Stewart vs. Beck O-TEN

So The Daily Show is on break this week, but I'm always a little behind because I watch it online. Stewart dedicated the first half of the show to a Glen Beck impression. It's an impressive and scathing 15min. I've embedded the majority below. Canadian link.

Stewart astutely takes Beck's logic to its illogical extent on the issue of the degredation of political and ethical principles. If health care swings us to Russia, then Jesus swings us to Iran. Indeed, there are many examples of nations which have theocratic governments, and Beck never misses an opportunity to tell us how we need to bomb them with gusto.

Now, this isn't the first time Stewart has done his Beckpression. Stewart has done this once before (Can link), and indeed it was funnier then, but it didn't take up the bulk of the show. I wonder if dedicating half their last show before the break is meant to stir up a shit storm. It's not like Fox and/or TDS don't like a good fight. I mean, both revel in this sort of mudslinging. Beck can delegitimize Stewart as the jester mouthpiece for the liberal agenda, and Daily Show can shore up a reel of moronic and morally detestable Beck sound clips for Fox hating guffaws. Viewers will eat it up. I know I did when TDS took on Jim Cramer.

But then again, maybe Beck will just take it all in good fun...

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

It's so ingenious it almost doesn't make any sense what so ever.
