That’s a lot of cranial sucking sounds packed into one TV studio

Watching Glenn Beck (no relation) interview Ben Stein about the latter’s foundering film Expelled! is like observing a schizophrenic urologist interviewing a syphilitic, talking phallus. Nevertheless there’s a certain value in watching Beck crow “If the New York Times hates it, you know it’s gotta be good!” and Stein indulge in shameless quote-mining and babble about evolution being unable to explain gravity.
What you’re seeing here is a couple of lowly, jowly fellows in suits engaged in separate but weirdly symbiotic quests to exploit the typical U.S. citizen’s lack of scientific background by capitalizing on the one thing they’re good at: lying with pride.
