Critics of Fox News’ Glenn Beck might be stunned that he can speak for more than an hour without spouting even one juicy conspiracy theory.
“I think we’re gonna make it,” said Beck in his own State of the Union address, beamed into movie theaters nationwide Saturday night. Beck shared his newfound optimism during a telecast of “The Bold and Fresh Tour” over the weekend. The show, which Beck co-headlined with his Fox News colleague Bill O’Reilly, let two of the country’s most polarizing pundits analyze President Barack Obama’s SOTU speech and the continued fallout from Scott Brown’s election shocker in Massachusetts.
O’Reilly may still be the news channel’s ratings czar, but the crowd squeezed into South Florida’s Sun Dome (where the show was performed live Friday night) clearly favored Beck’s red-meat theatrics. The show proved as partisan as expected, with both Beck and O’Reilly hammering the likes of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Barney Frank. But while Beck had no compunction about taunting President Barack Obama, O’Reilly took a softer approach with the commander-in-chief. That might work on the small screen, but audiences were hoping O’Reilly would take the gloves off.
Beck’s portion of the show featured his trademark blend of political chatter and shameless mugging. And no tears were shed in the process.
On the State of the Union address: “Lemme start with something nice … gimme a minute,” he deadpanned. “He’s just one of the most humble men I’ve ever seen.”..

He won't because he's secretly a closet liberal. Maybe some of what Beck is doing will rub off on that narcissistic Irishman.
Beck has some non-partisan bona fides, but BOR is a Democrat, always was, always will be.
BOR is a guy who voted for Johnson, McGovern, Carter, Kerry, Gore, Clinton, and Obama. BOR has never backed a Republican, nor even endorsed one, for any office, state, federal, or local.
BOR is a marketing trick, designed to appeal to Catholic Democrat White Males, 25-55, and keep them voting Democrat. Review his softball treatment of Obama , Hillary, Clinton. Go back, Guy's a fink.
Beck and BOR? Together? Not an idea worthy of my consideration.
I went and saw Bold and Fresh on Saturday. I thought it was really well done. O’Reilly and beck are a perfect balance for eachother.
1) He not only refused to report on Obama’s eligibility, or offer a reasoned opinion as to why he thought Obama was a natural born citizen, he **INSULTED** those who do have questions.
2) He is now a good pall of OReilly ( another creep!). You can know a man by the company he keeps.
I was sorry that we couldn’t make it to the theatre.
They looked like they were having a good time.
