Beck calls Santorum ‘the next George Washington’
By David Edwards
Thursday, November 17, 2011

Conservative radio host Glenn Beck asked his listeners on Wednesday to consider Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum because he could be “the next George Washington.”

“I don’t endorse candidates, I don’t get involved in politics,” the former Fox News host declared. “Rick Santorum is a friend of mine, but I choose my friends carefully and I would never tell you someone was a friend of mine if I didn’t have great respect for them.”

“People ask me all the time, ‘who is out there?’ I tell them the same thing, I don’t trust any of them, but if I had to trust the reins of power with one person that is currently in this field and, because I think the next president has got to be Abraham Lincoln,” he continued.

“The temptation and the pressure is going to be absolutely enormous. If there is one guy out there that is the next George Washington, the only guy that I could think of is Rick Santorum. I would ask that you would take a look at him.”

1. does Santorum have false teeth?
Outside of that, I can't think of how Santorum is anything like George Washington.

Nope, not even close.

9. Only one similarity between Washington and Santorum:
Both stayed in Pennsylvania occasionally while living in Virginia.

Of course, Washington was here to defeat the British. Rick Santorum was only here to defeat himself.

18. What Glenn Beck is really saying........
Edited on Fri Nov-18-11 09:32 AM by LynneSin
Conservative radio host Glenn Beck asked his listeners on Wednesday to consider Republican presidential candidate the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex because it could be “the next George Washington.”

“I don’t endorse candidates, I don’t get involved in politics,” the former Fox News host declared. “The frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex is a friend of mine, but I choose my friends carefully and I would never tell you someone was a friend of mine if I didn’t have great respect for them.”

“People ask me all the time, ‘who is out there?’ I tell them the same thing, I don’t trust any of them, but if I had to trust the reins of power with one person that is currently in this field and, because I think the next president has got to be Abraham Lincoln,” he continued.

“The temptation and the pressure is going to be absolutely enormous. If there is one guy out there that is the next George Washington, the only guy that I could think of is the frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex . I would ask that you would take a look at it.”

19. Yes, I remember reading Washington's man on dog speech
to his troops at Valley Forge. Lot's of similarities.

22. He was in the asylum known as Fox News and was so unhinged they kicked him out.
He now resides on the mountain top known as conservative talk radio and bays full voice at the moon. On a full moon he gets particularly loud and he is heard by others.
