I was expecting a lot less from this interview. I only had the chance to watch the first dozen minutes so far, and am posting this as much to save the link so I can come back and watch the rest later as I am to see what you guys have to say about the whole thing. I thought what I'd see would be Glen Beck calling Jillette a Nazi and all that stuff, but it wasn't that. Maybe there will only be one other person here who gets this, though, but to me it's worth a watch.
I made it about 12 minutes too. I was expecting more from Penn but the part I saw seemed like Penn was going out of his way to find common ground no matter how absurd Beck was. Beck couldn't seem to form a thought and stammered constantly besides just speaking gibberish. No one could watch Beck's "explanation" of our political system and repeat it back and make any sense because it is just simplistic mumbo jumbo designed to convince non-thinking people that he knows what he is talking about. I have to say that his white audience looked like people that were paid $5 off the street to sit there. I could be wrong....I mean they could have been paid $3.
