MICKEY KAUS: GLENN BECK TRYING TO PUT TOO MUCH GOD INTO THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT? I’m not sure there’s much to worry about here, but it seems pretty clear that small government is the big tent, and it’s a mistake to try to change that.

UPDATE: Reader Brett Rogers writes: “So long as the religious right don’t seek to use the state to force me to please their god, we’re good.” Indeed.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader Robert Crawford emails: “Is it paranoid to notice that the day after Kaus announces he’s going to Newsweak, he tries to start a fight between Beck and Breitbart?” Modern media consumers are so untrusting. And I’m pretty sure the Newsweak wasn’t a typo.
