Congratulations To Blue Gal!
By Nicole Belle Thursday Jun 28, 2007 2:02pmOur buddy Blue Gal, along with fellow bloggers from The Largest Majority, BlueMan, MonkeyMuck, Dandelion Salad, Peace Garden, Quaker Dave, PhydeauxSpeaks and The Hermit with Davis Fleetwood, got mad as hell at the stupidity that regularly spews from the mouth of Glenn Beck (aren't we all?).
When Beck started opining on relationship between the presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich and his wife, in that stupid, frat boy way that only he can do, he went just too far in debasing political debate and they created this video, which YouTube has recognized as one of the most viewed videos yesterday.

John Edwards!
Gotta love the "black hole" statement.
Blue Gal is surprisingly two-dimensional.
A great video! Station Agent posted it as well, at IST, under the hilarious title, "Glenn Beck Gives His Hand Roofies." That's what blogging is all about. Way to go Blue Gal, The Largest Majority, Monkey Muck, et al.
:)
While I am definitely mad as h-e-double hockey sticks at Glenn Beck, and while I am a Kucinich supporter, I cannot take credit - nor should I be given any - for anything having to do with this video, other than the fact that I support every word in it and I posted it on my blog as soon as it became available.
Dennis Kucinich is so hot that it makes anal retentive troglodytes wonder how he was able to bag an intelligent hottie.
Glenn Beck is so not that he can only play with himself below the crawl thinking how lucky of a guy Kucinich is.
Blue Gal is so hot she gives me blue ball.
[Deleted. Have anything of substance to contribute? Never mind now. You are out of here-Sitemonitor]
I hate Glenn Beck and he deserves to spend eternity getting bitch slapped in hell by all the people he disparages. I also think Kucinch has great ideas.
But, it's another for you commenters to say you actually liked this video. I was so creeped out by it I didn't even make it all the way through. Seriously, just because it comes from the left and endorses our point of view, doesn't mean we need to respect stuff like this.
No one thinks this is absolutely awful?
I am from Ohio and have been a fan of Dennis Kucinich for years. Dennis for President. Glenn Beck for asshole of the year!
Davis Fleetwood is my hero.
J.C. -- I think it's absolutely awful.
Glenn Beck is another psychotic Reich Wingnut, like Mann Coulter.
Why are these people on the air? I can remember when tv networks had standards. They wouldn't allow this kind of garbage on the air. But that all stopped in 2001.
Mann Coulter was kicked off MSNBC in 2000 for insulting a candidate. But now in 2007, she insults candidates and stays on the air. Networks have no standards anymore.
Painful for me to watch, almost funny. Glenn Beck is sophomoric--he doesn't know he's
funnyridiculous.Beck is a prime example of a conservative repugnacan, he appeals to the lowest common denominator. His typical viewer has roughly three dimly flickering brain cells and can't understand anything deeper than 8th grade humor.
ROFL! Thanks to those who made this and shared it! It goes to show, the more the likes of Beck and Coulter spew their increasingly idiotic vitriol, the more attention it draws to the very people they ridicule! Time to join Elizabeth Edwards and fight back! A good lesson for Democratic leadership to learn.
"Almost twice as hot as Billy Crytstal" lol
Bor-ing.
I like the guy, but I have to agree with some that this was awful -- a snore. (If they picked up the pace of the editing, maybe it would have been a little funny.)
I'm sorry to say I couldn't watch it either - just not good. That said, Beck is a slime. I appreciate the effort - just think Dennis should have something better.
As stupid and pointless as Beck and his comments are, Dennis Kucinich is a boob from Ohio and although he presents a pretty rosy and lofty ideology one must remember that he is still, a boob from Ohio. If you require more embellishment, plan your next vacation in Cleveland, Akron, Ravenna, Columbus and Cincinnati and spark up a conversation with the locals! I have hope that Al Gore will run while the opportunity to use the power of the presidency to implement a sound American policy to effectively combat global warming, provide clean and renewable energy and restore some ecological reality. The planet is (literally) dying to realize a true leader in this fight.
Beck's an idiot, but the video's painfully dull.
OK, Dennis would probably run practical, pragmatic, honorable, decent, sustainable, etc. circles around any other candidate. But HOT? Ummmm... No.
We will only win this one if the candidates call the Repugnicans out for all their lies, corruption, and the damage they've done to this country. Issues are absolutely critical, but most Americans don't know their head from their asses and they'll vote for the person who connects with them. The one they FEEL good about, not the smartest one. (sad state of affairs, I think).
If Dennis gets out there and hammers on the Repugs, he'll have a chance. If he plays nice, he'll get tossed out. Americans taken as a whole don't pay attention to the long term impact of policy decisions. They react emotionally, so you need to connect emotionally. As smart and as good as I think Dennis would be, he's not a guy who most Americans would want to "have a beer with."

