![]() ![]() And he not only holds it up, he flips through it, turning a few pages without reading them, and we can tell right away that he hasn’t read the book and that this doesn’t matter. But then, less than a minute into the show, something happens, and suddenly we’re confronted with the unexpected, the incredible, the weird: he holds up a small book, yes, you heard me correctly, a book. He starts with the typical idiotic conspiracy theories. We’re watching Fox News it’s July 1 st, 2009. He’s speaking to us so casually that it even feels a little like water cooler gossip, but don’t let that fool you: what he’s about to tell us is serious. It’s like we’re at his house and he’s talking to us in private. He leans his elbows on the table, using them to emphasize all of his gestures. He’s white, his name is Glenn Beck, he has a baby face and a crew cut, and he’s wearing the mandatory uniform - a red tie with white stars, a striped shirt, and a dark suit. He displays all the characteristics of a vigorous, conservative, republican, married, paternal, naturally born-to-lead American. Translated from the French by Claire Finch and Jackson B. ![]()
