Life isn't long enough to keep track of the dumb things said by Glenn Beck, still this may hold some kind of record.

Life isn't long enough to keep track of the dumb things said by Glenn Beck, still this may hold some kind of record. The linked blogpost is mostly offended that Beck calls Dutch MP Geert Wilders a fascist. Even more amazing to my ears however was what comes immediately before that: the section in which Beck predicts a challenge to French President Nicolas Sarkozy led by that sinister figure from the French far right ... Dominique de Villepin!

This is a little like a French radio host warning his audience of the danger of an American populist upsurge led by the notorious demagogue, John Kerry.
