Glenn Beck: "You Ever Just Pictured Ted Kennedy Naked?"
On the January 28 edition of his CNN Headline News program, while discussing Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's (D-MA) endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), Glenn Beck asked Republican strategist Amy Holmes, "[Y]ou ever just pictured Ted Kennedy naked?" Holmes responded, "Is that when you're supposed to be talking to a crowd? I thought you were supposed to picture yourself naked." Beck continued: "I don't know when but sometimes, you know, that picture with him with his shirt off just kind of pops into your head. And you're like, 'OK, I won't have children now.' "
Beck began their discussion of Kennedy's endorsement by asking, "How much weight does an endorsement from Ted Kennedy carry? Wow, that was a cheap joke." Holmes later referenced this comment, stating: "And so throwing his weighty support, as you put it, behind Barack Obama is actually meaningful in a practical sense."
