But to Hannity's tax-cut Republicanism and O'Reilly's grumpy social conservatism, Beck adds an au courant strain of grievance. Beck had a similar program on Headline News (which I appeared on once), on which he at one point asked a Muslim Congressman to "prove to me that you are not working with our enemies."

Summers served as president at Harvard through fiscal year 2006, when he earned $610,556 in compensation and benefits and received nearly $100,000 in his expense account, according to publicly available tax information required from non-profit institutions.
