Glenn Beck Slams Softball Questioning Of Sotomayor... But There Were No Questions Today (VIDEO)

Glenn Beck is very upset with the softball questions that the Senators offered up to Judge Sonia Sotomayor during her first day of confirmation hearings. To prove his point, Beck played a video montage of Democratic senators praising Sotomayor, notably in statements and not questions.

Unfortunately for Beck, there were no questions today. The first day of the hearings is when Senators and the nominee make opening statements.

Beck did include one clip of a GOP senator, Lindsey Graham, telling Sotomayor "unless you have a complete meltdown, you're gonna get confirmed. And I don't think you will." Beck ridiculed Graham for this: "Does anybody remember when Lindsey Graham wasn't a worm?"

Glen, ya' gotta' learn to get your informatio­n correct.

Try reading and if that doesn't work, watch anything but Fox to know what's going on during these hearings.

He also says that she one of the most overturned­. She isn't at all. The other man does acknowledg­e that she is rarely reviewed, but then goes on to cancel out that rare bit of honesty and understand­ing.

The only legal terminolog­y he understood all day long was oral argument.

Am I the only one that noticed they labeled Chuck Schumer as an Illinois Senator? Fact checking clearly means nothing to these people.

The odds that Glenn Beck's audience would watch even one minute of the actual confirmati­on hearing is pretty slight. Ya gotta admit, he know's his audience..­.

lol, that's too funny. Unfortunat­ely a lot of uneducated people get their news from him and he's obviously not qualified to provide it. So, considerin­g his ratings, unless he clarifies that on his show tonight, things like this really worry me. He's too popular to just laugh at. Altho I do laugh at him.

There is a great term that may have been accidental­ly hijacked recently but is perfect for describing people like Glenn Beck. That term is "twit".

The ultimate softball question: No question at all!

How do you get easier than that?
