I don't really care all that much because I'm not about to join the John Birch Society but I'm suspicious of Levin saying that he didn't speak at CPAC because the Birchers were there. Is the real reason because he didn't want to be upstaged by Beck?

Levin is in no danger of being upstaged by anyone not named Rush Limbaugh.

Well, you say that, and I would certainly think that but the fact is, Beck was given the coveted Saturday Night Lecture and Levin was offered something else and grumbled "not if the Birchers are there" and, I'm sorry, could it be...

Personality preferences aside, you put Beck and Levin at the same show: Beck sucks up all of the oxygen. Beck attracts the crowds. Beck gets all of the soundbites. Beck grabs 90% of the headlines.

Levin knows that and it rankles him every waking moment of his life right now.
