How to fast on Yom Kippur

The sacred Day of Atonement has begun (at least here in Brooklyn) and to help those who are going to fast, let me mention Glenn Beck. Appetite gone, right?! Amazing. It’s just as he’d want it, too, because, as I wrote in this PoliticsDaily piece, Beck has asked that we all fast on Yom Kippur–to “make it a day of Fast and Prayer for the Republic. Spread the word. Let us walk in the founders steps.”
The Founders all being Jews, of course.
But that all is nothing compared to this clip of Katie Couric (or a viewer, actually) asking Beck what he meant by “white culture”–Beck accused Obama of hating white culture, which is…what, exactly, Mr. Beck?
His, er, answer, is priceless. Video here.

I do not understand why any resonable person takes the one sided Beck seriously.
Paul reminds us (Christians) that just as the High Priest entetred the Holy of Hlies once a year to sprinkle blood on thealtar n tonemaent, now the Lord has entered tye heavenly Holy of holies (His blood pouted out) to make atnemen forever
In this we rejoice and join in the Holy sacrifice wher ewe are stillpart thereof.

“I do not understand why any resonable person takes the one sided Beck seriously.”
I’ll give you a million dollars for every reasonable person you can find who takes Beck seriously.
I’m quite certain that I’ll be solvent at the end of the day.
And I’m not a millionaire.

Who knew Katie Couric would become our hardest-hitting TV journalist! Beck has a history of saying whatever he thinks his audience wants to hear. But my favorite thing about this “response” is that he does just what Sarah Palin did in (or after) her Couric interview — unable to formulate an answer that he won’t regret, he gets defensive and pretends the question itself is unfair. “I don’t know how to answer that that’s not a trap.” When you’re trapped by your own words, you really can’t blame the forum.

If I knew who MEP is, I’d wonder how he understands “reasonable.”
