One more for the road

Good bye, and good riddance. 27 plus months of tv insanity is finally coming to an end. Too bad the damage Beck has done to this country in that short period will take much, much longer to repair.

Because the truth is that Beck's ouster isn't really the end of the nightmare, but just the beginning of the end. Over the last 27 months, Beck -- and let's be clear that he had a lot of help from the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin and Sean Hannity and Rand Paul and all the folks in the Tea Party Movement -- managed to do incalculable harm to the American body politic, that Beck was exactly like Tom and Daisy Buchanan in "The Great Gatsby" who "smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness.."

I had to snag the whole episode after watching the first clip. It was great.

I think I actually saw a minute or two (about all I can stand) of the GB episode this is parodying, and the sad part is that most of Jon's caricature is in the goofiness of the poses, faces and yelling, not really in the content. I think even in the couple minutes I saw, Beck essentially said the world is coming to and end.

It boggles my mind that anyone can take him seriously (sadly, I think my mother does). It's like being a seventh day adventist, except Beck probably predicts apocalypse more regularly.
