Philadelphia Freedom

Did you know that there’s a Mayor Nutter in Philadelphia? We didn’t. And for purposes of exposition, we’ll try not to cackle like a hyena:

Talk-radio host Glenn Beck took a shot at Philadelphia on the air Tuesday, calling the area around Independence Hall “the killing streets” and proclaiming that the city was “not a place you want to be.”

The remarks irked city officials. Mayor Nutter’s spokesman told The Inquirer that Beck was suffering from a case of “verb-arrhea.” Philadelphia Police Lt. Ray Evers called Beck “misinformed.” The historic district, Evers said, “is actually one of the safest parts of the city, if not the country, with the number of law enforcement. Who listens to him, anyway?”

Nobody in Philly, apparently. The local radio station canceled his show Monday.

Borrowed from Day Man (From It’s Always Sunny’s hilariously funny Nightman Episode)

Beck Man
Fighter of the Sane Man
Champion of the Dumb
You’re a master of crying
And hatred for everyone

Beck Man (Aah-aah-aah)
Fighter of the Sane Man (Aah-aah-aah)
Champion of the Dumb(Aah-aah-aah)
You’re a master of crying
And hatred for everyone
(repeat)
