Apparently, Glenn Beck is also a time-traveler. Is there anything this guy can't do?

Well, maybe he can't seem to rely on facts.

The White House online director, Jesse Lee, noted in his blog that Glenn Beck is ridiculing the attempts to bring the Olympics to the Chicago.  Likely because President Obama is from Chicago, sort of, Beck is assailing the city's bid.  And he seems to have good reason, don't you know:

Glenn Beck said, "Vancouver lost, how much was it? they lost a billion dollars when they had the Olympics."  [Transcript, Glenn Beck Show, 9/29/09]

Yeah, about that.  The Olympic Games in Vancouver don't take place until next year.  2010.  In the future.  But Glenn is so amazing!  He claims he only speaks the truth, so he must have gone into the future, looked at the balance sheets for the 2010 games, and came back to warn us.  Too bad he couldn't have used those powers to warn people in Samoa about the tsunami.  Oh, right.  American Samoa isn't really, you know, American.  They look kinda brown and foreign down there.  Silly me.

But, still:  time-traveler!  I want him to go forward again to tell me how George W. Bush will really be remembered by history.  That will be good for a laugh.
