Glenn Beck To Get Key To City; Protesters Say "Change The Locks!" [View All]

The mayor of tinfoil-hat icon Glenn Beck's home town says he wants to give the Fox News carnival attraction the key to the city.

A number of anti-Beck protestors outside city hall in Mount Vernon, Wash., this week have been carrying signs reading "Change the Locks!"

In what may be one of the most politically tone-deaf moves this year, Bud Norris, mayor of the small farming community just north of Seattle, says he'll hand over the hardware to Beck on Sept. 26. Members of the local Young Democrats will be there to protest and welcome the Beckster back to Earth from Planet Fox News.

Western Washington is solidly Democratic, and Seattle's King County nearby voted for Obama last fall by a whopping 4-to-1 margin. Even in Mount Vernon's rural Skagit County, it was Obama by a solid 53-to-43 percent margin.
