If I didn’t trust the source, I wouldn’t believe it, and there’s no way I would have heard it straight from the horses…mouth.

Beck, talking about Scott Brown (you may have heard)…

Is this it, then? You think he’s finally stuffed a hand grenade up his Nixon and pulled the pin?

ETA: Linky dinky parley voo…

Er, shouldn’t he be saying, “Keep him out of the airport bathrooms?”

Then again, if anybody would know about dead girls, in either 1990 or 2010, it’s Glenn Beck.

LOL, the Pit Policeman weighs in on post #3. You’re such a junior mod, it’s like **QED** came back from the fucking dead or something.

Congratulations, crotchstain. Your content-free drivel has just earned you a spot on my ignore list. In 10 years, you’re the only one I have ever put on there. That’s how fucking worthless you are.

You say that as if it’s supposed to hurt me.

What hurts me is your continual inability to post anything that is even vaguely interesting. I chalk this up to your poor social skills and sad lack of both wit and verve.

Don’t you have an OP about Sarah Palin or people who drive slower than you to post, you vacuous gimp?

Well color me hurt :rolleyes:. I’m glad you felt the need to inform me of that, and that you added a sound effect.

Gratz.

I do so have Verve, I have all their albums. I look forward to “The Wit and Wisdom of ivn1188, Pit Policeman,” coming out in paperback wherever fine books are sold, very soon.

What are you pitting, **luci**? What’s the behavior we’re supposed to revile? I don’t trust Republican senators either - would you let one babysit your kids?

I gotta agree with **ivn1188** here. Why do we need to have a new pit thread every time someone who makes a living saying outlandish things says something outlandish?

Sorry, I’m not getting this. Beck says he thinks this guy might have a little problem with the ladies. He’s probably right!

This is an example of your poor critical thinking skills.

If you are merely stating the obvious, then you have provided zero insight, and thus are simply posting things about as interesting as “There’s weather outside.”

So, which is it: are you trying to be snarky and denying it, or did you actually just admit that you really don’t have anything to contribute? It’s one or the other, I am afraid.

OK, I listened to the audio just out of morbid curiosity, and just as I thought. These guys are laughing as they say this, and it’s a big, stupid joke about how Brown talked about his daughters being “available”, etc.

I’m just not seeing any “there” here. It’s a stupid joke by a guy who makes his living blathering all day.

It is kind of weird that Brown pimped out his daughters like that. I have to agree with Beck on this one. This guy should be monitored.

Actually, Beck might be onto something with the ankle bracelet. It might not be a bad to put ankle bracelets on everyone in Congress, just as a matter of course.

Maybe we should title it “Outlandish media personality is outlandish.”

No, I rather enjoy watching him struggle against his failed hopes and dreams.

I thought the crack about his daughters was very awkward, but understandable, he was probably elated and not thinking clearly.

I wonder who the first RW pundit will be to make a joke about Barney Frank being attracted to Scott Brown.

Limbaugh and Coulter are the favorites, I’m putting my money on the dark horse, George Will.

George Will, with a tasteless gay joke, in the Situation Room.

You heard it here first.

I like it. It can be the permanent pit thread for all things Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, O’Rielly, and Olbermann.

Yes, I am aware that the vast majority of these guys are right wingers. I don’t care.

Has anyone remarked how Scott Brown looks like Presidential timber yet? Bet Mitt Romney wishes he had had him executed.
