Conservative Ups and Downs

Bye-bye, Beck. Pundit Glen Beck's star is falling. Apparently he forgot he was primarily an entertainer and started believing in his own publicity.

On the other hand, Donald Trump's star is on the rise. He is actually being touted by some as a serious presidential candidate. Hey, isn't this the same tycoon who had to declare bankruptcy several years ago--multiple times, in fact? Or was that just a clever business maneuver he'd like the whole country to try. Whatever, at least if The Donald were elected, we'd have a president whose hairstyle would beat out Korean dictator Kim Jong Il's for weirdness.

And, taken as a pair, they make Sarah Palin look statesmanlike.
