This week on dialogue host John Milewski sits down with Washington Post Op-Ed columnist Dana Milbank to discuss his latest book, Tears of a Clown: Glenn Beck and the Tea Bagging of America. Milbank chronicles Beck's meteoric rise from a low-rent shock jock to one of the most recognizable leaders of anti-government conservatives in less than a decade. Milbank describes how the wildly popular Fox News host with three million daily viewers perfectly captures the vitriol of our time and the fact-free state of our political culture.
