BTW: pondering: Is Glenn Beck living in 1809, 1992 or 2009? My early gut is 1809. Only douche bags like Beck refer to Obama as Messiah. We call him Mr President. Keep it classy Glenn.
You can look it up, but here's a hint: The lead role in "The Trouble with Harry" was played by Alfred Hitchcock himself, he always had cameo roles in his films.
I'm not even going to get into the inappropriateness of most of the twit's tweet. What I think needs to be addressed is his callous disregard of Sotomayor's health condition. Diabetes isn't a joke, it's a chronic disease and one that needs to be carefully controlled and as far as I know there is no cure once you have it (Messiah or not) - But her condition in no way disqualifies her for a position on the Supreme Court and is frankly none of Mr. Beck's business to talk about.
First off, there are two types of diabetes, A & B, serious (Meaning you need regular shots of insulin) and mild (Meaning you just have to watch your diet and monitor your blood sugar). I have type B, the mild type. It's not clear that either type would create significant problems for a judge as it's not like she has to go hiking through the woods or anything. She'd never be far from her blood sugar monitoring equipment or anything else. I just don't see why that's a concern, even if it were true.
To answer mister beck's extremely vaid question: NO, JESUS CHRIST cannot cure her diabetes, and prayer is completely useless in curing this, and every other, chronic disease. The placebo-enhancing effects of prayer (whether christian or non-christian, and also secular-based meditation and, apparently, Marx Brothers movies as well) are all well documented (anecdotally) but so far, NO ONE can be conclusively proven to have been "cured" by the "Messiah." (Hence the need for universal health care coverage.)
I do believe that what's face, the Malcolm X wannabe fellow that runs the American Jihadi chapter, Calypso Louie, coined that "Messiah" phrase and Czarbie hasn't chastised him for it nor has he rejected the term so get over yourselves.
Glenn Beck and people like him frighten the status quo because we threaten them with the very Constitution the poli-hacks shred on a daily basis. Get over it me lads...and keep looking over your shoulders. We are right there.
What makes you think he's referrring to Obama? I think he means Jebus.

Beck continues to prove that his "self education" was a miserable failure.
Why not? He's a twit.
It's just a matter of time before the reich-wing twits start hoping she dies from diabetes.
