Glenn Beck is someone you could have a thoughtful, intelligent conversation with.
Compared to Sarah Palin.

On Hardball tonight, I saw a clip of Beck talking with her on on Faux. She made a fool of herself. With Glenn Beck sitting right across from her. Who came across as a well informed scholar compared to this airhead.

I am beginning to think that one of the reasons they hired her is to make the rest of them look like geniuses.

1. I thought a different follow up was coming...
"...Glenn Beck is someone you could have a thoughtful, intelligent conversation with,"

said Sarah Palin following her recent sit down with him.


:rofl:

3. I think the GOP is setting her up to FAIL...
It has become obvious that the establishment Republicans do not want Palin running for President
in 2012. McCain hates her guts and the recent revelations by Steve Schmitt, McCain's campaign
manager, make it clear that they want everyone to know what a nimrod she is.

They're no longer protecting her. She's too "rogue" for them. She shares their lust for war
and their neocon tendencies, but ultimately she's unpredictable, incapable and stupid.

Fox knows that she has a loyal fan base. She'll get some ratings. However...everyone
knows that putting that ditz in front of the camera with her own show--will be a complete
train wreck.

Tina Fey got several week's worth of material from a few Palin appearances. A daily
Palin show will be like a geyser of stupidity. There will be so many gaffes, stupid
remarks and career-destroying one liners that showcase her ignorance.

The Republican establishment, that runs Fox News, is just giving Palin enough rope with
which to hang herself.

11. I agree with that
I'm still wondering how long until she quits.

4. I'm sure Beck is quite lucid about matters he knows the most about...


So yeah, compared to Palin? You got that right too :thumbsup:

5. Well, sure, I could have a long thoughtful conversation with him... 1 on 1.
In a warehouse with a concrete floor. Just he and I. And my steel toed boots.

But then again, you probably can't understand how that feels to a poor person.

9. I'm really not saying that anyone could have a thoughtful, intelligent conversation with Beck.
Verges was correct.

It was an exercise in comparison with no baseline established.

They are both despicable, useless human beings.

10. I did read it. Before you're reply.
Good piece. Saying Beck is anything compared to Palin isn't saying he is that thing. It's merely stating that Palin is worse. And I believe she is. Beck only pretends to be crazy. Palin actually is. This might make Beck's evil worse. But Palin is still nuttier.

By the way, I know church mice that are richer than I am. You really shouldn't make assumptions like that.
