Over at How the World Works, Salon's Andrew Leonard has a post about Sean Hannity calling the stimulus package "the European socialist act of 2009." Which, even for Hannity, is pretty ridiculous. But now I understand why he did it -- clearly, he was just trying to keep up with his newest colleague, Glenn Beck.
On his show last night, Beck went even more overboard than he usually does, dubbing a segment about the stimulus and President Obama's signing of new S-CHIP legislation "Comrade Update." (The r was backwards for some reason, but I'm not even going to try figuring out the HTML for that one.) The segment also featured a prominently placed hammer and sickle, and the crawl at the bottom of the page was in Russian.
Video is below. One word of warning -- this may be the dumbest television I've ever seen. And I used to watch "The Real World."
War Room is written and edited by Alex Koppelman, with contributions from Salon reporters around the country.
