I have to admit that if there was a chance in hell that this was coming through New York City, I'd be seriously tempted to throw down the money to see this…

Enough is enough — it's time for the truth from somebody who'll give it to you straight, whether you like it or not. Actually, make that… somebodys — Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck. This January, they're coming out from behind their desks and going on tour. Your town may never be the same.

My God! The twin diamonds that dangle most brightly from the Fox family's jewel sack. On tour together! Is this the greatest cultural event of our lifetime? I'm sure it's the greatest cultural event of somebody's lifetime.

Don't miss out on the rare opportunity to see these two men live on stage. It's an event that makes professional wrestling seem like a night at the opera.

Can you even imagine getting to see these two guys up on stage together? This thing is totally going to make professional wrestling seem like a night at the– Wait, what?

Aw, man. That was gonna be my punchline.

This cartoon from Al Gore's Current TV had the temerity to label poor little Sarah Palin — who never said an unkind word about another human being — as a "Twilf" and showed her Twitter handle as being "Gun-Ho."

Obviously, this is the biggest scandal ever in the history of these United States of America…

That bit at the end, with Glenn Beck gleefully hurling his own feces at detractors, that seemed unfair.

He'd almost certainly be crying.

On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart pointed out that Sean Hannity has been passing off footage from Glenn Beck's 9/12 rally as footage of a recent health care reform protest. It's certainly troubling. I don't know what to believe about Sean Hannity now. For all we know, his never-ending manipulative, bigoted, nationalistic, disingenuous, opportunistic rabble-rousing was stolen from someone else.

The Daily Show airs Monday through Thursday at 11pm / 10c.

You may have heard that Rupert Murdoch — dark overlord of the News Corp empire — has recently unveiled, in an interview, his plan for world domination through making his sites invisible to Google's search engines and trying to abolish fair use.

Well, in that selfsame interview, he also backed up Glenn Beck — News Corp's newest bride — on his startling revelation, a few months back, that Barack Obama is a racist for reasons that are both too obvious to mention and too obscure to explain…

"On the racist thing, that caused a [unintelligible]," Murdoch said in an interview with his Sky News Australia over the weekend. "But [Obama] did make a very racist comment about blacks and whites and so on, which he said in his campaign he would be completely above. And that was something which perhaps shouldn't have been said about the President, but if you actually assess what he was talking about, [Beck] was right."

Oh, yes. That very racist comment about blacks and whites and so on. Who could possibly forget that very racist comment about blacks and whites and so on. Not with all the blacks and whites and so on rioting in the streets in the very racist comment's aftermath.

I guess sometimes we dismiss statements from Glenn Beck as merely nonsensical, offensive, bullshit from a clownish, mentally-feeble, obnoxious, morally bankrupt, unwatchable imbicile.

But things aren't always so black and white and so on.

I usually don't watch Saturday Night Live, because I already saw that one sketch they do. But, as it turns out, sometimes they do some other sketches. Like this one…

Dede Scozzafava never got to  realize her goal of making it into the United States House of Representatives, which must be difficult. And I don't suppose that making it into the Urban Dictionary is much consolation…

Scozzafavaed
(Pronounced: /skoʊzəfavəd/)
-verb

1. Purged of moderation, e.g., within in a Congressional district
2. Inadvertently revealed internal chaos, e.g., within in a political party
3. Adj., Doomed due to popular support of the GOP electorate

"Dude, you see Glenn Beck talking about how our congressman supports indoctrinating us in the ways of socialism through paper money last night? We need to get him Scozzafavaed."

Could have been worse. Could have been much worse.
