Some great news for four lucky cities out there, as Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly are teaming up for the “Bold and Fresh Tour 2010.” Yes, because nothing says “bold and fresh” like two old white guys. No news on what other white supremacists they’ll be traveling with. Hey, here’s a suggestion, guys, if you need another bold and fresh old white guy, Lou Dobbs has some free time on his hands, why not get him as your warm-up act (Lou’s apparently not on the Sarah Palin campaign bus, but he hates Mexicans, so the teabaggers ought to accept him)? The Dynamic Duo will be heading to Westbury, New York (the “Levittown section” of Westbury, no doubt), Tampa, Florida, North Charleston, South Carolina, and Norfolk, Virginia (I guess that constitutes the teabagger “Borscht Belt”). Sorry, Kevin, but the Tampa show is already sold out.
Speaking of Bold and Fresh, former Klansman (hey, he said he was sorry about that; joining the Klan in the 30’s and 40’s in West Virginia was kinda like joining the Rotary Club), and supposed distant relative of mine on my mother’s side, Robert Byrd, has now officially become the longest serving member of Congress, having served in the House and Senate for almost 57 years. When I think of Robert Byrd, I think of his eloquent and courageous speech in opposition to giving Dubya the authority to invade Iraq.
Oh well, time to go be a productive American.
