Glenn Beck's George Washington Whopper The Fox host says he held the inaugural address of the famously truthful founding father. Yeah right, says the National Archives. — By Stephanie Mencimer Wed Sep. 1, 2010 3:00 AM PDT During his much-ballyhooed "Restoring Honor" rally on Saturday, Glenn Beck told a whopper involving the founding father who was supposedly unable to tell a lie: George Washington. Speechifying at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial, the controversial Fox News host highlighted the legacy of the nation's first president to drive home his claim that encouraging honesty and integrity was a main aim of the event. Beck even told attendees that "the next George Washington" was "in this crowd. He may be 8 years old, but this is the moment. This is the moment that he dedicates his life, that he sees giants around him. And 25 years from now, he will come not to this stair, but to those stairs. And he can proclaim, 'I have a new dream.'" Beck also invoked Washington while describing the inspiring experience of visiting famous tourist destinations around the nation's capital. "I have been going to Mt. Vernon," he explained. Holding out his hands for emphasis, he declared with emotion, "I went to the National Archives, and I held the first inaugural address written in his own hand by George Washington." ....

Beck has a tragically flawed character. No doubt he is lying about the rest too.

Maybe he should use a TOTUS like Barry. Then he could be totally robotic but he might not leave out a word or two every now and then. And if these people really want to know what he meant, why don't they just ask him? No, wouldn't want to do THAT now would we? One of the most important aspects of conspiracy theories is being able to discern when there isn't one. Oh yeah, like you'd understand anyway. Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket?. . .J. Handy

During that tour, he did get a peek inside the "legislative vault," which isn't open to ordinary visitors. But Archives spokeswoman Susan Cooper insists that Beck didn't lay a finger on any precious documents, much less George Washington’s inaugural address. That would be a major violation of policy. "Those kinds of treasures are only handled by specially trained archival staff," she explains. *Cooper acknowledges that someone at the archives did* show the document to Beck, but that was the extent of it. Regarding Beck's claim that he held the document, Cooper says that seeing such documents for the first time can be a very emotional experience. "I'm certain it was a figure of speech," she says**. She (and whoever let Beck in) are soooo busted... This is all CYA (and poorly done at that)! [link to motherjones.com]
