'The Overton Window': Glenn Beck Responds To Washington Post's Negative Review Of His Book (VIDEO)

Washington Post:

I was flattered to learn that Glenn Beck read my review of his new book "The Overton Window" and even took time to remark upon it during his morning radio show. But I wish he had read the review a little more carefully because he refers to things in it that weren't there.

Didn't Glen Beck go on tour about a year ago or so..He only sold like 20% of the seats in Boston. He had to cancel a bunch of bookings.

At least it back in the stupid days were 50% voters for BUSH..this proves the Stupidity level has gone down somewhat. There's are a few of them around kicking and whining - leftovers who haven't woken up yet. Glen Beck is one of them

Speaking of Glen Beck's birth day, there may be more to his story that I thought. What if an alien spacecraft dropped Glen through "The Ovarian Window" and that is how we got stuck with him?

Mr. Beck typically sees things that aren't there, so no surprise...

I must agree with the critic. The pieces of prose quoted from the book were indeed painful.

O cool. I am going to buy this book right away!

Beck's ghostwriter Jack Henderson will be gratified I'm sure.

Glenn Beck wrote a book??
Wow.
I have a pet chimp. Maybe I should leave a typewriter in his cage and see what I come-up with.

Poor Beck. He really needs to STAY in Detox this time. For my progressive friends, I offer this.

"But I wish he had read the review a little more carefully because he refers to things in it that weren't there."

This is in keeping with much of Beck's commentary...born of convenience and wrought to support questionable ends. As proven over and over again, lunacy sells.

I enjoy stories like "The Overton Window" and like "The Road" because I really believe that there is a chance that such things can/will happen at some point. Sunshine and lollipops is for teleprompters.

Teleprompters are machines. I don't think they feel much of anything.

Please don't group Glenn Beck in with the likes of Cormac McCarthy.
