It has less to do with Bauer’s apparent new job in the administration and more to do with freaking the White House out.
Beck has a snitch (maybe more than one) inside the WH, and the whole skit today was his entertaining way of tweaking the noses of Dunn, 0, Emmanuel, Jarrett, etc.
He pre-empted their announcement, maybe even messed up their plan.
And the Rush segment at the end was good, too.
0 and company must hate Beck, as evidenced by their “war” on Fox News.
Hope theirs lots of MAO quotes from him!! Skanky family....got a picture of him?
GOT IT!! Although, I don’t think there is one DECENT PERSON in the White House....NOT ONE. He’s probably been HAD.
Or maybe I'm tired of a week of his teasing his blue screen of death.

Geez, I didn’t pick up on that nuance, but, you are right! He Punk’d the WhiteHouse. I do wish he would stop showing the clip of Anita aka Mao Tse TONGUE. It is nauseating.
I read that Bauer’s firm is the one that BO has hired to hide all his stuff-bc, college records etc.
He did this by bringing new stuff to the table in a clever and entertaining way. I guess he had nothing to say this week, and the Breitbart folks wouldn't let him show their new stuff. Doesn't this surprise you?
ML/NJ
There is an interesting amount of info available (for the moment) on the net.
O'Bammy can't seem to have enough of 'em...
He trumped the WH announcement of Anita Dunn’s husband’s new position within the administration. PRICELESS!!!
Find the remote and try clicking “real news” such as Jeopardy-loser Wolf, tingly Chrissy, or 0-worshiping 0prah.
Yeah, she’s one ugly woman!
Robert Bauer — Obama’s Mouthpiece
Robert Bauer, the chief of the political law group at Perkins Coie, the Seattle law firm hired by the White House to defend Obama in court cases challenging his “natural born” citizenship status in the United States and thus, his eligibility under the U.S. Constitution to be president.
Bauer has done his best to prevent the American public from seeing a wide range of Obama’s records that could prove, or disprove, his eligibility to occupy the Oval Office under the Constitution’s requirement that the president be a “natural born” citizen.
Documents concerning Obama that the White House has refused to release to the public include his long-form birth certificate and his passport records, as well as other records that may possibly be relevant, such as records regarding Obama’s possible adoption by his Indonesian stepfather or college application and tuition financial aid records which would reveal whether Obama was ever registered as a foreign student.
Federal Election Commission records show $1,352,378.95 in payments were made by Obama for America to Perkins Coie while the law firm was representing Obama in various court cases which have sought to obtain Obama’s long-form birth certificate to determine if he is a “natural born” citizen under Article Two, Section 1 of the Constitution.
Bauer, a Democratic Party partisan, has a long history of defending Democratic Party presidential hopefuls.
A biography for Bauer posted on the Perkins Coie website indicates he was general counsel to the Democratic National Committee during the presidential campaign of Sen. John Kerry and that he served as counsel to Sen. Tom Daschle, the Democratic leader in the impeachment trial proceedings of President Bill Clinton.
During the 2008 presidential campaign, Bauer functioned as an “attack lawyer,” threatening with FEC complaints groups wanting to run anti-Obama television ads.
Also during the 2008 presidential campaign, Bauer as counsel for the Obama campaign wrote letters to television station managers and to Department of Justice Assistant Attorney General John Keeney arguing that airing an anti-Obama ad pointing to the known association between Obama and Weather Underground radical Bill Ayers would violate federal election rules.
Also during the 2008 campaign, Bauer intervened on behalf of Obama to block the California-based American Leadership Project from running a television ad campaign over support from unions, including the Service Employees International Union.
Again, Bauer filed a complaint with the FEC alleging that the union-funded television campaign the American Leadership Project planned to run in Indiana against Obama was illegal under federal election laws.
In addition to representing Obama on eligibility cases, Bauer also is hired as legal counsel to represent the president in the criminal probe going on into the activities of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
Last year Bauer was at the center of the controversy over Obama’s decision to reverse course on his promise to accept pubic financing for his presidential campaign after a meeting with Sen. John McCain’s attorney, Trevor Potter, when Bauer claimed McCain did not want to reach a compromise on the issue.
The McCain campaign sharply criticized Bauer’s characterization of the meeting.
It was in June 2007 when Bauer authored a piece in Huffington Post regarding Vice President Dick Cheney’s aide, Scooter Libby, arguing that liberals should not oppose a White House pardon because a pardon would draw President George W. Bush directly into the case, with the potential the “presidential fingerprints” could become politically explosive.
Beck has been a very positive force. I don't want that to change.

bttt
That’s what I SAID, without the insult.
Clean it up.
I’ve never been able to stand Glenn Beck, and I don’t subject myself to the TV show. However, he has been taking it to the Obama Administration with courage and effectiveness as no where else on television. It is Beck that Obama is referring to when he chides Fox for having a “talk radio format”. So, kudo’s Glenn Beck (I might even have to watch sometime).