I have hope that Al Gore will run while the opportunity to use the power of the presidency to implement a sound American policy to effectively combat global warming, provide clean and renewable energy and restore some ecological reality can still be realized. Sorry, my Ohio upbringing must have made it's way into the message. Thank God for California!
Beck sounds like he really hopes that a date rape drug exists that will impair a woman's judgment without knocking her out.
Who exactly watches or listens to Glenn Beck? When I first saw him on CNN I immediately couldn't stand him. And why does CNN keep someone so unworthy of airtime?
I too couldn't watch the whole thing as it was too dull. Just because having a webcam doesn't make you into a journalist.
Smack_dab @ 23:
The shits-for-brains at Little Green Noballs think he's a god.
He opposed the War in Iraq from the start because he knew the WMD's were in his pants.
Classic.
video = ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Dennis Kucinich will never be Prez...
No one can figure out how to say his last name.
Hey... HEY. Let's not insult frat boys by comparing them to Glenn Beck. Not even frat boys deserve that!
I just think it's unfortunate that in a video about the inanity of current journalism, they took the inanity in the opposite direction - praising Kucinich's looks and "sex appeal". Is that really any better than criticising it?
Insert LOL cat here - "Can we has real nooz now?"
To me, Kucinich will always be the incompetent boy-mayor of Cleveland, and as much as I respect for being consistent on the War, there's just no way I'll vote for the man (in the primary...if by miraculous and/or satanic and/or TM means he actually became the Dem candidate, I'd have to in favor of any of the Republic Party candidates.)
beck should talk? What an ass wipe. I just love these lesser she-mans the neocon arsenal throws out there to soften up the brain dead and trolls in our society.
Keep up the fight beck. Your day in hell is coming.
Intelligent women do find the combination of intelligence and compassion sexy - that's not news. And guys too I guess.
This is why Repugs have so much trouble in their personal lives - endless streams of divorces, affairs or other marital problems, perverted sexual practices, child predation and molestation . . . . Yes, the dems have their share of problems - but they pale in comparison to the repugs.
Republican Values

Let's see a picture of Mormon convert Beck's wife. I mean, who could be stupid enough to marry Beck?
Bit jealous are we, Beck?
Glenn Beck: A Cause for Concern.
Beck and the Repug's are just mad becuase the only tail they can get is Mann Coulter and that's just sad...OH I almost forgot they could also get those two fat whores...oh, what are their names again? they are always bitching about either the 9/11 widows or Cindy Sheehan or the reich wing complaint dejur. when that's the only action you can get it might just be better for these republicans to join Al Queida and shoot for the 72 virgins!
The same as Quaker Dave, I didn't have any direct input into the video - but Lordy, do I like it. The point of the video, if I remember the discussion correctly, is to point out that Kucinich is indeed a candidate and that only 35% of Americans even know who he is. He may not be electable, but he (and indeed all of the candidates) deserve equal attention and consideration.
To those of you who discount him, how much do you really know about his positions?
It’s Friday and I Love Blogs
Over at Publius Pundit, they ask the question Is TV Political Analysis Biased? After a lengthy introduction on how the Sunday morning news options are controlled by Democratic operatives, you get to select whether the left or the right control THE MEDI...
I appreciate what they were attempting, but the video is pretty awful. Lifeless, mechanical reading (like worse adult versions of the voice actors in the old "Peanuts" cartoons). Beck is another fuckwitted scumbag who says hateful, stupid things (like Coulter earlier this week), but again, he's irredeemable. This kind of rebuttal is maybe necessary, but seeing something this lame doesn't do wonders for Democrats. It makes them look kind of feeble. Kucinich is a good man, but I think he'd make a terrible president. You have to be a little bit of a bastard to be an effective leader. Not a total bastard, like the one we've got, but there has to be an element of that for strong leadership. When Kucinich was on Bill Maher's show a couple months back and said there's no justification for war, ever, he showed he was unfit to lead. War should be the last resort, but sometimes it's necessary and someone who doesn't feel that way is too crunchy-granola to be The Prez.
it had a good point....but it wasnt all that funny. lol, sorry.
Fingerbo @ 39:
that's a pretty sad view you have of our leaders...I would say a leader needs to be Courageous and Decisive, but a bastard? even in the loosest sense of the word being a bastard doesn't make you a good leader, and we could do a lot better...I think you should hold a higher standard for someone you would follow.
I didn't like it at first, but it got so absurd after the halfway point that I realized where they were going and I found myself laughing out loud a few times. Yeah, so they're not actors. Some of the jokes were hilarious.
