No that this should come as any surprise to anyone paying attention, but perusing Digg.com today I came across this Washington Monthly story:
Here is Glenn Beck’s quote from last fall:
“[W]e are in the middle of an all-out financial emergency, and emergencies have a way of really testing people.
“In normal times, under normal circumstances, if you tune in to me, you know me as somebody who would tell the federal government exactly where to take their bailout plans and shove it right up their you-know-what. But these are anything but normal times.
“I thought about it an awful lot this weekend, and while it takes me — it takes everything in me to say this, I think the bailout is the right thing do.
“The ‘Real Story’ is: The $700 billion that you’re hearing about now is not only, I believe, necessary, it is also not nearly enough, and all of the weasels in Washington know it.”
But I dont want to pick on Beck alone. MANY people from both sides of the aisle were in favor of this bailout… including Obama. I single out Beck simply because of the hypocrisy of his statement from last fall in contrast to his current “Teabagger” claptrap.
That, and he’s a douchebag!
