The only downside of the CNBC comeuppance delivered by Jon Stewart on Wednesday night is that it overshadowed this brilliant takedown of Glenn Beck's "war room" delusions from last week. Instant classic, particularly Colbert's "craziest" scenario at the end:
I fondly remember the times Atrios used to mock Beck's ratings, but I always kept in mind the possibility that Beck's formerly crummy ratings were more a product of no one watching Headline News, rather than his show being terrible.
We still haven't hit peak wingnut, and one can hope Beck's ratings are just curious onlookers to his trains-full-of-puppies-colliding level disaster of a show, but it seems there is ever more audience for angry white men shouting foolishness on TV. No recession on the Crazy Exchange.
