Glenn Beck and U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky's husband trade jabs

The Chicago Tribune reports:

After conservative Fox News TV host Glenn Beck highlighted Evanston political consultant Robert Creamer's criminal record and his visit to the White House, Creamer fired back Wednesday, calling Beck part of a "new McCarthyist movement of the far right."

Creamer, 62, is the husband of Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill. In 2006, he was sentenced to five months in federal prison for bank fraud and a tax violation.

For those of you who don't know, Glenn Beck is not now or ever been a member of the Senate Internal Security Committee or the Senate Permanent Committee on Investigations. Can Robert Creamer explain Jan Schakowsky's relationship with the Chicago Democratic Socialists of America? Is Jan a secret member? The Democratic Socialists of America recently held their national convention in Robert Creamer's hometown of Evanston , Il. No word yet on whether Jan and Robert popped in for a visit with their ideological comrades.
