Stephen Colbert completely obliterated Glenn Beck on last night's Colbert Report. This is a thing of beauty.

I saw this and I agree. This is probably one of the best bits Colbert has ever done! And that's saying a lot.
ReplyDeleteSeven minutes well spent, it is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteStephen Colbert rules!!!
ReplyDeleteBeck is an opportunistic televangelist that preaches his own brand of "end times" theology, distorting even common events with the most sinister meaning.
Because he is a member of my parent's church, they hang on his every word, and his toxic rants has them terrified.
I just despise Beck, and my tiny act of rejection of him and his horror show is to turn over the copies of his book, so the back cover picture of his pouting, teary, baby-man face is facing outward.
Instead of Beck's or Palin's book, I wholeheartedly recommend "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown.
ReplyDeleteYep, Silver Gopher was funny. But Colbert has demolished Beck before... and before... and before... with greater effect, and less bloviation. It was a retread of 'greatest hits', and I kept thinking, "You've said that before!"
ReplyDeleteThere are other issues that could use Colbert's searing attention -- I'd settle for two minutes on reproductive rights, three on California's determination to dismantle its school system (while selling drilling rights for pennies, five feet off Huntington Beach)and how about the banks' physical removal of customers who try to talk about revisiting impossible mortgage payments?
Beck is discredited. FOX is still the only free news service delivered overseas. And our president is being bribed with shiny objects and coin to at least consider not going into Iran.
