her homemade sign supporting Glenn Beck. Here’s a little taste:
I took my beautiful fake nails out to my car and drove to the car wash. Hard working, friendly Mexicans made it shiny. I don’t know if they were legal or illegal. I love everyone, but I think rules should be followed. Why can’t they be legal? Is it difficult? You’ll probably explain Amnesty to me tomorrow on TV, because you always know what I’m thinking. I did those minimum wage jobs for years, working my way up the Capitalist ladder. I did it with a happy heart looking forward to the day when I could have a great job! But, while Obama romances the racial minorities; defending Professor Gates, picking Sotomayor, having Latin dance parties, and hinting at Amnesty, don’t the minorities realize that if Obama continues to destroy Capitalism they will always be stuck on the bottom rung? There will be no Capitalist ladder.
Glenn Beck, I like your solution, “Replace the corrupt Congress.” Good plan. I’m studying the candidates right now. Jindal is good. Handstands for Huckabee. Palin for President.
Glenn Beck, thank you for 9/12. I went to the Westwood, CA 9/12. See my handmade poster, behind my handstand?
I went to the sign making place today. I designed a Glenn Beck bumper sticker because you don’t sell one on your website. Humility is sexy! It’s so rare these days.
If that new “Diversity Czar,” Mark Lloyd or his evil boss ever try to take away my Fox News, my Hannity, my Radio Shows, or my Glenn Beck, they are in big trouble, because I won’t let you go. I won’t let you go.
Love always,
Victoria Jackson xxooP.S. Joy Behar hates you, so you must be doing something right!
This is either a masterful stroke of satire by Jackson, or she is too insane to walk the streets alone. I just can’t figure it out. What’s with that Joy Behar line, after all? It’s like a line one 14 year old girl might use to another. Then again, this is a letter from Victoria Jackson to Glenn Beck, who cries far worse than a 14 year old girl. And check out Jackson’s references to Vietnamese and Mexican-American workers she encounters, references that show little awareness as to how the world might read them. Even Glenn Beck is more aware of his image. Still, is Victoria Jackson engaged in an elaborate satire? You make the call.




We can hope that Glenn Beck will call up his wife and then put a slug through his brain, can’t we?
the answer to your question about Victoria Johnson, is NO. She’s been saying all sorts of stupid crap about Obama all during the campaign… so the nicest thing that could be said about all her “mad ravings” is that she’s suffering from some kind of mental illness and doesn’t know what she’s saying…. the next thing you could take from this is that she’s one of the “ditto heads” that happily regurgitates whatever deranged bullshit is shoveled onto her plate.
What she’s not doing is satire, elaborate or not.
Regarding Victoria Johnson: Remember that even Richard Ramirez (the “Nightstalker”) has his groupies.
Glenn Beck is HUMBLE?! How did she get that? Because he doesn’t sell bumper stickers? By that standard, I and everyone I know are regular Uriah Heeps.
