Remember Bill Clinton Complaining About the ‘Politics of Personal Destruction’

Unlike impeachment, this actually fits that bill; it’s from a blogger on The Huffington Post. He has nothing on Glenn Beck (who, oh by the way, has made clear he’s far from sinless), but wants something, in seeking to silence him:

The new conservatives are true believers in the “One Right Way”, and Democrats only rarely agree on the one best way to go. But we can all agree that Fox News is a bad influence on America.

It is time to pop the tea baggers’ favorite balloon (so what if it will be replaced by another?), and with that in mind I hereby offer to negotiate a $100,000 payday to the person who will come forward with a sex tape or phone records or anything else that succeeds in removing Glenn Beck from the public eye forever. I am not offering the cash myself, but I will broker the deal and/or raise the money for what you bring to the table. (And it better be good.)

If you have the goods, or if you want to contribute to a slush fund to buy more takedowns (probably not tax deductible), please contact me …

I suppose we should be grateful he’s not looking for the law to silence Beck (i.e. Fairness Doctrine).
