Glenn Beck Goes After Barbara Bush, Calling Her The “Oatmeal Box Lady”

video

Glenn Beck was not happy with Barbara Bush’s oh-so-thinly veiled attack on Sarah Palin from over the weekend. Although he says the former first lady is his “favorite Bush,” he called her comments “really insulting” and called her the “oatmeal box lady,” apparently comparing her to the man in the Quaker Oats logo (Who, it turns out, isn’t William Penn.

Take for example last night's episode that featured lots of jokes that many saw as anti-Republican.
