The economy is so bad, Glenn Beck had to speak to a hundred thousand people today about Herbalife! That's how bad— that's how bad it is!


Rejected:
  • The economy is so bad, that even really rich people are complaining. Like millionaires even.

So when things get bad even rich people get caught up in get Amway like product schemes. There's something there. Somewhere. Way down. But you need to make it sharp. And "Herbalife" can't carry a punchline. And the whole "had to speak to a hundred thousand people" line is so clumsy. He didn't have to. He was already going to speak to the people. The joke should be about what he chose to do with the audience instead. It's just sloppy writing. But let's stick with the hilarious and ridiculous premise that Glenn Beck uses these rallies to make money. HohO! That would be so funny.
