Glen has David Freddoso on the show. He was explaining how Obama has not fought corruption in Chicago, his example was the election of Todd Stergen(sp?). He was mid sentence and all of a sudden Glen is back on the screen at the start of the segment. We never again see David talking about the above specific incident. They totally edited it out. I swear I'm not on something, both my wife and I saw it. If anyone is recording the show and can push the segment out to youtube that would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Todd Stroger. Cronyism at its worst.
The show gets replayed at 9 PM. Watch and record it then.
Put it this way:
Todd Stroger’s dad renamed Cook County Hospital for himself! Now that takes enormous chutzpah.
I have Freddoso’s book. Everyone SHOULD read it.
Fox doesn’t even have the balls to have this show. Great Show Glen Beck.
I missed that somehow (but I LISTEN to it at work). Are you saying Glenn interrupted him and they basically threw him off the show and dumped the conversation?
I will be watching at 9. Thanks for the heads up!
My wife and I happened to be watching it, and also saw it happen. It was like the segment got reset or something.
If this is true, it will be edited before then.
Next, there is the Cook County government, a $3 billion operation that most taxpayers don't think about but which provides necessary and critical services to the indigent, particularly health care. In 2006, the Cook County Board President, John Stroger, faced near-daily chronicling of the incompetence, scandal, and patronage under his administration. These revelations included not only the typical employment of family members and friends, but more disturbingly what one Chicago newspaper referred to as a "catalogue of horrors" at a County hospital and what another uncovered at the Juvenile Detention Center where staff encouraged fights among the youth in "the gladiator room". Although normally untouchable, challenging Stroger was a formidable reform candidate, Forrest Claypool, who had been endorsed by every major paper in Chicago. This 'machine versus reform' race provided Obama with a seemingly tailored opportunity to demonstrate his new brand of politics and yet, although Claypool was a senior advisor to him during his Senate race, Obama chose not antagonize the machine and remained silent throughout the campaign, even after Stroger suffered a debilitating stroke a week before the election. Following Stroger's victory (52% to 48%), local committeemen selected Stroger's son, Todd, to replace him on the general election ballot, and despite general voter outrage over this cynical act of nepotism, Obama immediately embraced Todd Stroger, calling him a "a good progressive Democrat" who will "lead us into a new era of Cook County government." To no one's surprise, since winning the general election, Todd Stroger has hired a plethora of family members and friends, while slashing essential positions and services, including nurses and law enforcement officials, and proposing massive tax increases. When asked about the situation at the County under Todd Stroger, Obama said he was not following it, something he apparently has the luxury to ignore.List of linked articles on Obama and Todd Stroger at mistersnitch
He was on Fox right after his book came out. I think he was on Hannity. Gibbs from Obama’s campaign came on there to bellyache.
Then, when he had a stroke, he didn’t get treated at the hospital which bears his name.
Glen Beck is not secure enough that he wants to piss off the Chicago Mob

Thanks for that link.
America under Obama: About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition.
Emal Jones, even worse
