      This is probably the clearest example yet of how Beck tries to switch personas between radio and TV; as I recall, the last time radio-Glenn talked about Palin, he was making misogynistic "jokes" about how she should get back in the kitchen.

      Hey, good ole Beck just keeps getting better and better.
      Well, actually I should say he is getting funnier.

      Just what kind of points are you talking about Glenn?

      The latest Gallup poll puts Obama's favorability 16 points ahead of Palin's, ABC puts his lead at 18 points, and CNN says it's 18 points higher.

      It can't be that type of point, could it?
      Especially when you consider that Simply Sarah isn't even a politician, anymore, she is an author. (Well, sort of)

      Obama is president and has to deal with the fact that he gets the blame for everything that is going on, whether he had anything to do with the issue or not.

      We aren't comparing apples to oranges are we.
      (metaphorically speaking)

        Good point. Since she bailed out on Alaska, the toughest decision Scary Palin has had to make is whether to wear her hair up or down for her latest book signing.

        If the Repuglican Party is looking for "substance" they won't find it anywhere near Palin.

          Also whether to stay for the entire book signing, or bail early.

          Sounds familiar.....

          Wait, Palin wrote a book? Oh, how come i haven't seen it my local library. Is it that bad, or maybe they put in the children's section along with any magazine or book that mentions Glenn Beck

        All good points, Bilbo, to the point, reasoned, and factual. But all for nothing. It won't change the mind of these lunatics and, basically, Beck is just a nut who makes stuff up!

      Plain and simple. This guy is an idiot who makes his living by making things up. I will admit; he is very good at it.

        It's not difficult to make things up. You can tell he was bullied in school buy people who made things up. He is just doing what he wishes he could have done to other people. He is the worst kind of victim. The type that is in awe of the perpetrator and has been trying to be a "cool" kid. He doesn't really care that the stakes are high but he is living his dream x $18 mil a year. It's easy to tell a lie it's hard to find the truth.

      Can anyone explain to me how this guy can still be on TV. He is not very smart and acts like he is elementary school. Making faces is annoying and it does not make what you are saying true or valid. He is really irresponsible.

        I personally think he is there for one purpose... to keep the idiot base of the GOP angry and confused, so they won't realize that many of Obama's proposed policies might actually benefit them.

        That's the only hope the Republicans have of regaining power... so anyone who can accomplish this is worth millions to them.

          I know that's why Fox Propaganda want him here. Are people actually responding positively to him acting like a toddler with all the faces he makes? Can he really sustain his career on made up stories which are exposed within days? If this is all sustainable a new kind of stupid that I don't know about exists.

          mmm..i dont think that is it nerzog. See conservatives have jobs and are self reliant, they don't look for government handouts. I believe you are referring to the parasitic left that wants other people's money because they believe the world owes them a living.

      The interesting thing is that both of these poll numbers... Palin's positives and Obama's negatives... are being driven by the same group of misinformed drooling nimrods who have infested the Republican Party.

      I hope that makes Glenda proud.

      I hope Palin runs in 2012. Obama has disappointed me a bit but is infinitely better than Palin.

        I agree with the second sentence, not with the first. Definitely Republicans can and will do better politically.
        I am looking for an alternative to vote for in 2012, not really sure why, except that I will vote for a better candidate anytime.
        If all I have is Palin, Romney, Pawlenty, Huckabee, Demint, Jindal, (all recycled candidates from 08) I will vote for Obama.
        For all the praise thrown at Obama for being a great orator, he is not doing a good job of conveying his policies. He and his Cabinet members, Democratic members of Congress, should be out conveying their positions every day. It's their job.
        All Republicans have been doing is saying NO but painting the two lettered word with catchy phrases like death panels, deficit, medicare busting, job killing etc. That's all they have ever done. Every time they say something false, it should be countered, even on Fox News.
        That's my rant for the day. Thanks.

        I agree that obama is lacking a bit in his campaign, but i would rather suffer through the end of the world in 2012 just like the movie than see here face on every news cast republican or democrat. My God think of our kids the pain and turmoil they would suffer! *crying*
