I really don't buy that Glenn Beck is as crazy as he appears. The male Ann Coulter act is helping get Beck ratings. Many people would go on television and behave like fools. That is why reality televsion and the Jerry Springer Show exist.

Stephen Colbert gives Beck the treatment he deserves. The problem with parodying Beck is that the latter is a parody of conservative talk show hosts. Beck is to the news what Hulk Hogan is to athletics. Both go onstage and play characters. I don't doubt both Beck and Hogan are strange in real life. However, Beck would have been arrested years ago if he really believed in armed revolution. Hogan doesn't body slam every person he sees. The stage persona is theatre and bad theatre at that.

I'd pay goo money to see Hulk Hogan bodyslam everyone he met. Jesus, that's a VH1 show waiting to happen.

"Hogan is at the supermarket, getting meat from the butcher -- OOHHHHH! THAT HADTA HURT!"

"Hogan is taking a tour of the burn victims unit at the hospital today. DAYUM! THAT 5 YEAR OLD GOT SMOKED!"

Aww shiat. I'd buy a TV and leave leave the house.

Never leave the house, rather. I guess I got so excited I repeated some words and forgot others.

Hulk Hogan bodyslammed Richard Belzer for real. Unfortunately, Youtube took the video down.
