My "I can't believe that!" moments from yesterday...

1. Glen Beck, on CNN Headline News, asking Minnesota congressman Keith Ellison if he is working for enemies of the United States. The reason why Mr. Beck asked that question is that Keith Ellison is the first Muslim ever elected to congress. The interview went like this (seriously!):

BECK: Thank you. I will tell you, may I -- may we have five minutes here where we're just politically incorrect and I play the cards face up on the table?

ELLISON: Go there.

BECK: OK. No offense, and I know Muslims. I like Muslims. I've been to mosques. I really don't believe that Islam is a religion of evil. I -- you know, I think it's being hijacked, quite frankly.

With that being said, 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."

And I know you're not. I'm not accusing you of being an enemy, but that's the way I feel, and I think a lot of Americans will feel that way.

ELLISON: Well, let me tell you, the people of the Fifth Congressional District know that I have a deep love and affection for my country. There's no one who is more patriotic than I am. And so, you know, I don't need to -- need to prove my patriotic stripes.

2. Sean Lennon was on the Daily Ten, an entertainment news show on the E! channel. He was in a segment called "Shameless Plug," when entertainers get 15 seconds to tell the audience about something they should buy/see. That's too bizarre.
