Stephen Colbert does Glenn Beck one better: Peer deeeep into his gut
By David Neiwert Thursday Feb 12, 2009 9:00am
Stephen Colbert seems to have noticed the same thing we have -- Glenn Beck's new Fox show is one nutty batch of granola -- particularly the episode last week where he had his audience peering deeply into his eyes.
Colbert decides that what America really needs is for the viewing audience to peer deeply into ... well, you have to watch and see.
And speaking of Beck's wingnuttery flittering off into uncharted regions, he nearly created one of those right-wing black holes again yesterday by having Jonah Goldberg, still hawking Liberal Fascism a year later, appear on the show, so they could talk about how Obama is pushing America into socialism with much more nefarious ends in mind.
I think we may be witnessing one of those spectacular media flameouts in the making. Stay tuned ...

Talk about yucchy eyeballs
Hope you haven't had lunch yet
Or are bulimic

... those are the eyeballs of a normal, healthy adult male.
I mean, don't we usually see the whites under the iris only in photos of psychotic mass murderers?
is so great! I missed that one. Hilarious!
As much as I hate and cannot stand Beck, perhaps he should stay on the air....Stephen and others will have great material for their own shows!
I still don't know how you do it, though, David....I saw about 2 seconds of Beck in that 2nd clip and couldn't take it. Even Jonah Goldberg is far more tolerable than Beck is.....maybe that's their strategy...have Beck appear so crazy, so insane, that people like Goldberg will appear to be "normal."
posted that GB was imitating Jack Bauer or whatever Keif's name is on That Terror Show( I dont watch Fox)
makes sense, Fox execs see Colbert's and Stewart's ratings
and are pushing their Floons to make more $$ for them ..
thats why BillO is doing Comedy Gold these days ...
I actually like "24," but it is a fantasy (and sometimes gets too repetitive). As John Amato pointed out yesterday, it is kind of strange seeing Janeane Garafolo on that show....but I also think that Kiefer Sutherland, along with his dad Donald, are members of a left-wing political group in Canada. Not sure about that, but I have read it, and have read that he favors socialistic policies.
About BillO et al, I kind of sense that the crew of asses on FNC seem to be joking it up more than in the past. Hannity's trying to be "funny" with his "LI-BE-RAL" "TRANS-LA-TION" thing....I really don't get it at all....it's pretty stupid....but I guess he thinks it's funny.
And last night, I think BillO the Clown tried to introduce some laughter in most of his segments. Wasn't funny, but he thought so.
I guess Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert (and Letterman) are getting under their skins over there at the Faux News Network.
not sure about the Sutherlands ... but Donald was born in the province where I live ... think they still vacation here ..
but i have no secret info ... unless the left wing political group is the Liberal Party :)
and why do emigres from your Commonwealth "Country" always steal great macho American roles from native born actors.
I mean its is bad enough that K. Sutherland plays and all American torturer, or that Lorne Greene was an imperial cattle baron, but when Dan Ackroyd played a conehead, that took the cake.
and as far as Canuck heroes go:

I just took a glance at this Bobby Bittman video....and in the "Related Video" section was one for Joey Hetherton and Serta mattresses!
did a killer JH on the old SCTV show... ?
Why do those crazy liberals like Neil Young from Canada sing those anti-American songs about war and people getting shot by National Guardsmen?
I love Coneheads!
Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock, BOTH Canadians.
It's a conspiracy!
Kiefer is Tommy Douglas's grandson. Tommy's daughter, Shirley, was married to Donald Sutherland for awhile and Kiefer is their son. Donald was known for being left-leaning. I believe Kiefer is pretty left-leaning too.
Tommy Douglas was the leader of a Canadian social democratic party, the Co-Operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF)in the province of Saskatchewan, and the Premier of Saskatchewan in the 1940s. Tommy later went on to become a Member of Parliament and the leader for the Federal wing of the party.
The CCF is now known as the New Democratic Party (NDP). The name change happened sometime in the 1960s, I think.
Tommy is known as the father of Canadian Medicare, and a few years ago he was voted the Greatest Canadian.
BTW, I noticed that Beck talks about universal healthcare as if it's a big evil boogyman, but doesn't explain why it's so evil. What's up with that?
I couldnt remember the connection ...
and thank g*d for Tommy Douglas.
why these kooks think that universal healthcare is so evil. I lived in Europe for 4 years. I only had to use healthcare for minor issues a couple of times, and it worked just fine. In fact, I was once able to get some over the counter medication that you can't get here.
I had a Dutch friend who is diabetic. Twice she wound up in the hospital when I was over there. Her main complaint was that she couldn't get a private room. My own brother here in the States had a very serious gall bladder problem last summer and couldn't get a private room!
These jerks like Beck have never explained why it's so "evil." I guess it's "evil" because the big bad government will take all of our money in the form of taxes.
before the government was heavily involved in medicine and healthcare?
FEMA cant deliver fuel or water, the SEC cant protect us against Enron and Bernie Madoff and the politicians dont know what to do about the economy, but they need all our money.
Ive got more faith in people than I will ever have in government.
The healthcare problems are a direct result of government interventionism through lobbyists and regulations. If healthcare was so terrible before the government got its hands on it, why did we have the best healthcare in the world?
Freedom works. Government does not.
Genius. "How far up your own ass are you willing to go?"
She saw a future with your psychopathic ass in it.
and I see sadness. I wish the guy would get some psychiatric help.
...and Stephen Colbert is pretty funny too.
Stephen Colbert does Glenn Beck one better: Peer deeeep into his gut...

