      Somehow I doubt if Beck's been to a Golden Corral in a long time, either.

      Right, Glenn and d-bags. George Bush ate mac & cheese during his state dinners. Laura Bush bought everything from Dress Barn.

        I guess psilocybin is in season now so Beck will have more visions of revisionist history.Maybe he'll see George Bush leading the Huns into Valhalla.

      The President and the First Lady look French? Or maybe they were wearing powdered wigs?

      When Jimmy Carter wore sweaters and carried his own garment bag he was derided...but not the imperial presidency of his successor, Ronald Reagan.

      And this morning it was Julius Caesar. Maybe Beck searched "leaders who were killed" this weekend and wrote down some unpopular figures.

      Look out for references to Charles I of England, Nicholas II of Russia (or is that too close to Communism?), Malcolm X... maybe Indira Gandhi, if the Indian PM comes again...

      Glenn, what sort of trappings do $32 million/year buy? I agree that way too much money is spent on inauguration balls and state dinners (which neither Beck nor I will ever be invited to), but I have long thought this was a waste, why is it just now a problem for you Shrek? Hmmmmm, I wonder what it is that makes the Obama's different????

          "I just can't think of the difference. Hmmm. . . ."


          Ooh, ooh, I can!

          Becky thinks the only way the Obamas should be at a state dinner -- is if they're serving and cleaning up . . .

      Glenn, that wasn't video from the state dinner. That was video from Rush Limbaugh's apartment.

      And whom, Glenn, are you? Danton? Robespierre? Saint Just?

      No.

      You're probably closest to Marat.

      Not that any of those names mean anything to you.

      Beck, you pose as an historian, but I wonder whether you realize how ridiculous that pose is to anybody who actually has bothered to study it.

        Now David, don't give Becky any more ideas -- he already thinks of himself as some kind of martyr that may "disappear" some day . . .
