Just give me $27k for it, and I can move along.

Mr. Beck hosts a radio show on 107.7. Here is a link to an article by him posted on CNN.com: http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/06/25/beck.cons...ives/index.html

Here is an excerpt:
    Glenn Beck is a closet Ron Paul fan

    I agree with most of what he says, which is good since I consider myself a conservative in most regards

    I like astronomy. Too bad the skies around here suck so badly.

    The skies on top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia were inSANE. My telescope was scanning the heavens like mad!

    Although he's fundamentally right that TRUE conservatives haven't had a choice or a vote in the past eight years, Glenn Beck is also fundamentally a pig. His shows on TV and radio are regularly filled with downright STUPID bullshit.

    - Called Clinton a "stereotypical bitch" then said "probably a better word was 'nag.' "
    - Had to apologize for airing Clinton speeches "out of context"
    - Has people like the depraved Ann Coulter on his show, or guests that say things about Michelle Obama like ""[T]his is Kim Jong-Il dressed up with a bit of Oprah Winfrey dressing.""
    - Often calls supporters of progressive economic policies communists, marxists, socialists and fascists

    BECK: You know, I just wish these candidates would go back and read the words of the founding fathers. You have a right to fail.

    STEYN: Yeah, yeah.

    BECK: You have a right to starve to death.
    Yeah, brilliant guy this one. He certainly deserves a half hour on CNN and a radio talk show...