Now there's a pair of lazy lying wingnut miscreants. Doughy, the large skin bag filled with corn syrup and Cheetohs and the door to door brush salesman.

"I think we may be witnessing one of those spectacular media flameouts in the making."
Glenn "The Sky Is Falling" Beck is the finest example of "The Peter Principle" = Glenn's meteoric rise to his Level of Incompetence has been something wondrous to behold!
... rise to your level of incompetence if you've always been an incompetent nincompoop to begin with.
as i had hoped as i watched it last night, but it was one of the best smackdowns i have ever had the pleasure to witness.
Beck thinks of himself as a prophet, a voice in the wilderness.
Can we just cut to the quick, hire a stripper to give him a quick lap dance, [Deleted-Sitemonitor]
So did Ted Kaczynski.
Glenn Beck is a comedy goldmine motherload.
Surely Mr. Colbert and/or Mrs. Stewart can spread the wealth of comedy genius from Mr. Beck to Billo for his pathetic assault on Helen Thomas.
Oooh, there's a gruesome twosome - Glenn Cokehead and Doughy Pantload.
Good thing the Dr. wasn't looking at doughy pantload's gut. He would have had some obstucals in the way.
my jaw hurt from laughing.
Though, SC is usually far less direct than this? The delivery seemed a bit more like John Stewart to me, he went straight to call beck nuts, rather than roundabout as usual.
it's just impossible to pull your punches. I think this is one of those times.
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are pretty funny, but this is one of SC's best bits.
Beck is functionally retarded.
beck and hayes are too effin pathetic....
so, my knuckle dragging wingnut enemies: is it 'socialism' or is it 'fascism', please get your fear mongering straight and keep it consistent.
He talks about the American voter and politicians and says, "This is the best we can do folks." Well Carlin was right.
"... At thirty years old, Glenn’s drug and alcohol addiction spiraled out of control, and he lost everything—his wife, his job, his money, and any sense of who he was. With the help of Alcoholics Anonymous, he got sober and began a search for God and the meaning of life. He enrolled at Yale University to study theology, but he only lasted one semester, finding more questions than answers. ..."

Yet another loser floats to the top. Bush did it. Glenn Beck did it.
America is in love with failure, in love with the come back.
Isn't that sad. In American media, this is the best we can do folks.
The way to deal with the Bush's and Beck's is to reform the U.S. high school system so half the children don't come out high and drunk...
Dope floats
turds.

Oddly enough, I've been watching FOX's new show "Lie to Me" (very good by the way) and one of the early things that the show talks about is that a person is more likely lying to you if they're looking at you. The liar needs to see if their lie is believed.
That was about 10 degrees TOO FUNNY. Thank you for posting!
the language of my generation." Well, well, well . . . this guy's pseudo-intellectual adolescent drivel is now public. I would argue that the language of this generation is something along the lines of . . . "How did it happen that a significant number of the baby boomers (now fat, old, ossified and hateful white men) who have managed to acquire power have basically pissed on the values of their fathers and mothers who died fighting fascism 60 years ago and are now consciously and intentionally undermining the democracy and wealth that nurtured them?"
This attempt to stereotype a generation is as weird as it gets. It is not the fault of a generation, a race or a gender. It is the fault of a culture of greed fueled by an economic system that relies on taking resources from most to serve the few. If you have not figured out the mess we are in yet that would be at the heart of it. A very small number of people control most of the wealth leaving the rest of us to fight over the scraps. Beck is here to tell us that taking the money from those who stole it and giving it back to the rest of us is 1) Nazism 2) Communism 3) Socialism 4) Satanism or 5) All of the above. By the very definition of the crisis we are in most people of the same generation Beck is in (including white men) are fucked.
Beck and GWB both got into Yale? Man I'm glad I went to state schools and graduated without any debt :)
Good job capturing the best stills from the video. What? He always has that moronic expression on his face? Oh, nevermind, my mistake.
I havent laughed so hard in .. I dunno .. years !!!
Hilarious!! Beck is high on hatred and obviously some drugs from the addict, Limp-Dick.
I looked into his eyes and all I could see was the millions of dollars he gets for telling folks to look into his eyes. Vain MFr isn't he?
Mr. French?
Of coarse, you get nothing butt the truthiness from steven.
...even compared to the Colbert Show's other work.
Stephen jumped on his inspired metaphor cycle, dumped his bag of infinite insight into the character of a raving mental patient into the sidecar seat, and took the Easy Softball Highway all the way home.
He ain't too sharp. Fact is, his "bio" makes me tink he is pretty stooopid, like dem odder drop outs.....aaahhhhh, Hannity...and dat fat faced fuck...Rosh Limbawwwwlll.
Day need one more smart mouth to play 4-handed, double deck, canasta! Remember dat game? Hahaha...

Colbert hit it out of the park.
Beck really is a loon and he is does talk out of his ass.
doesn't he still live with his mommy and daddy and suck on his mommies titties?
THAT is funniest thing I've seen in a very long time!
Obviously a mouth-breathing, cuckoo-for-cocopuffs fruitcake like Glenn Beck is fodder for every conceivable kind of lampoon, but Colbert's skewer is first-est and best-est.
Holy shit, that is hilarious...
