Beck ignores reported arrest to attack "Nanny State" road checks for drunken drivers

SUMMARY: In his new book, Arguing with Idiots, Glenn Beck attacks "Nanny State-ism" by criticizing drunken-driving laws, writing, "The Nanny State approach is to use the police department to set up roadblocks and spot-checks," and stating that since "[t]he largest percentage of vehicular deaths related to alcohol are from repeat offenders," the "commonsense solution is that you lose your license after a second DUI. Forever. Problem solved." In criticizing "roadblocks and spot-checks" and advancing his "commonsense solution," Beck did not address his reported arrest for "speeding in his DeLorean with one of the car's gull-wing doors wide open," after which a former colleague said Beck was "completely out of it."
