Apparently Glen Beck isn't a COMPLETE moron

During Sarah Palin's interview with Glenn Beck today, something extraordinary happened -- Beck challenged Palin on a stock, noncommittal answer to a question. Beck asked: "Who's your favorite Founder?"

"You know, well, all of them, because they came collectively together with so much--" Palin began, in a manner much like her non-answers to Katie Couric's questions about which newspapers she's read ("All of them.") and which Supreme Court decisions she's disagreed with (which brought a similarly broad answer about how there are a lot of decisions).

"Bullcrap," Beck interrupted. "Who's your favorite."

"--so much diverse and so much diversity in terms of belief, but collectively they came together -- and they were led by, of course George Washington, so he's got to rise to the top." Palin then gave a short speech on Washington's virtues.

What a hard hitting question!

What she says now doesn't matter. Judge Judy is more important.

I thought Maria Shriver had something relevant to say. She hosts an annual woman's conference, and women like Condi Rice and Bono spoke there.

She also invited Palin to speak while she was running for VP, and she refused. In response, Shriver commented that her father, who also ran for VP in 72, spoke with reporters everyday during the election run. She said that every candidate in history were questioned by reporters daily, and this is part of the vetting process.

Palin's handlers pushed her away from reporters at every opportunity. This isn't like Olbermann and Charlie Rose in the crowd, but the beat reporters who are assigned to a particular candidate and follow them everywhere.

Obama went on O'Reilly. McCain went on Letterman after he blew him off. I saw one interview with Biden when the reporter, whose husband is a Republican strategist, accused Obama of being a Marxist and wanted to know what Biden thought.

BTW, I didn't know what Glenn Beck meant by Founder at first. I'm used to the term Founding Father.

But I would have just asked what did he mean.

One thing is that there are stupid little tricks you can cover for your ignorance. Mine is a knowing head nod.

Palin probably has hundreds, but with trained interviewers, you can't fake it. You either know or you don't.

I want a chastity belt on this man. I want his every move watched in Washington. I don't trust this guy. This one could end with a dead intern. I'm just saying. It could end with a dead intern.
