      Did he say porpoises?

      That Glenn Beck is one smooth talker.

        Beck was overheard at Sea World this weekend asking "Don't you have anything bigger than their porpoises?"

      If there's one person who knows about principles, it's definitely Glenn Beck.

        He may know about them, but at best it's second- or third-hand knowledge.

      The right wing's foremost expert on fascism is lashing out at a media source for exposing real fascism.

        Well, not so much "expert" as "proponent."

      And what Beck, and from what I've seen, other right wing posters on this website forget is that the NY Times DID sit on the warrantless wiretapping story for over a year before printing it.

        Indeed, they waited for Bush to get re-elected before exposing it.

      Principles?

      The only time Glen Beck should use the word Principles is in a spelling bee.

      And even then he would get it wrong.

        So did you. It's not usually capitalized in the middle of a sentence.

      Glenn,
      You said this story would have served your interests. How is that? Nothing like a possible death of a NYT reporter to really boost your ratings huh? Think Daniel Pearle. Is it possible lessons learned from that kidnapping were used in this one? One lesson was to not report on it? Principles like learning from past mistakes is one you ought to incorporate.

      I happen to agree with Glenn that people should act out of principle. So, why do I feel so dirty? Could it be that he has none and my instinctual awareness of this absence turns my stomach? When he does something it is noble and principled but when others do it, it is immoral. Black is white, white is black and Glenn is a complete mess!

      Ok, I am going to guess Beck likes to mish mash stories that have nothing in common with each other. If i babble long and hard enough I migh myself make a link between Saddam Hussein and 9-11. Beck is babbling away precious time invoking journalism and his inventive credentials as one.
