          Remember THE sweater? As if Beck has any room to talk. Coming to work dressed like Freddy Krueger leaves little room for him to criticize others.

            I thought stripes looked good on him! He needed pants to match, though, and a couple of accessories though...like a matching pillbox hat, and a ball and chain.

        Michelle Obama looks HOT. Beck and Drudge were simply frightened by their own ummmm "feelings"(wink wink) to the photo of the tall dark beauty so of course they are turning The First Lady White House Hottness into a negative

      Glenn is wasting his “precious airtime” to criticize the First Lady’s Clothes? I guess if you can’t put forth a convincing critique, you go after the wardrobe. He is such a Heather.

      This lowest level of human existence has reached down into his bag of ignorance and has attacked the First Lady. Why would he do this? Ratings.....

      Mr. Beck, if you think this is going to get your President to come after you so you can garner higher ratings, you are wrong.
      Mr. Beck, here is a little secret for you and you WalMarteers, the President gets to go home with the lady.

      Mr. Beck, leave the families out of you hate-filled world. Or are you just baiting people to attack your family...so you can gain ratings.

      Mr. Beck, you are washed up. And that is the dream I have.

        It's like "oh, what...are you wrapped in moss? couldn't find any people clothes?"

        No, that's a mean and stupid pointless thing to say. But then, Glenn is mean, stupid and pointless.

        Does he listen to himself after his broadcasts and nod, going, "Yup. That was a wise and proper point to make."

        What a clown.

      Oh, the Troglodytes are aghast. Michelle Obama is a proud, beautiful black woman, and they just can't stand the thought of her living in "their" White House.

      Personally, I've always considered athletic women very sexy... and I have no doubt that our First Lady could beat the snot out of Nostradumbass without breaking a sweat.

        I think Beck's problems have to do with his longing desire for former First Lady Bush. He loves older, strong, opinionated women, (white women of course).

        And they don't come whiter that Barbara.

      I'm surprised he didn't start crying as he said the word "breast." He is someone who obviously never saw a breast as an infant, or a mother for that matter.

      Simple is better, less is more.

      If they were just commenting on the dress then it's OK, many a FL has had to endure the slings and arrows of their personal style. I would rely less on "it" designers and go with what got her there. ;)

      Because, don't you know, in rightwing world, it's perfectly acceptable to make personal attacks on the wife of a politician, because her dress choice is 100% related to the politician's political philosophy and his behavior in office, isn't it?

      Beck is a punk and a thug who is a prime example of all the more tragic media celebs throughout the history of Pop culture.
      His ultimate cause of failure: He Writes His Own Material!

        I admit he does have some acting talent. He's typical of hundreds of local Radio DJs, many of whom were elevated to Hate Radio Pundits when the Republicans bought the Talk Radio market.

          Could be wrong, but I doubt that Beck would pick a wife that can think for herself. A woman like that would never tolerate a poor excuse of a (hu)man like Beck.

      After watching the Larry King interview of Laura Bush I would like to know WHY she did not go to jail. Runs a stop sign and KILLS someone and not even a ticket? And she never went to the funeral nor has EVER spoken to the parents of the friend she killed? My Gawd, what a despicable "lady". And naturally Larry just lets her go and even adds a line "Well, you didn't do anything wrong, so no need to feel guilty" Barf
