If a network talk show host can be described as an unabashed attention whore, that would be Glenn Beck. Beck stuck his foot in his mouth when he referred to Barack Hussein Obama as a racist on Fox and Friends yesterday. His outburst makes no sense when you consider that Obama is half white and probably hates his black side more than he does the white one.
Beck will probably have to answer to Fox network brass for putting them in the uncomfortable position of having to distance themselves from his remarks. But don’t expect Beck to be fired or even reprimanded any time soon. Beck has attracted millions of viewers to his show on Fox News since he made the jump from CNN in January. By the way, pro-Obama CNN sits at the bottom of the network news rankings.
