On his radio program today, Glenn Beck was discussing the on-going saga of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, who was not only caught smoking crack but also ranting wildly and threatening to murder some unknown target, which prompted Beck to start screaming that, despite all of this, “Canada still has higher standards than we do!”
Beck is furious that Canadians are demanding that Ford resign while Americans are not demanding that President Obama leave office, saying that “at least their guy hasn’t actually killed people! Our guy is flying drones over, like ‘yeah, go ahead, hit ’em, take ’em out.”
