If I were to tell you that before a person went on a television show they rehearsed their lines--with tears and heartfelt pauses included--you would assume they were an actor, right?
Not so for uber-patriot and chalkboard enthusiast Glenn Beck:
Love him or hate him, Beck is a talented, often funny broadcaster, a recovering alcoholic with an unabashedly emotional style. Yet even that has caused grousing. Some staffers say they have watched rehearsals, on internal monitors, in which Beck has teared up or paused at the same moments as he later did during the show. Asked about this, Balfe responded sharply: "Glenn reacts the same way to issues whether he knows people are watching or not, and is proud to show his emotions, unlike the cowardly, two-faced critics who hide behind anonymity."
Wow. Just...wow. If your colleagues at Fox News are calling you out as an insincere fraud that surely says a hell of a lot more than any 10 random rants by Keith Olbermann. Then again the Washington Post and Howard Kurtz are a part of the liberal media establishment and are therefore obviously members in good standing of the "I hate America" club, which means only that Glenn Beck is in good company. Fear not Tea Party nation, your savior remains infallible.
