Wingnut Meltdown

Got this email from Brendan:
Oh man. I spent the AM listening to the Glenn Beck show, post-Super Tuesday.
If you didn’t listen to right-wing radio this AM, you missed some great schadenfreude. Put it this way: it started with Beck saying that conservatives have three choices now: “to park the car in the garage with the engine running; to try to understand just HOW this happened; or to rally round McCain like a bunch of good little puppets– AND I’M NOT GONNA DO THAT!!!”
Then there was a diatribe about how Beck had been “so wrong” about George W. Bush being a conservative, listing W’s crimes against the party in a voice that grew louder and louder with every bullet point, until he was practically shrieking.
After a brief rant about midgets (apparently, by Beck’s own account, he melted down on CNN last night), Beck went on an uninterrupted 15-minute rant about “what I believe as a conservative”. When I pulled into the parking lot at work 20 minutes ago, he was still going and for all I know he’s STILL losing his marbles. The best part was that nothing he said made sense. It was like listening to one of those crazy derelict people that walk through Philadelphia having intense, angry conversations with someone who only exists in their imagination.
He was like the crazy cat lady from the Simpsons, or my kid having a
temper tantrum..I am SO excited to listen to Hannity this evening on the way home. It is going to be even better.
check out rush limbaugh. he’s losing his shit.
The reason they’re going crazy is they don’t want McCain to have a chance to win in November. Not because he’s not a good little toe the middle ages line of so-called conservatism, but because they, and especially Rush, want a President Hillary. The work best with a target to rant against daily and for them 8 years of Bush has muted their voice to an extent.
Some of the yahoos on the local Raleigh station were calling McCain a *socialist* as they were going nuts on them. I had to pull off of the side of the road and pinch myself to make sure I hadn’t lost my mind.
