Quote by James Wolcott
On August 28, 2010, Fox News messiah Glenn Beck hosted a 'Restoring Honor' revival meeting featuring sexy guest star Sarah Palin, much as Bob Hope would roll out Raquel Welch in white go-go boots on his U.S.O. tours to give our fighting men a morale lift in their khakis.
Summary
This quote sarcastically compares Glenn Beck's 'Restoring Honor' event featuring Sarah Palin as a guest to Bob Hope's U.S.O. tours. It suggests that both events aimed to boost morale, but in a sensationalized and superficial manner. By using phrases like "Fox News messiah" and "sexy guest star," the quote criticizes the spectacle and commercialization of the event, implying that it was more focused on entertainment and political showmanship rather than genuine substance or meaningful impact.
