Taking on Hump Day G-Beck Style

I know it might sound weird but I like Glenn Beck's show and I watch it regularly (well, either that or porn) just before I fall asleep. Yes, he is a conservative Moron but sometimes I feel that his fist punches so far through the right that it circles around to the left. He is witty, sharp dressing & entertaining. And maybe part of me watches it to remedy the Catholic guilt that has steadily increased over the past two years for chucking out the window so many years of built up Catholic dogma. Well, I guess more than anything else it probably his fine taste in ties that lures me in.

Regardless, last night's episode was a classic example of how Beck got the tables quickly reversed (in a disagreement with Rev. Al Sharpton regarding the Imus fiasco) and used his smile & break away technique. Sharpton clearly was showing stronger points. After realizing that he had no way to reverse the half nelson, Beck opted to over noise his opponent with laughter, a smile and then a commercial break. If only life was that easy when transitioning - laugh, charm it off and then glide to another dispute which you are sure you can come out on top of with no recollection of previous defeats. Perhaps I just lack premature silver haired fox look to replicate this attitude.

G. Beck is a smooth cat. I met him at Border's in Westlake a few years ago. My brother's a big fan!
