Glenn Beck really steps in it this time...

Never quite dawns on Glenn Beck that it was RELIGIOUS, not scientific leaders who censored Galileo.

But it is not just Cuomo who is on the wrong side of history; so are supporters of Common Core and even Bill Nye, because, according to Beck, his opposition to teaching Creationism makes him no different from those who tried to silence Galileo:

He got a pretend degree from a pretend university and lost his mind. Now he thinks he is a some kind of educator and has backing from his silly honorary degree.

So OF COURSE he takes his own argument and turns it inside out. Glenn Beck is a super idiot. One of the few super idiots alive.

4. And the Super-Duper Dupey Dupes think he's smart.

That's the frustrating part of it. There are people who think he's smart. It's one thing to laugh at an idiot, that's all fun and games. It's quite another to deal with people who look up to him. I have an acquaintance who just loves him some Beck. And Hannity.

HANNITY@!@!!!

7. Do we assume that Ronald McDonald is an idiot because his commercials are surreal?

Or do we assume he's selling hamburgers?

I think Beck is selling ignorance to the ignorant, and perhaps auditioning for a return to serious wingnut welfare.

Nor have I ever thought of someone as an idiot for being surreal. I think you are right about Glenn, maybe he realizes it is so easy to fool a large group of people all the time that there is easy money to be made.

I'd rather eat a warm McDonald's hamburger, than listen or watch five seconds of Glenn Beck.

10. If Bill Nye can be accused of anything . . . .

. . . . it's being far too accommodating to people that took too many voluntary extra-rough tumbles down Mount Dumbass.