Dahgrostab'ph-r-i @ 41:
Maybe bastard is the wrong word. Or too strong. But a peacenik like Kucinich is the wrong fit for the job of president. I wish we could have someone like him in the job, but we can't. I concede that bastard was the wrong word. I was thinking more along the lines of toughness, not sliminess (obviously). But there has to be an element of flintiness. It's not a job where softness is a virtue. Empathy, yes. Sensitivity, yes. Nuance, yes. Ethics, most definitely. But Kucinich is soft. One reason I think Clinton was so good was because at his core I think he's a decent man, but he can be hard when needed. Still, I'll own up to a degree of cynicism.
i thought it sucked,,,but it does draw attention to Kusinich..which is a good thing..if he keeps pushing Impeachment,he'll get more votes
Oh sweet mercy... I'm still laughing.
Somebody already mentioned the Billy Crystal line, but my other favorite was, "you know, when they can't get panda bears to mate, they dress one of them up like Dennis Kucinich..."
The only thing I can say about Glen Beck is that he's a waste of breathable oxygen.
I am very happy the blogosphere exists to rip people like Coulter and Beck another hole but honestly, I put them in the same bag with Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and whoever those people are who keep shoving various body parts in front of tv cameras. They're all attention seekers and they give me plenty of opportunity to exercise my option to change the channel or the link.
The video looks like the kind of thing we used to put together when we were all stoned. Maybe that's what it needs?
Sorry, didn't work on me. It was pretty dead.
Blue Gal was hot, though.
Milo
Journalism in America, reduced to two frat boys discussing the fuckability quotient of a presidential candidate comes as no surprise.
and to think, i thought they said Bill Kristol.
boy, you guys are a tough crowd!
Thanks to those who had nice things to say about the anime babe that Manila Ryce did for this video. It was done to protect my anonymity which is pretty funny in itself since it looks just like me.
Who knows, maybe next time I won't be so animated. ha.
Thanks for posting this, Nicole!!!
Well done, Blue Gal!
I also cannot take any credit for the making of this video. I am a 35 Percenter, and will post all the videos on my blog. Cheers to those who did make the film!
Who at CNN gets paid off to give this drip air time? Or does he work on his knees?
Hi,
It's me, one of the guys in the video. I just wanted t say to the person who commented that we complained about crappy media portrayal of image as god in politics and that we did the same thing, but in a different veign. Well, the point of it is to be satirical, as you can see from the end of the video. The point is not that Dennis is a sexy man that turns straight men gay, but that the media focuses on image more than policy. It's a parody and a satire, that's the point of the video.
Thanks for the nice comments, and to those that think snappy editing and a more animated cast will improve new videos, we'll get right on it and take your constructive criticism. For most of us, it was a first time thing, so things can only get better.
I do think there were a few good one liners.
All the best,
John
[thanks for your contributions. Where is your video?]
Thanks John,
Pass the message on to the other folks in the video... great job and I'm sure we will be seeing more great things from you.
Oh, and for the ones that thought this video was dull, etc. that's probably 'cause your lives are that way.
And for the ones that think Kucinich is a "peacenik" and too "soft"? I think he kicks ass. He's the only Representative I know of to start things off by filing a three-article bill of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney. That takes some cojones, vato.
JJ @ 57:
I thought that the vid suffered for the lack of some production value, but watched it all the way through and enjoyed it on it's own merits.
Kind of wish that I could help with the making of the next one, in some small way. I know my way around Sony Vegas, for what that's worth.
an awful lot of irony impaired people here complaining about the clip not being exciting enough. idjits! Irony and wit are sexy as Hell. i have an uber crush on bluegal now. she won't have to use a date rape drug on me.
anyone who thought the vid was boring probably thinks books are boring, too unless they have lots and lots of pictures.
hello @ 58:
If you're serious about helping out, you should join the 35Percenters! Send us a message through the YouTube group, or send Manila (Largest Minority) or Bluegal a message through their websites. We're always looking for new people, and if you have some video expertise that's a bonus.
You don't even have to be a huge Dennis Kucinich for Prez supporter to join the group. I'm not, but I believe it's disgraceful that only 35% of registered Dems even know who Kucinich is (according to a Pew poll on 06/04/07). What does this say about our media and our democracy when an honest, passionate, and qualified progressive candidate for president can't even be picked out of a line-up by most people. He might be a "pussy" when it comes to killing people in war, but it would be hard to argue that he's not the most courageous candidate in how he states his views.
production quality of the film left a lot to be desired.
sound, timing, awful.
LOL!
Kucinich is a brilliant, fiery, articulate, passionate speaker. Transcripts of his best speeches literally give me chills. He's ethical, authentic and insightful. All that said, as much as I love the guy, DAYUM Elizabeth is hawt!
:-)

Bill T welcome to the "intelligence is an aphrodisiac" party. Anyone who says "uber crush" is welcome to sit at my table. xo
Beck is a horses ass, with nostrils.
