Glenn Beck thinks that Vogue editor Anna Wintour's bundling for President Barack Obama means his administration is "off the rails." "You can't go on and say how bad an elitist Mitt Romney is and then stand next to her," he said. How does Mr. Beck know she's an elitist? Her "neck scarf," apparently. In this GBTV clip, he also makes fun of how Ms. Wintour's accent pronounces "Michelle Obama"—doubting her British heritage! He says that she is the "devil" in "The Devil Wears Prada" so many times it seems almost blasphemous. [HuffPo]
