NYT Mag sucks up to Glenn Beck

You can tell it's going to be a "great" interview from page 1:
At some point in the past few months, Beck ceased being just the guy who cries a lot on Fox News or a “rodeo clown” (as he has described himself) or simply a voice of the ultraconservative opposition to President Obama. In record time, Beck has traveled the loop of curiosity to ratings bonanza to self-parody to sage.
If Glenn Beck is a sage, I'll publicly kiss his ass next time he marches to Washington.

This tagline helps explain things:

Mark Leibovich is a reporter in the Washington bureau of The Times. He last wrote for the magazine about Mike Allen of Politico.

Ahh, so this is an inside-the-Beltway take on someone the NYT now deigns worthy of entering the inner sanctum. Good. Fucking. Doorknob.

Praying Glenn Beck doesn't know his Bible or Jesus

At his "Reinventing Himself" rally Saturday, among other inanities, monstrosities and pomposities, Glenn Beck exhorted the crowd to:

Recognize your place to the creator. Realize that he is our king. He is the one who guides and directs our life and protects us." He asked his audience to pray more. "I ask, not only if you would pray on your knees, but pray on your knees but with your door open for your children to see.

Just one problem.

Whereas Jesus said ...
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. ... When you pray, go into the room, close your door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. ... And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans.
So, there you have it, from Jesus' mouth to your ears. Glenn Beck is a hypocrite.

Ugggh on Tony La Russa hearting Glenn Beck

Showing up for Glenn Beck's crapola, and trying to rope Pujols into it, denials aside ... focus on getting the Cards into the playoffs.

I'm missing Glenn Beck on the Huntsville shooting

Did you notice it happened at the Shelby Center, surely named after Alabama's "Senator Hold"? And, Prof. Bishop was educated at that bastion of socialism, Harvard?

The only possible conclusion is that guns are dangerous only when in the hands of socialists, and that Prof. Bishop was an obvious part of the socialist agenda.

I hear Glenn Beck warming up his vocal chords as we speak.
