Gillespie: ‘It Is Beyond Me’ Why Republicans Won’t Boycott NBC

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/05/20/gillespie-boycott/

Yesterday, Bush counselor Ed Gillespie sent an angry letter to NBC president Steve Capus demanding that the network run a correction for what he called the network’s “selective editing” of an interview with President Bush. NBC pointed out that the full interview “has been available, unedited, in its entirety, for the past day, on our website.”

Gillespie — and the rest of the right wing — was not mollified. Appearing on Glenn Beck’s radio show today, Gillespie continued to attack NBC. When Beck asked why conservatives continue to appear on the network, Gillespie replied, “It is beyond me frankly”:

BECK: While their journalists clearly or their commentators are clearly conservative, nobody in Washington is trying to — the Democrats are trying to blackball Fox by not going on any debates, et cetera, et cetera. You don’t see Republicans doing that to NBC, do you?

GILLESPIE: No, and sometimes I question why. It is beyond me frankly.

1. Um, Ed??? There's a LOT that's beyond you, Buddy...

This is not the only thing, OK? You're in over your head in a LOT of areas.

People are SICK AND TIRED OF THE FUCKIN' IDIOT AND HIS LIES AND HIS STUPIDITY AND NOBODY FUCKING CARES. The whole quote just made him look even dumber, if that's even possible. It's NOT AN ISSUE.
Get over it.
