Planet Wingnut News for Tuesday



Monday morning, Don Imus had his first show on the Fox Business Network, where he hosted Glenn Beck. At one point they joked about how their friendship might turn sour, with Beck commenting, “If I’m found dead in the streets, it’s either Van Jones or Don Imus.” Imus then asked Beck about his successes and highlighted some of the underlying tensions in the conservative movement:
IMUS: So you’re on the cover of Time magazine, your book’s number one I’ve noticed this week.
BECK: Yeah. It’s gone well.
IMUS: Sean Hannity, Rush, they both hate you.
Beck: No. No, they don’t.
IMUS: They all hate you.
BECK: No they don’t, no they don’t. Why must you stir up the hate?
IMUS: You’re telling me Rush is happy you’re on the cover of Time?
BECK: Yeah, I actually got a note from Rush.
IMUS: What did Rush say?
BECK: “I hate you.” (LAUGHTER) No, you know what? Rush has been really very gracious. The whole time, he has. He really has.

Bachmann: Pelosi Will "Bludgeon" Blue Dogs "To Death"
Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) suggests House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will stop at nothing to enforce party unity when it comes to health care reform. Asked on Fox News radio Monday how she thinks Pelosi will handle Blue Dog opposition to what the show host called "the federal government mandating medicare for everyone under the age of 65," Bachmann said the speaker will either "beat" the conservative Democrats "to death", "bludgeon them to death" or "buy them off" with earmarks.
