A couple of weeks ago NPR's Morning Edition ran a series called Conversations with Conservatives featuring a cast of real winners; Richard Land, Grover Norquist, Glenn Beck, and David Keene.
Mr. Beck is probably the leading wack-job of this group, he's certainly the loudest, and has a rich recent history of making patently ridiculous statements. He really took the cake with this one though; responding to Steve Inskeep's query about rising stars within the Republican party, Mr. Beck singled out former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, calling him a Winston Churchill.
INSKEEP: Have you come across someone that you would regard as a rising star that you might put more hope in than many conservatives seem to have put in their Presidential candidates this time around?
BECK: You know, there’s only really one guy that I’ve talked to that I really really like. I think the guy is a Winston Churchill in many ways. He blew his Senate campaign because he spoke the truth. His advisers kept saying, “Don’t say this, don’t say this, this is going to hurt you."
And that's Rick Santorum out of
Really? Rick Santorum? Really? Yeah, speaking the truth is why he didn't get reelected, not because he's a morally repugnant human being and was a terrible, terrible Senator.
Churchillian my ass, if you need to know any more, just google the man.

Funny how Glenn Beck doesn't talk anymore about those dogs he tortured and killed (pit bulls).
