Glenn Beck Lashes Out at Sarah Palin: ‘She’s a Clown!’

Glenn Beck is fed up with Sarah Palin, one of the Tea Party’s real heroes. On his radio show on The Blaze yesterday, Beck lashed out at Palin over her apparent support for billionaire businessman Donald Trump. He called John McCain’s former running mate a “clown,” adding: “I’m embarrassed I once supported her.”

Beck:

"I didn’t listen to her speech. Yeah, I’m going to say it. I don’t care what Sarah Palin says any more. Sarah Palin has become a clown. I’m embarrassed that I was once for Sarah Palin. Honestly, I’m embarrassed."

That’s strong and powerful, but it becomes even worse (or better depending on your take on Palin):

"Why do I say that about Sarah Palin? ‘How can you say that about Sarah Palin?’ Because I don’t know who she is any more, I don’t know what she stands for. I saw a clip of her talking to Donald Trump. What the hell is that? I don’t even know who she is any more. I don’t know what she stands for. I don’t know. She doesn’t know what I stand for. We had a falling out long ago because she listened to people who were lying to her about me. Fine. Don’t care. I don’t care."

Beck went on to say that he “doesn’t care” about politicians anymore. To him, this is about America’s future — or even the world’s future — not about scoring cheap political points with one (imagined) base or another. At the same time he believes that people like Palin and Trump only play political games.

I don't listen to Beck on the radio any longer, our local guy Michael Berry is the new up & comer and a hoot.

Y'all might be surprised to learn that Michael Berry has said this same thing about Palin. In fact, it was because I was searching the 'net to find his remarks from a year or so ago (don't hold me to the exact time frame) that brought me to this exchange here on FR.

I can't remember the occasion that prompted Berry's comments, but all the usual suspects were swooning over Palin's "performance," and Berry was having none of it. It was something Palin and Berry were in complete agreement about, but he believed that she hadn't presented the issue well. He dissed her accent, her silly cutesiness and her screechy voice and believed she was more of a negative than a positive for the cause. In short, he was pretty much over the fascination with Sarah Palin.

There are plenty of times when Michael Berry gets on my last nerve because he can be such a jackass know-it-all, but this was one of the times I was in full agreement with him. Even said it out loud in my car! And yes, I've been known to talk back to the radio. :)
