Sarah Palin: Glenn Beck 'An Inspiring Patriot' (TIME 100)

Sarah Palin: Glenn Beck 'An Inspiring Patriot' (TIME 100): "TIME has named Glenn Beck one of the 100 most influential people in the world.

And they commissioned another member of their TIME 100, Sarah Palin, to write the article praising Beck.

'Who'd have thought a history buff with a quirky sense of humor and a chalkboard could make for such riveting television?' Palin wrote of Beck, who she compared to the high school government teacher so many wish they'd had, charting and connecting ideas with chalk-dusted fingers -- kicking it old school -- instead of becoming just another talking-heads show host.'"
