Dumbing down grammar

I'm not usually the grammar police, but I find it incredibly frustrating to get a long blast email from Paul Begala, a top democratic strategist who helped Clinton win the White House, with the following phrase as the subject and repeated all throughout the message: "Santorum Can Be Beat".

Either Begala doesn't know that it should be "beaten", which is frustrating, or he is dumbing down his grammar to speak to the masses, which pisses me off even more.
