Tears of a Clown: Glenn Beck and the Tea Bagging of America

July 9, 2011

Dana Milbank is a syndicated columnist for the Washington Post and a former prize winning White House reporter. He has also provided commentary for CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, and NPR. He is the author of several books including the national bestseller, Homo Politicos. His newest book is titled, Tears of a Clown: Glenn Beck and the Tea Bagging of America.

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.
