        I watch Morning Joe everyday

        I can only stand a few minutes before Joe ticks me off. But since you are a regular viewer, can you tell me what Willie Geist adds to this show?

      Well, I guess you've watched it.

      And you're a nobody.

      So we concede this one to you, Becky.

      Nobody watches "Morning Joe". QED

      Dear Glen,
      Get used to it, they are not going to call you, because it would be pointless, as arguing with idiots usually is. And face it, there is nothing they could say to you that would make you behave any better, so why even bother? They are probably watching, and when you grow up and start thinking rationally, they may call you. Until then, they will probably only interact with people they feel they can talk to. Another thing, just because fewer people watch Morning Joe than watch Faux & Frenimies, doesn't mean that the show is worse, it just means that more people watch Fox. More isn't necessarily better. At least two staffs were watching "Morning Joe", by the way, yours and the White House. And lastly, maybe the White House doesn't call and calls them because they know it annoys you and provokes you to make a batguano crazy donkey out of yourself and they enjoy the show. Oh, did I say that out loud?

            isnt it ironic that beck's new rag is called "arguing with idiots" (something or other), yet, he cant seem to comprehend who the real idiot is?

              Absolutely! And he expects this rag to be used as an authoritative text for his idiots to use in arguing their points! People are entitled to hold different opinions from me, and I will even respect them if they can show me evidence from reputable sources. I checked, it does have a bibliography, but it can't really be used to prove anything. It doesn't really have footnotes or annotations to back up the assertions, which really makes it useless to anyone who knows anything.

                well, thats beck for you... he is too lazy to even fact check basic claims. remember, this is the guy that, supposedly, has the best research team ever.

        I wonder how long it will be until Becky starts trashing fellow conservatives at Fox? I hardly agree with Scarborough, but he's a lot more personable and intelligent than Beckerwood.

        Observing Beck's career is like observing Amy Winehouse's. I really wish that he weren't so slow in self-destructing, because we all know that's how he's going to end up.

        The difference between Beck and someone like Winehouse is that Beck, like the similarly self-destructive Joe McCarthy, is taking people down with him.

          Very good thoughts! My mom today said Glenn Beck is just a comedian. He can't be so stupid to believe the crap he spews on his show. I almost tend to disagree. I think the man is just bat crap crazy.
          How can his wife look him in the eye when he goes home?

      If noone watches Morning Joe how come you feel compelled to talk about it Beck? I mean really if your right your viewers had no idea what you were talking about until you told them, so your wasting their time with something that doesnt matter cause no one knew it until you said it.

      Unless of course your wrong and enough people watch Joe that you need to defend yourself as he could undermine your arguments and credibility in the minds of your (presumably) partly shared audience. Then you'd need to address Joe, but of course once you say no one watches him, then your shared audience knows your lying, and you help Joe undermine you


      man doesnt logic just suck sometime Glenn?

      he just continues to embarrass himself time and time again. he thinks hes so hilarious with that guy sitting next to the phone and wondering why the white house wont call him. talk about obsessed... geezes man, give it up. nobody cares about you, and the claim that nobody watches a program doesnt mean nobody knows about them. they talk to them because they arent constantly waiting on phone calls from the white house like you are.

      and to think, glenn beck actually has a life... i dont think anybody can believe that.

      I am really tired of the Fox and MSNBC attacking one another. They need to grow out of the elementary school mentality.
