"Todd, don't destroy this. Are you guys strong enough? Just be really careful, man. This is bad."

[Amerigo Vespucci]

It pains me to inform everyone that Fox News' Glenn Beck claims to have not had a good time at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, but we'll wait to see if he documents his feelings on YouTube the way he did his ass-surgery, just for the sake of comparison.

People like me, who are foolish enough to receive his newsletter, got the full transcript of his discussion of the ordeal from his radio show today. President Barack Obama was "robotic," but "a very good speaker," and "funny," all the same. Like a Terminator built by ACORN that makes fun of Rahm Emanuel, I guess.

Glenn apparently was very impressed by Todd Palin:

Todd Palin came up. He was very nice. He's a normal human being. And I said, Todd, don't destroy this ... Don't destroy your family, don't destroy your family. Are you guys strong enough as a family to weather this slime? And he said, "I think so. I think so." And I said, just be really careful, man. This is just bad, this is bad stuff here. And he said, "Oh, I know, I know." But he was very optimistic and he was a good guy. And normal, just normal.

Yep. Just a normal guy from Alaska at a party on the other side of the country without his spouse and with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren as his official political handler. Things don't get more normal than that.

9. Man, I'm gross. I really thought he was warning him about running around on his wife with Greta.

10. Who Cares what Glenn the human scrotal sac Beck has to say?

Seriously. The guy looks like a fuzzy set of balls in a tux.

[anigbrowl]

11. I wonder why Beck feels the need to say everything twice

I only talk like that when I'm drunk.

[spoony]

15. That stood out to me, too.

And apparently it's contagious because Palin started doing it talking to him, lol. Or, Beck's making up dialogue. Both are believable.

[Marr]

12. Those people are so "over".

Really- do they not realize how old news they are? Glenn Beck, Palin, all the rest... all these whining, bitching, bitter little Conservatives... they're like parachute pants. You look at them and breathe a sigh of relief that they've gone so far out of style.

13. The CSPAN camera cut to Beck a few times. He looked miserable.
