Glenn Beck

By Sarah Palin Thursday, Apr. 29, 2010

...
Glenn's like the high school government teacher so many wish they'd had, charting and connecting ideas with chalk-dusted fingers — kicking it old school — instead of becoming just another talking-heads show host. Self-taught, he's become America's professor of common sense...

His love of the Founding Fathers inspires others to learn and respect our nation's history. Best of all, Glenn delights in driving the self-proclaimed powers-that-be crazy. (The whole country awaits the red phone ringing!) Even his critics...have to admire his amazing ability to galvanize everyday Americans to better themselves...


Meanwhile in Totally Unrelated News, the Washington Pest Post would totally love it if you would, uh, like, work for free!

From the Maryland Politics Watch:

Why MPW Turned Down the Washington Post

Five weeks ago, I received an unsolicited offer from the Washington Post. They asked if they could post my picture and biography on their website and link to every new blog post appearing here if I agreed to produce regular original content for them at their request. I turned them down. Why?

Because they wanted me to work for them for nothing.

The Post is organizing a “local blogging network” linking to selected blogs from their website and asking bloggers to submit original content, which would be edited by them. The Post’s rights to that content would be enforceable under a written agreement. That agreement was written as follows...

I must go now and find many things to drink.

Many, many things.

They could have had any of the (most likely) schizophrenics walking around my neighborhood most days write the same thing (hell, probably better!1!) for much less money.
"Even his critics...have to admire his amazing ability to galvanize everyday Americans to better themselves..."
Yeah, watching Elmer Gantry fleece the flock is pretty amazing, too.

Beck's Fox-given ability to incite stupid people into hatred and violence is exactly like the idealized and much loved High School Teacher in Disney movies. Yeah.

From his show. I'm not sure of the date.

Beck: So Sarah, Who's your favorite founding father?

Palin: Ummm. well you know. All of them!
