"I'm Just Saying What Everyone Else is Thinking": An Open Letter From Glenn

To Those Who Find My Interview Style Asinine,

I have heard the uproar over my eye-opening interview with freshman
Congressman Keith Ellison, and I have to make this as clearly as I can. I
will not let the naysayers keep me from sayin' what everybody is thinkin'.
And just because I received a little flack over some insicive questioning,
if you do think I'm going to pack up my truth as I see it suitcase, you'd
have to think that America was attacked by some country other than Iraq.

First of all, let me say, "thank you." Finally, it proves that someone is
watching, albeit on YouTube or through the links at the Huffington Post. It
shows CNN that I can whip up all the second-hand looksee that they first
imagined when they made the programming decision that made most TV critics
say, "Wha-a-a?"

If you weren't able to download the video, what I said to the Muslimic
Congressman was "You are a Democrat. You are saying, 'Let's cut and run.'
And I have to tell you, I have been nervous about this interview with you,
because what I feel like saying is, 'Sir, prove to me that you are not
working with our enemies.'"

Tell me I wasn't askin' what everyone was thinkin'.

A lot of supposed left-wing nuts screamed bloody murder. The kind of bloody
murder that friends of Congressman Ellison might have perpetrated on 9-11.
Did you forget already? I haven't.

Tell me you weren't suspicious by the Congressman hiding the fact that he is
a Muslim. Keith? What kind of Muslim name is "Keith?" And not even Keith X.
If that doesn't make every American skeptical of Ellison's credibility as
representative of the American people, then perhaps I don't know what I'm
talking about. And if that's so, then everyone else doesn't know what
they're talking about because I just talk about what they're talking about.

My job, my mission, if you will, is to enlighten, even if at the expense of
the good common sense and ratings. When I likened Hillary Clinton's call for
proper and affordable healthcare for every American to the Holocaust, it was
something that needed to be said. I've met Jews. Tell me most of them aren't
frightened to death of being hauled off in cattle cars only to be treated by
affordable hospitals and doctors.

I'm was just sayin' what every Jew was thinkin'.

When I followed up by saying that the United States had the greatest
healthcare system in the world, a lot of so-called healthcare experts
pointed to the report stating that the overall United States health care
performance was ranked 37th by theWorld Health Organization and the DALE
index indicated the United States was ranked 72nd in the world. The only
DALE I know is Dale Evans. That expert rode a horse, and unless you haven't
read the papers, she's dead.

Perhaps those who have chosen to demean our terrific American doctors,
nurses and medical insurance corporations, forgot that Einstein received a
"D" in math. Einstein was, I remind these anti-Semites, a Jew. A very Jewy
one.

The first thing I learned as a talk show news reporter was never to assume.
That applies to the intelligence of my listeners. How responsible would I be
to assume that my fans knew that the first ever-elected Muslim to the U.S.
Congress was, in fact, a Muslim?

You want to trash my style or my content as being inane, fine. But you can
never take away my American right to be inane. That is unless you're on the
side of the terrorist...or Congressman Keith X.

Hoping that's what you were thinkin',
Glenn
