Over the past 7 days two of America's most famous personalities had very good weeks. Just a week ago today liberal bloggers and talking head types were discussing and relishing the impending embarrasment that Sarah Palin was going to experience at the hands of Alaskan voters. I am speaking of the Republican Primary for Senate. Palin had endorsed and recorded robo-calls for Tea Party favorite Bill Miller against sitting Senator Lisa Murkowski. Miller was not given a chance and liberals were salivating to make hey out of Palin's demise as a political king maker. It wasn't to be Miller currently holds a 1500 vote lead over Murkowski and 10's of thousands of absentees to be counted. Regardless of the final count Palin can rightfully tout her influence on that election.
Secondly, Mr. Beck held his rally at the Lincoln Memorial over the weekend. I have never suggested that Mr. Beck is a stupid man regardless of the some of the completely stupid things he espouses. He is at heart an entertainer and is therefore not bound by any set of central fact or theme. That being said he held a "successful" event this weekend. The crowds were reported to larger than expected and impressive by most any measure. (although not near the size of Obama's inauguration. That only matters in that a number of supporters suggest that it was) It was by all accounts a peaceful rally less the offensive signage and propaganda that has at times been displayed at such gatherings. It appears that Beck made a smart tactical decision to turn this from a political rally to religious or spiritual rally. That allowed for a more peaceful and united theme.
Reason.tv an arm of Reason Magazine a truly libertarian publication was on the scene and filed what is a good thorough and even handed report of the events. Take a look.

All that aside remember, it's more important what one does M-F than what they do those few hours in the pews on Sunday morning.
