RHETORIC: BECK SAID VANCOUVER LOST $1 BILLION WHEN IT "HAD THE OLYMPICS." Glenn Beck said, "Vancouver lost, how much was it? they lost a billion dollars when they had the Olympics." [Transcript, Glenn Beck Show, 9/29/09]
REALITY: VANCOUVER'S OLYMPICS WILL NOT TAKE PLACE UNTIL 2010. Vancouver will host the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games from February 12 - 28, 2010 and March 12-21, 2010, respectively. [Vancouver2010.com, accessed 9/29/09]
I thought hosting the Olympics was an honor. Bush spent 4 days watching the Olympics when he was in office. So how would you want your tax dollars spent?

I don't know what he was talking about, but the Vancouver Olympics have been in the news a lot because they are way over budget. Originally they were saying it would be a very profitable event for the area but now they think the whole thing may actually be a loss.

Beck calls himself a clown. Only his audience and fans think they're actually watching the news.
