Glenn Beck is an idiot. But his ratings are still good.
Fox News has all but said Glenn Beck is an idiot, but that his ratings are still good, so we guess that he will keep his job for now.
You have to “read between the lines” , but the words are there:
Don’t expect a Republican change of heart on government-run health insurance any time soon.
Even though several less sweeping versions of the public option are gaining steam on Capitol Hill, potentially providing an opening for GOP lawmakers to bargain for the least offensive, party leaders are sending a message: Not impressed.
“At the end of the day, it’s a government-run plan,” one Republican aide told Foxnews.com.
The unyielding resistance ensures that Republicans will keep health care reform complaints in their arsenal for the 2010 elections and beyond.
At the same time, they run the risk of reinforcing their image among critics as the “Party of No.” And should health care reform pass, experience no significant cost overruns or bureaucratic fumbles, and be enormously popular, the Republican Party will effectively be on the losing team.
But Republicans see any of these plans as a bureaucratic monster guaranteed to drive up already ghastly deficits and burden Americans with new taxes. They claim to have the wind at their backs, arguing that the upcoming Virginia governor’s race — where Republican Bob McDonnell leads the polls – is a “cautionary tale” to Democrats ahead of the 2010 elections and a sign of the angst directed at the incumbent party in Washington.
“We’re going to offer alternatives. … and that will be important going into next year’s election,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told ABC’s “This Week.”
Oh, and waiting until next year’s elections to offer your health care alternative is perfect…just perfect. Keep up the good work Senator McConnell. You are so far out of touch with what the American People want is starting not to be funny anymore.

There must be a lot of idiots in the U.S. then, that’s for sure… hasn’t Beck LOST 70 or so sponsors since his stupid remarks about President Obama being a racist?
