Glenn Beck on the edge By Salena Zito TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, January 21, 2007

One year ago, he was balking at the idea of doing a TV show on CNN -- so much so that he went kicking and screaming into the initial sit-down with the cable news channel's executives.

"Just so you know," he told

I voted on his on-line poll that he would last 2 months. I know CNN has taken a lot of abuse from the viewership, but they have stuck by their contract. Give respect where respect is due.

He's alright I guess. Better than Hannity. Never once in my life has Hannity said something that prompted me to think "Hmm, there is an interesting take on it". He just reads off of the RNC daily fax.

It is because it's no longer about the collective; it's about 'me.'

I think he means for the good of the nation, as a whole. It's not the best choice of words, though....kinda makes me think of Hillary's taking back the tax cut for the common good comment.

I am a big Glenn Beck fan. Listened to him in Tampa before going national. That said I cant get into his TV show. he has dome some good shows dont get me wrong. His exposure of the crap coming out of the middle east was excellent and ballsy to do at CNN. Also It seems he uses his radio show now to promote his CNN show a lot.

Many of you are well enough off that the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good.
Hillary Clinton

Yep...that was it. I'm hoping that gets a lot of airtime in the 08 campaign.

I, too, listened to Glenn's show in Tampa. Also attended his 'protect the Constitution' rallies in 2000 at the Tampa radio station and his Support America rally in Clearwater. Glenn is a patriot.

...and, btw, wait 'til next year! LOL. Yankee fan here. lol.

Hannity needs to do show prep. He repeats the same thing for days and days.

I also attended his rally at wfla during the election fiasco. I miss him being a local show. I understand he went on to bigger and better things but I enjoyed his take on local issues. Schnitt is on now and although I listen and dont hate him I just find him to be somewhat sophmoric if that is the right term. Do you remember the Friday Schlub clubs? Hysterical.

"Yankee fan here, LOL"

Why does this man look so upset? I guess I would be, too, if I had spent that kind of money and had nothing to show for it. ";^0
