And Beck can tell the difference between sobriety and drunkeness. And Beck talks about how Jim DeMint is his favorite Senator. And because there are a copy of Republicans trying to whip the party into doing the right thing, doesn't mean the party has reformed itself.
Gee whiz, even John McCain is talking about the Republican party losing its way. Great.
Bennett made some good points.
On Fox News, Glenn Beck proves on a daily basis he understands many of the problems facing traditional America and he has the entertainment skills and talents to express his opinions related to those problems. However, Beck's so-called speech at CPAC yesterday was just an extension of his cable tv show. Beck did do a good job, but as usual, he was way over the top with his antics.
More importantly, conservatives should be asking themselves, what did CPAC accomplish this year? Has this annual gathering lost its luster and its true meaning for most conservatives?
With the addition of GOProud and the John Birch Society, I don't think CPAC advanced conservatism this time around. Ron Paul winning the straw poll does not make him the definitive choice for 2012. CPAC 2010 was a hodgepodge of fractured rightwing political factions. A very strange convention this time around. The weirdest ever.
You are sounding more and more like your brother every day.

Well said Bill!!!
BTW: does anyone know where a decent quality video I can download of that speech? I'm not interested in a stream, but want a file that I can share.
Mr Beck is most certainly way off the reservation with his constantly claiming to be the product of having found his way to AA and parading his “recovering alcoholic” status.
AA’s Big Book says: “To show other alcoholics PRECISELY HOW WE HAVE RECOVERED is the main purpose of this book” (page xiii) And says recovered scores of other times, too. And AA also includes “anonymous” in its name — and in its tenets. That is so those sufferers of the disease who haven’t found AA yet, don’t have to look at those who trumpet their membership and think, “Hell, Man, I’d rather be drunk than be a Glenn Beck!”
“Recovering alcoholic,” meanwhile, is the invention of the fraudulent “treatment” center industry and of those statisticians who prefer we call them “psychologists.” And of those “drug and alcohol” “councilors” and “therapists” who lump the disease of Alcoholism (that has a diagnosis and recognizable symptoms) together with the consequences of bad choices and worse actions those who’ve made them and taken them prefer we call “addiction.” Yet another bullsh*t word invented by those who make their living defrauding insurance companies.
As for the “libertarian” Mr Beck’s take on any real similarities between actual Republicanism and the vast criminal enterprises that prefer we call them by their street name, the “Democratic” potty?
In my judgment Mr Recovering Beck’s a better front man for the touchy-feely health-insurance-company robbers than he is for we lovers of America’s Founding Law.
Glenn Beck - a buffoon by any other name!
