Conservative radio host Glenn Beck asked his listeners on Wednesday to consider Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum because he could be "the next George Washington."

"I don’t endorse candidates, I don't get involved in politics," the former Fox News host declared. "Rick Santorum is a friend of mine, but I choose my friends carefully and I would never tell you someone was a friend of mine if I didn’t have great respect for them."

"People ask me all the time, ‘who is out there?’ I tell them the same thing, I don’t trust any of them, but if I had to trust the reins of power with one person that is currently in this field and, because I think the next president has got to be Abraham Lincoln," he continued.

"The temptation and the pressure is going to be absolutely enormous. If there is one guy out there that is the next George Washington, the only guy that I could think of is Rick Santorum. I would ask that you would take a look at him."

By the end of the day, Santorum had emailed the video to supporters, asking them to donate at least $30 to his struggling campaign.

After reading that a fit of laughter just overtook me.

He doesn't endorse anyone but if asked who he recommends he promptly suggests Santorum as the next Geo Washington, What a freakin' slap in the face to George Washington.

Why hasn't Beck jumped into the race? He's just crazy enough to fit in perfectly.


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

The spit-take reflex was almost imediate. I had coffee dripping down the screen before I even finished reading the headline. It only made me think of another brown frothy liquid and it just reinforced Santorum's real legacy.

Does little Ricky have wooden dentures too?

To me, getting Beck's approval is like getting a political disease that will never go away. A lifetime of taint.

There's no reason to insinuate Santorum rapes dogs. That comparison's a little bit mean and unfair to dog rapists, don't you think?

...rapes dogs, we have no proof but why are all these people speculating that he does?

It think that by now everyone should be able to see that Glenn Beck never stopped using drugs and drinking.

So Santorum successfully won a war, even though he's also a chicken-hawk? How does that work?

because I think the next president has got to be Abraham Lincoln," he continued.

Sooo, is boy-on-dog the one with the wooden teeth or the lead in the head?

This drunk lost his train of thought within one minute. Washington owned slaves, Lincoln freed the slaves, so they are basically the same person.

I don't know if it's true, but someone told me that Washington could crush a walnut between the thumb and forefinger on his sword hand. In other words, he had tremendous physical strength. Rick, on the other hand, not so much.

recently heard coming from the gen.'s grave.

If the first George Washington had been Rick Santorum, I'm not sure there'd be a USA. He's not exactly a person to rally behind.

Lobbyistless's picture

but he will have to join the military first and fight in a few wars. That's real easy to do these days, since we have so many wars to choose from. If he is lucky, maybe he will get the Australia gig, though I think he should have to do some Middle East duty.

are doubly blessed:

- we did manage to finally get rid of Sen. Rickie a couple years ago (tho' the other fools elected Toomey in '10); and,

- the local AM talk radio station dropped the Beckster AND Shamity earlier this year. Yahoo.

and it makes sense to ask B*tsh*t Beck "who is out there" - nobody is more "out there" than our favorite nutcase Glennie!

What were you doing last night, Glennn?

May be George Washington. If we need a Lincoln, what good would lil Ricky be as George ? Beck is just flippin nuts.

Tax the Rich's picture

The party of backwards racist ignoramouses needs another Lincoln? yeah, he would go over real big today.

Washington was truly a great man, and couldn't wait to get the hell out of the presidency. He could have been made King but said "nah' no thanks."

Could you imagine what a POS like Santorum would do if he could become King, let alone president.

These people have been so stupid for so long, that nothing they say or propose anymore surprises me.

What a joke!

Politics is EXACTLY what this pathetic excuse for a human being is all about. A very nasty and destructive kind of politics.

Wonder how much money(or prescription meds) Beck was paid for that little nugget??? Get it? Nugget as in gold nugget. HaHaHa...

The Glenn Beck Review's picture

I suspect that Beck is simply hot for Santorum.

I have reasons for this suspicion. If I'm right, that makes Beck a hypocrite (again).

If I'm wrong, then Beck's sense of humor is bizarre at best.

The Glenn Beck Review's picture

I can grasp why MSM would call Beck "conservative," but he is not in the least interested in maintaining the status quo.

Glenn Beck is a reactionary, and C & L ought to spell that out.

But I want to be the first on my block to own the new gold coin that Dreck is gonna market, with Dick Santorum on the front and George Washington on the back. It should be worth a lot less than it's weight in gold if you know what I mean.

the snows of Valley Forge so that come spring he could renew the fledgeling nattion's fight for liberty and freedom.

Not.

How ever, Washington and his troops may have been the first OWSer of the the good ol' US.
