6. I just watched this from Media Matters- Whoopi "lying sack of dog mess"
Beck is just useless. He flat out made up the entire story.
The television-reliant Pedro Picasso, who finds reading things too much work:

7. Despicable Rush Limbaugh wanna-be. I cannot stand this man.
IMHO, the View ladies were too nice to him.

8. Unfortunately
This won't hurt his ratings. The idiots who watch Beck's show probably don't watch The View. Beck is just a face in the crowd.

13. Yeah he knows it
He can spew whatever he wants to his loyal sheeple, and then come across as "who me?" on a mainstream show like The View. He knows his flock will not even watch this show, or if they do, will probably be crying for him in solidarity against the 'liberal shrews' attacking him.
Why do shows like The View even have these nutjobs on their show, OReily, Ingramm, Hannity. They come on these shows to smooth their images and pretend they are moderate and accommodating to other viewpoints. How often do these blowhards have liberal thinking guests on their shows? They don't because they would get owned.

9. that was entertaining!
god that man is a douche
The Slavic primitive makes me suspicious.
I don't think we're getting the whole story.
Anybody see this video? Is it anything like what the primitives say it is?

12. Beck has boss hair
in my experience, bosses have often had hair just like Beck.

If you mean it was a bunch of yentas who got their panties all in a wad because someone dared talk about them in a less than flattering way, then yeah.

I can't for the life of me find a single point in any of the view women to flatter.
....except the blonde :naughty: conservative, what's-her-name.

That presupposes that there's actually such a thing as a thinking liberal. I'm sure they're out there, but they're almost impossible to find.

You know, I was thinking of something last night, and I wish to God I could find the original source.
When I was a little lad, I had a book of a child's versions of Nebraska folklore. It had a yellow cover, and a rough sketch of a cowboy riding a bison.
There was one story in there, Cowboy Frank and Artist Robbie, but I can't recall all the details. It's been a very long time since I was a little lad, after all.
Anyway, this particular story was placed circa 1870, when one day Artist Robbie, from the eastern coast, stepped off the Union Pacific express at North Platte or Ogallala or Sidney, I forget which. Artist Robbie was all got up with a fancy flamboyant chapeau, ruffles on his shirt, lace on his cuffs, high-stepping patent-leather shoes.
Cowboy Frank, a clean, handsome, pleasant young man, happened to be walking along the depot platform, and spied Artist Robbie. Being of a friendly nature, Cowboy Frank sauntered over to the easterner, extending his hand in friendship, welcoming him to Nebraska.
Artist Robbie sneered upon seeing Cowboy Frank, his nose drooping and dripping in disgust. Just a hayseed, a hick, a nobody, the easterner thought.
Of course, this was 1870, and Nebraska was still brand-new; there hadn't been time enough for anyone to be born and raised in Nebraska. Everybody in Nebraska was from the east. In the case of Cowboy Frank, a graduate of Harvard, in Greek and Romance Languages.
Well, the aloof Artist Robbie didn't want to have anything to do with Cowboy Frank, and spurned the proffered hand of friendship.
However, Cowboy Frank, being a nice guy, decided he'd better keep his eyes on the easterner, to be sure he didn't get into any trouble, and to extricate him if he did.
After which followed a whole series of near-catastophes for Artist Robbie; trying to pay for whiskey with a counterfeit $20 bill, dealing cards in a poker game with a marked deck, trying to steal a horse-and-carriage from the livery-stable, flirting with the saloonkeeper's daughter, rustling cattle, being tied down on the railway tracks in front of an approaching train, those sorts of predicaments.
It was a narrow escape every time, but Cowboy Frank got nothing but contemptuous ingratitude for his pains.
Finally, one night Artist Robbie decided to visit the most notorious madam in town.
Cowboy Frank, knowing her history, advised Artist Robbie such wasn't a good idea, as she gave men diseases respectable people don't get.
Artist Robbie however didn't listen.
When in the bedroom with the notorious madam, the easterner took off all his clothes, the sight at which the red-headed madam suddenly broke out in uncontrollable laughter and mirth at the sight, chortling and giggling as all get out.
Humiliated, Artist Robbie ran outdoors from the bawdy-house, and still in his birthday suit, collided with one of those wooden barrels of liquid tar. All tarred up, he rolled into a nearby chicken coop, the aroused hens smearing him with feathers as they ran away.
The self-tarred-and-feathered easterner got up, just about the same time a whole tribe of Sioux warriors, decked out in paint and warbonnets, riding horses, came down main street. Seeing Artist Robbie, and mistaking him for one of their dread enemies, the Pawnees, the warriors whooped it up, pulled out their tomahawks, and chased him way out into the Sandhills.
Alas, that's all I remember of the story, which was a child's version of Nebraska folklore. I wish I could find that book.

Elizabeth Hasslebeck has a couple of very nice points.

Ooops, I forgot that there's many new here not acquainted with the story of Pedro Picasso.
The above short anecdote, I think, is a wonderful analogy with "Atman"'s experiences when he first showed up at our old home.
The names of course are purely coincidental.

For your own sake, do not google "Cowboy Frank". lol

Yeah, like you've ever been employed. :whatever:
What you call the "boss" is really just the clerk processing your welfare application.

I saw this clip. I was 7 full minutes of Whoopi and Babs attacking a (we learn later in the day) very sick Beck. He said on his radio program that he was on the train going to the WHCD and he was looking for a seat. He was told he couldn't sit in this one area as it was "reserved." He was also told that he would be pleased with who his seatmates in the "reserved" section would be. Then he says Whoopi and Babs got on the train with the show producer. He says Babs came over and said hi, he uses a witchy type voice for Babs, they discuss he is going to be on the program soon, Whoopie glares at him, and that he had never heard of reserved seats on the train. Then, when he goes on, they flip out, call him a liar like a million times and then say he was the one who came up to them, which I was told he corrected on his program the same time as telling the story, by his people, but he had mispoke. Anyway, they accuse him of trying to paint them as elitist or something, he apologises over and over, and says that is what he and his party were told about the seats. Now, see how stupid that was? It was a total waste of time. In a nutshell, they were looking for a way to argue with him, to try to diminish him in any way. Funny how he has much better ratings, isn't it?

You know, frank, that reminds me of something my husband says..."It takes more than a hat and a pair of boots to be a cowboy". I guess he would know. In my POV it takes a hat, a pair of boots, a duster, and nothing else. But I sure as hell wouldn't want to see Pedro in that get up.

You know, madam, this was a massive boo-boo, poor placement, on my part.
The old Nebraska folk-tale I related above should have been put elsewhere, and it explained that it's eerily similar with Pedro Picasso's trip into our old home, and franksolich doing his best to save Pedro Picasso from being banned.
My bad.
Sorry.
