"Mindless...Pathetic" Beck

[Nonno]

"As readers are no doubt aware, the latest swerve in the incoherent slalom of Glenn Beck's career as a pundit came when he went online for an interview with Katie Couric to insist -- after solid months of referring to President Barack Obama as a "radical" and a "racist" -- that the country would have been worse off under Senator John McCain, and that he might have voted for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who is best known for what? Oh, yes! Attempting to provide universal, government-provided health care for all Americans. It was hard to watch without concluding that Beck's worldview lacked a certain -- shall we say...internal consistency.

Not surprisingly, there's a backlash brewing, courtesy of one of Beck's fellow right-wing talkers, Mark Levin:

LEVIN: How can you day after day and night after night correctly rail against Obama's radicalism, how he's undermining the Constitution, how he's nationalizing our basic industries, how he has Marxists all around him, and then say in an interview with Katie Couric, I think John McCain would have been worse than Obama? Quote: "How about this? I think John McCain would have been worse for the country than Barack Obama. How's that?" That's not good. McCain is no conservative, in fact in many respects he's a progressive. Which is why I fought him. Day in and day out. Day in and day out behind this microphone. Not only fought him behind this microphone but wrote article after article -- go ahead and Google it -- rejecting his candidacy. But to say that he'd be worse than a president that's a Marxist, who's running around the country -- I'm sorry, the world -- apologizing for our nation, who's slashing our defense budget, who's nationalizing our health care system? To say he would be worse is mindless, mindless, incoherent as a matter of fact. There's our 5-PMer, on Fox ... I don't know who certain people are playing to, I don't know why they are playing to certain people ... I think there's enormous confusion and positioning and pandering. It may be entertaining, but from my perspective, it's not. It's pathetic."
