What do you think of this ISH...
Glenn Beck is not known for his compassion. As host of the third highest rated radio talk show and a new program soon to debut on Fox News, Beck courts controversy regularly. His caustic and often conservative commentary has offended Mexicans, Jews and Muslims, which is why his New York Times best seller extolling the virtues of forgiveness and the Christmas spirit might surprise some. The Christmas Sweater is a short novel about a young boy who gets a sweater for Christmas instead of a bike, resents his mother for the gift and then plunges into darkness when she dies soon afterward. The book is semiautobiographical — Beck's mother committed suicide when he was a teenager, and he was a longtime alcoholic. TIME spoke to Beck about his past addictions, why he despises politicians and how he's glad CNN's research department gave him a hard time.
