I think Mike is attempting to compare Glenn with Limbaugh in his salad days, flying higher than a U-2, swinging like Tarzan and playing more sweet music than Charlie Parker himself. A friend once took me to task for even mentioning Limbaugh's name in the same sentence as the name Parker. But, there is no denying that Rush did his best work, flying like the Bird himself on Oxycontin.
But even though Rush had little to offer, Beck at his best gives us even less. Since he has been dropped from FOX, I, myself, have little motivation to hate him. He is like a small piece of paper or plastic dropped on a sidewalk. Nothing there except something to sweep away with a broom.
I've never given Beck much attention, other than to note a disturbing book cover in which he posed in a uniform that looked a lot like an SS officer's--and I'm working from memory here, so it could have been someone else. Blowhards don't interest me and usually don't warrant much alarm, either.
How something like that will be interpreted depends on the viewer. Mikeb, do you have a point here?

It's refreshing to hear you say something of absolutely no importance, relevance or intelligence whatsoever to anybody at all.
DeleteI hate it when you talk about anything that matters.
You mean like "Bird" getting high? That kind of relevance?
