I’m sensing a minor disconnect, here…is it fine and dandy for a Democrat to cry, like when Bill Clinton showed his sensitive, compassionate side at several points in his presidency? However, when a Rethuglican like Beck cries, even if it is caused by thinking about his own handicapped daughter’s condition, it’s evidence of insanity?

I don’t watch Beck, because I don’t watch any political talking-head shows anymore, since the interminable election ate my brain, but I know he’s got a lot of people on the right and left worked up these days. He must be doing something right. And wrong.

People I’ve never been able to stomach, and I suppose Beck would likely be in this group if I tried to watch him:

Rush
O’Reilly
Olbermann
Matthews
Jon Stewart
Cooper
Shuster
Maddow
Hannity

Pompous windbags, the lot of them. The way they’ve driven political discourse into the dirt in recent years has contributed greatly to the polarization of America into two armed camps that can never be reconciled. I don’t know how anyone can stand to listen to them.
