Beck’s a pompous self-important boob, who only recently discovered the Constitution — not exactly some constitutional historian/wonk.

Prior to 2008ish, he was your run of the mill, middle of the road conservative talker with a low rated CNN show.

"Beck’s a pompous self-important boob"

I somewhat agree, and I think his speech at CPAC went astray, but with due regard to Bennett, Beck has done more the last year to excite the conservative movement than all of Bennett's political interviews, 50s rock music and, shout outs to truck drivers for the last three years

My problem woth Beck began with his self serving performance on 9/12, but I wonder if he's responding to prompts from Fox. Thay are in the marketing and entertainment business, first and foremost.

I've been listening too him since 2006 so I know for a fact that you are not telling the truth.

Bennett was a braggard and a blowhard that couldn't control his gambling habit so he had to turn down the VP nomination from Dole. Like Kemp and the "Empower America" crowd, he favored low taxes without cutting spending. I can see why Beck's analysis rubbed him the wrong way.

Oh, you prefer a "Constitutional scholar" who teaches it? Like Barack Obama?

"...a low rated CNN show"

Got some numbers you can cite, or is your low opinion of Beck just making you talk out of your butt? BTW -- he was on CNN Headline News, which isn't carried in all the same places that CNN is. It's a miracle that he was even able to work there, considering the content of some of the shows.

...and so sanctimonious. He's a broken record - founding fathers ... constitution ... But when he says there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats he exposes how much of an real idiot he is.
