 BobbyRutan says: More: Fair enough. That’s cable television for you. On to a bigger question: Does Beck know what he’s talking about? Absolutely not, says Christopher Knight, an art critic (a real one) for the Los Angeles Times. Beck was as “nutty as usual,” Knight wrote: He pointed to a portrait of Lenin in Mexican master Diego Rivera’s destroyed Rockefeller lobby mural, “Man at the Crossroads,” but forgot to mention that old John D. had the mural removed because of it.

He needs to learn a lesson about how to handle them commies from our ex-Pres: George Bush gets a call from NASA: "Mr. President! The Russians have landed on the Moon!"

The third day, they assault him: "Mr.President, we have to do something, they already painted half of the Moon red!" Bush doesn't give much attention to all the noise and fuss around him... The fourth day, the US Congress starts a meeting on the subject, accu... That last picture of Beck is priceless. |
