Sure…but I’m balking at the attachment of “Glenn Beck” to the award. Beck is recognizing people for the sole purpose of promoting himself.

If you look into Huntsman and Beck’s relationship (which evidently you don’t know shit about), you will find that Huntsman has spend many more years than Beck has been a large public figure, giving money, time and effort to cancer research and other such charities. Beck has know him for many, many years, and has been his friend.

Before Beck even had a national audience, he was praising Huntsman. They served on some charitable boards together long before Beck’s rise to prominence.

In short, this relationship with Huntsmans was created a long time ago and is not some recent incarnation designed to bolster Beck’s popularity.

But don’t let those facts get in the way of your preconceived fantasies.
