Glenn Beck Gets Ready To Tea Bag

Well, Americans, our day is almost here! As you know April 15th is National Tea Party Day! Or if you want to go by it's full title, it's Fox News Channel presents a Freedom Works Production based on the short rant of Rick Santelli of Tax Day Tea Parties starring Glenn Beck, Michelle Malkin, Newt Gingrich, Sean Hannity and the Fox News Dancers.

And of all the teabaggers, none is more hyped up and ready to be dipped than Mr. Glenn Beck. As you will see when you watch this video of his Tea Party preparations. Take a look.

As others have noted, Glenn is getting harder and harder to satirize. I mean really, is it that far off to imagine him dressing up in a tea bag? This is the same man who just in the last week has pretended to be President Obama dousing a man in gasoline. He had an actor pretend to be Thomas Paine to promote the Fox News teabagging. Hell, a man fainted on his set, and people thought it was just part of the act. You know, Glenn being Glenn. And this is just in the last week!

Oh, and he's going on a stand up comedy tour. I've seen his act, and it's pretty good. However, it is a bit of a Jeff Foxworthy "you might be a redneck" rip off. See, Glenn goes on stage and says things like...

"If you randomly burst into tears at highly inopportune moments, like a four year old who hasn't had his nap... you might be a Glenn Beck."

"If instead of canned goods, your fallout shelter is full of unsold copies of A Christmas Sweater... you might be a Glenn Beck."

"If you're constantly using words you don't know the meaning of... like socialist, communist, fascist, and populist... you might be a Glenn Beck."

Hey! I got an idea. Whoever writes the best "You might be a Glenn Beck" joke in the comments section below, I'll mail them a free Headzup t-shirt. No kidding. Get a commenting!

Also, feel free to follow me on Twitter if you're someone who does that sort of thing.

Someone else is a close 2nd to Beck this week. Palin has completely gone off her rocker. There is a new episode as of yesterday. The P I C T U R E with the Story is PRICELESS... though.
" Naughty Governor"..?

Yeah, the crazies seem to be getting crazier.

[grumbles]

Glen Beck IS a teabag!!!!!!!!!!

[Matthew Filipowicz - Huffpost Blogger]

Well, no one can argue against that.

[creepsinc]

If you're a Mormon televangelist pretending to be one of history's most famous atheists, you could only be Glenn Beck.

[Matthew Filipowicz - Huffpost Blogger]

Yeah right?

[annabella kat]

if you wax apoplectic you might be, glen beck

[Matthew Filipowicz - Huffpost Blogger]

that is true.

[Adrio]

If you watch apoplectic, you might be Beck's audience.

[Matthew Filipowicz - Huffpost Blogger]

This too is true!

[gemini1]

I can tell without a shadow of doubt that there is no one like glenn beck on british television.

[NiceguyEddie]

Outside of the fictionalized Britain in the movie "V for Vendetta," I doubt you have a Sean Hannity, Bill O'Rielly, Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter either.

[Matthew Filipowicz - Huffpost Blogger]

You're lucky in that regard, gemini.

[Adrio]

Glenn Beck operates in the shadow of doubt. Without that pretext, he has no show.

[myzenthing]

If you're the front runner for winning the next Darwin Awards...you might be a Glenn Beck.

[Matthew Filipowicz - Huffpost Blogger]

Funny!

[Torus34]

Mr. Beck's morning show is, arguably, the funniest thing on radio today.

[Matthew Filipowicz - Huffpost Blogger]

Do you mean funny "ha-ha", or funny "weird"?

[jackieucb]

If, in your former radio show host days, you used to cry on air and moan about your alcoholic adulterous ways and "serial cheating with Jeff Gagnon types"; even though you go on to meet a woman and marry (though there are no photos of you both together) and you go on to complete the 12 steps to a holier than thou persona, appealing to the elderly and uninformed who hang on your every false tear and choking editorializing; - you might be Glenn Beck.

[Matthew Filipowicz - Huffpost Blogger]

Wow. That one's complex!

[dbw53022]

Does anyone remember Andy Kaufman? The world watched in awe, as he self-destructed. Why do I get the feeling that in the next 24 months, the Glenn Beck saga is going to end tragically?

[jennyquatro]

It's obvious that Glenn Beck's 15 minutes has gone on about 15 minutes too long. He makes Bill O look positively saintly!

[Matthew Filipowicz - Huffpost Blogger]

Saintly and sane. How messed up is that?

[Adrio]

If you can spawn a nation-wide epidemic of coulrophobia, you might be a Glenn Beck.

[Matthew Filipowicz - Huffpost Blogger]

I had to look up what coulrophobia was... that's funny.

[jackstraw005]

if you are the last to realize everyone is laughing at you.......... you might be glenn beck

[Matthew Filipowicz - Huffpost Blogger]

Nice!

I admit it! I listen to Glenn Beck. Only after I listened to Stephanie Miller for 2 years online from her KTLK station and quit her because of her crazy moon bat obsession with Obama. Yes I was a Hillary supporter.

Glenn like all other radio hosts, both liberal and conservative, take liberties with the truth, distort the facts and all around try to make the other side look like idiots. It's the typical talk radio format.

Glenn has been getting moon battish lately but not anymore than his talk radio peers. I mean did anyone ever listen to Mike Malloy's nut job rants when he was on the air???

I disagree with a lot of Glenn's points especially the god-based claims. I am an atheist and called in to disagree with one of his points and I'm disappointed that I never really got to make my point. He sidetracked me with some long monologue of American "progressivism." All I wanted to discuss was his erroneous view that the Founders based this country on Judeo-Christian principles.

Then people posted the You tube video of "Adella the Atheist from Orlando" His staff misspelled my name though. One "l" Glenn.

You can tell how something really annoys him and I guess politically conservative atheists annoy him. Good!

[Matthew Filipowicz - Huffpost Blogger]

I don't know. Michael Savage is the only other host I've seen that even comes close to how crazy Beck is. And I think Beck is crazier.

[NiceguyEddie]

Tough call. Beck is the more pathetic of the two, but Savage is scarier, if only because he's far more agressive about it.

[sisterdebmac]

For the record, Malloy is still on. I just listened to him about a week ago. Wanna make somethin' of it?

[woodsywizz]

1) If you hold a rally at the Alamo and don't know that "alamo" means "cottonwood tree" -- you might be Glenn Beck.

2) If you try to gather rednecks in San Antonio, and don't realize most of us are BROWN-necks -- you might be Glenn Beck!

3) If you think we give a rodent's posterior about thieving Yankees holding rallies "at the Alamo" when the homeless shelters are full of residents and low on funds...well then you just need to stop watching Fox News, sell your house, and give your money to the poor. That's what Jesus told you to do. Pay attention. Are you ready to face God?

[Matthew Filipowicz - Huffpost Blogger]

I like them!

[adelita01]

I am one of those brown necks you speak of and I listen to Glenn Beck.

[Eykis]

As a native Texan, who does know Texas history....Beck has no clue the Texans LOST the Alamo, they won at SAN JACINTO.

Beck is going to be mighty surprised and wonder where all the "illegals" came from in San Antone! It ought to be a hoot.

Faux Noise sponsoring Teabagging Parties makes perfect sense - for fools, bigot, racists and just plain ignoramuses.

[Dan Forth]

Check out their map of the Alamo Protest. It points to the coast south of Houston and not near San Antonio, so their Geography is no better than their history. Teabagging to support slavery?

[cactuspie]

If the acme of perfection to aspire to in your show is 'hour-long car wreck', you might be a Glenn Beck.

[Matthew Filipowicz - Huffpost Blogger]

He certainly is a train wreck.
