It’s hard to imagine that Glenn Beck had never met Sarah Palin before Wednesday. After all, as Fox News’ lachrymose host suggested in this clip from his eponymous show that very day, the two of them have so much in common. They both think the Obama White House is the stomping ground of radical crazy people — and they were both well represented at Halloween this year.

Beck tells Palin about his trust issues, his thoughts about John McCain — he’s “a progressive” — as well as his thoughts about her as recorded in his journal (awkward!) and speculates, with her input, about whether she’d be able to lead America out of its current morass without losing her soul. Intense! –KA
