Lots Of Love! OK, so, the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor began yesterday. Now, as is the tradition in these proceedings, the first day is dedicated to opening statements from each of the senators on the Judiciary Committee, as well as an opening statement from Ms. Sotomayor, but no actual questioning. The questioning begins today. Fair enough! I didn’t make these rules, that’s just how these things work. And it seems perfectly reasonable. There will be plenty of time for questions! But last night Glenn Beck took to the airwaves to complain about the “softball” questions being thrown at Sotomayor, which, just to clarify, in case Glenn Beck is reading this, because he is an idiot and will have missed the point so far, were not questions at all, but opening statements. Right. Got it. (Glenn Beck, still having some trouble with it.)
The outrage! Hey Glenn Beck, why don’t you do another Comedy Movie, you riot! (Via ThinkProgress.)
The Genius Bar at the Apple Store keeps calling Glenn Beck, trying to get his permission to rename it the Glenn Beck Bar. But he can’t return their phone calls because his phone is broken. Because his phone is covered in mayonnaise.
Glenn Beck needs to relax. Once the questioning got started this morning, the Republicans were right on top of it.
JUSTICES NEED TO STOP NUNCHAKU KATAING FROM THE BENCH! (Thanks for the tip, Charlie.)

HEY Y’ALL ninjas are A REAL AND SERIOUS PROBLEM that we face on a DAILY BASIS so this CONVERSATION IS SUPER RELEVANT.
Also, I need to read BECK’S BOOK, apparently IT HAS A LOT OF COMMON SENSE.
(yes I know that’s HEAVILY EDITED, still it makes me LAUGH.)
Also, I predict that by the end of this WEEK, this thread will HAVE THE LOWEST VOTED COMMENT from somebody who does not have AN ACCOUNT but has an annoying OPINION.

Don’t you ever tell ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE!
You know what? I’m starting to like you.
hooray! LOTS OF LOVE!
Two things. One: I got a tip through! (Pats self on back.)
Two: Justice Samuel Alito’s reversal rate when Bush nominated him? 100%. That’s right, 100% of Alito’s rulings were overturned by the Supreme Court. Was this notable? No. So Glenn Beck, please go home to your multi-million dollar house, where you represent the views of the common man and the world turned right-side-up.
Nunchucks don’t kill people. Ninjas wielding nunchucks kill people.
When will the government get wise to this shadowy menace?!?!
You just know that he’s a CRANKhead.
I had no idea the NNWA (National Ninja Weapon Association) had such a lobby on the Judiciary Committee
Lobbyism zing! $$$
I love how the ad on the last video is for “Ninja Weapons.”
I don’t really have sympathy for Glenn Beck (he’s obviously insufferable), but I couldn’t get through that entire clip because watching people embarrass themselves on TV makes me feel awkward inside. (All reality TV excluded, of course.)
In other news, apparantly Chuck Schumer is now a senator of Illinois.
Man, the 2nd Amendment is the worst. It’s crazy that State of New York needs to pass a special constitutional test to ban NINJA WEAPONS.
Beck is obviously more concerned about freaking out than commenting on actual events. The first day was totally zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. There were no questions and nobody even talked about Sotomayor.
Dems: argy bargy bluh bluh brrrrrrrrr Justice Roberts is an asshole blrherhreler
GOP: argry bargy blrrehg Miguel Estrada is a Latino and you guys screwed him blher hr glhbh
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Today was a little more interesting but not much. Lot’s of
GOP: “You’re an activist you think Latinas are smarter than us old white dudes.”
SS: “No I’m not I only follow precedent, except when I don’t.”
Not much illumination either way so far.
I can’t read that comment because there’s too many words, and I’m not here to read words or make friends, I’m here to watch videos. But fuck yeah, Bernard Black! He would be an excellent replacement for Lindsay.
It’s mostly gibberish anyway, no worries. Is this short enough?
I think it’s better, but it’s hard to tell. There are a lot of letters in those words.
How the fuck did Al Franken get on Judiciary Committee so fast?
By stealing a super-majority for his party. Uh oh! My average comment score is about to drop!
Nunchuku! ha ha
She also talked about Tarzan. I’m serious. She was a prosecutor at one point and there was a guy swinging into people’s apartment windows on a rope. They called him the Tarzan Murderer. Apparently the fact that he had such an obvious M.O. she got the court to allow her to charge him a bunch of crimes in which there was not evidence but the M.O. was the same.
the saddest part about what a dumdum Glenn Beck is, is how many dumdums go along with the misinformed things he has to say.
i would replace saddest with terrifyingly frightening and confusing, but yes, i agree. glenn beck creeps me the fuck out, something about him just makes him seem so much more evil than any of the other pundits.
Yep, Beck is another Bill O’Reilly. It’s more about him than the issues. The only difference is that O’Reilly will pick some random issue to disagree with conservatives in order to show he’s “independent.” Beck just goes off on his own end of the world delusions. The thing that sucks for me is that I usually disagree with the people he attacks. He makes us other (more reasoned) right-wingers look bad. Boo Beck.
It’s especially confusing for me. Whenever people say “Beck is an asshole!”, I say “No, he isn’t! He’s a wonderful musician! Have you heard Odelay??” and then I get the awkward stareand then I realize and say “Wait, yeah. He totally is.”
“as our country burns to the ground”
WOAH THERE! YOUR COUNTRY IS BURNING TO THE GROUND AND YOUR NEWS CHANNEL IS BUSY SHOWING SOMEBODY COMPLAINING ABOUT COMPLIMENTS??!?!?! Oh… Oh right, it’s not.
Dear Mr. Beck, I enjoyed Network plenty the first time around. It’s an excellent film, but I do not much care to live in its somehow attractively decorated world of demagoguery. I do however, think she should have the fuckin’ overhead benefits.
Welcome to Politicalgum. Yay! So much fun!
I don’t think it’s Politicalgum so much as GlennBeckisababblingmorongum. And that’s like, duh.
Everyone!
The whole “whateverthisarticleaboutgum.com” joke is tired. It’s worn out. Let it rest.
Namaste.
Judge Sonia Sotomayor: fierce advocate of idiots who buy nunchuks and accidentally hit themselves in the balls with them.
I have no further ninja skills, your honor. The prosecution rests in pieces.
I laughed my tits off at the mayonnaise line.
(I didn’t really laugh my tits off, you’ll be relieved to know. These manmaries are here to stay! Excuse me while I kiss them.)
Like anything involving politicians talking for long periods of time with other politicians, there are going to be many words used to say very little.
surprise to see no one commented they want to see the tags in reverse order. there, i said it. your welcome

I’m pretty sure Glenn Beck is suffering from clinical psychosis and paranoia. When he starts talking about ACORN and Obama’s secret evil plan to control everyone, I feel overwhelming pity for him. If I ever meet Glenn Beck in person, I will hug him and say, “It’s OK buddy, everything is going to be alright.” And he will probably break down and cry in my arms, and I will pat him on the back, and then punch him in the face for the racist and homophobic shit he says and implies. That’s not madness, that’s just being an asshole.
The only good thing about Glenn Beck is Stephen Colbert making fun of Glenn Beck for being the worst.
