Morning Vid: Colbert Skewers Glenn Beck's Claim to 'Divine Providence'
Martin Luther King you are not, Mr. Beck
.When Stephen Colbert devoted much of his program last night (enough for not one, but two morning vids) to mocking Glenn Beck's self-importance, the Huffington Post was overjoyed. Colbert skewered Beck for planning a rally on the exact date and location as Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have A Dream Speech." While Beck claimed "divine providence" that the location and time coincided, he also declared that it was time to "restore and finish" the now-"distorted" dream of the great civil rights leader.
"Finally, someone is bringing Martin Luther King's movement back to its conservative white roots," quipped Colbert. "It's a little known fact: they only turned those firehoses on to cool down the black protesters."
The tomfoolery begins in the first clip at 2:25.
