Do you have 5 children? Just wondering because otherwise you have no idea what you are talking about. Really. I don't mean to be mean or catty. Since I have 5 children I can firmly say that having any amount of children or none is not indicative of anything whatsoever. Years from now, when I am done raising children, if they are all basically happy and successful and self sustaining I may reflect on my parenting and crow about how well I did. But the only thing I or anyone else can say for sure about my parenting is that I am fertile.

Vicious (as if that is something we want in a president)? I sure as hell hope not. If someone was calling me vicious in relation to the amount of children I have I would hope they would be picking up the phone to get help for my children. Vicious? Because of having 5 children????

I still do not understand how this moron can have a TV and a radio show.
Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews more aptly fit the actual definition of a Moron... Sorry.

Beck, admittedly, is an acquired taste — sort of like Stockhausen compared to Madonna.

Glenn Beck is a loser. He called himself a white trash and included Palin in the bunch. How is that "supporting" her? He thought it was cute

Vicious meaning in a way that no one will MESS WITH HER or you will get an earful. When you have that many children, you cannot be a meek parent, you have to learn to keep your children under control. And that is VERY hard because all of them want to do something different. In a large family, when they go somewhere, not all of the kids will agree and that's 100% of the time. At least one will complain and that child will PUSH the parent hard to the point that the parent will start to yell and say NO. The parent has to keep them in order. When you go to politics, not everyone in the meeting room will agree. One or more will be a problem, so Palin would have had experience with handling conflict because each day, her big family is full of conflicts and she also has handling conflicting schedules with her children's activities/school. In other words, don't mess with her because she knows what she is doing. But all the children will not be perfect, there will be at least one who is the blacksheep of the family, the one that will give her a lot of problems. But that blacksheep will eventually become an adult and turn around.

Political commentators make me want to punch things. All of them.

Normally I really like Glenn Beck a lot, but I totally disagree with him about Palin. I used to watch his show every day but since he's been obsessed with her I have tuned him out. Him liking her has led to me no longer watching his show at all. Not sure I'll ever tune in again, either.

America's intellect, in general, is declining. The "pop culture" has permeated everything where sound bites and a game show mentality prevail. What's happened to serious thought, analysis of issues?

Glenn Beck is a radio entertainer who talks about politics and who is now working on TV. (Look at his bio on Wikipedia.org or elsewhere.) He has no particular expertise in politics in his educational background. He has been making $10M per year working for CNN.

Conservatives listen to a guy like Beck because he makes them feel good. It is equivalent to a liberal listening to Barbra Streisand to gain information about politics. There is nothing to be learned from these people (entertainers) but only rather to be AMUSED (literally means to suppress thinking) by them.
