And it&#8217;s comedy gold.<\/p>\n<p>While discussing Miranda and terror policy, Beck veers off into his familiar frenzied hysterics over the Obama administration and Cass Sunstein &#8211; whom he has called <a href=\"http:\/\/mediamatters.org\/mmtv\/200912070030\" target=\"_blank\">the most dangerous man in America<\/a> &#8211; but O&#8217;Reilly doesn&#8217;t care.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Glenn Beck:<\/strong> You should care.<br \/>\n<strong>Bill O&#8217;Reilly:<\/strong> Tell me the reason.<br \/>\n<strong>GB:<\/strong> Because they are setting up the American people.<br \/>\n<strong>BO:<\/strong> Setting us up for what?<br \/>\n<strong>GB:<\/strong> What do you think?<br \/>\n<strong>BO:<\/strong> I have no idea. What&#8217;s the conspiracy of the day?<br \/>\n<strong>GB:<\/strong> There is no conspiracy.<br \/>\n<strong>BO:<\/strong> What is he setting us up for?<br \/>\n<strong>GB:<\/strong> There is not a conspiracy here. They are already talking about silencing free speech.<br \/>\n<strong>BO:<\/strong> Silencing free speech?<br \/>\n<strong>GB:<\/strong> They are already doing it. They already are. Did you see the President&#8217;s speech on Saturday?<br \/>\n<strong>BO:<\/strong> I&#8217;m not buying it.<br \/>\n<strong>GB:<\/strong> Bill, you didn&#8217;t buy a year ago that the guy was a Marxist.<br \/>\n<strong>BO:<\/strong> And I&#8217;m still yapping, and so are you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When O&#8217;Reilly asked Beck what we are being set up for and Beck answered with a suggestive <em>&#8220;What do you think?&#8221;<\/em> there was a knowing tone to his voice that invoked images of the Twilight Zone&#8217;s <em>&#8220;To Serve Man.&#8221;<\/em> <strong>It&#8217;s a cookbook!<\/strong> Beck never actually answered O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s question, but he did assert that Obama has already begun unraveling freedom of speech. As evidence, Beck pointed to a commencement speech that Obama gave last weekend in which he warned students about being overcome by the information glut. Beck took this to mean that Obama wanted to suppress information, an interpretation that could only make sense to Beck and his devotees. And as a measure of how removed from reality Beck is, even O&#8217;Reilly didn&#8217;t think it made sense.<\/p>\n<p>Equally funny was Beck&#8217;s response to O&#8217;Reilly not buying into his dementia. As proof of his predictive accuracy, Beck threw back in O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s face the fact that O&#8217;Reilly never bought Beck&#8217;s accusations that Obama is a Marxist. The implication being that Obama&#8217;s Marxism has since been definitively confirmed. Once again, the confirmation for that exists only in Beck&#8217;s diseased head. However, O&#8217;Reilly didn&#8217;t bother to disassociate himself with that bit of nonsense.<\/p>\n<p>O&#8217;Reilly hit the nail squarely on the diseased head by making the simple declaration that both he and Beck are <em>&#8220;still yapping.&#8221;<\/em> Yapping is a pretty good description of what they do and there has been no effort whatsoever to restrict them from continuing to do so. In the end, all this segment was was an extended infomercial for their Bold\/Fresh tour that is currently in progress. Both O&#8217;Reilly and Beck stand to gain by hyping the melodrama in order to boost ticket sales. And they have ample airtime with which to promote their wingnut road trip. But the unintentional comedy they provide may be the best entertainment of all, despite how frustrating it must be to the folks at Comedy Central.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"445\" height=\"364\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/s5NWCPDZgTI&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x5d1719&#038;color2=0xcd311b&#038;border=1\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an attempt to deprive Jon Stewart the opportunity to mock Glenn Beck&#8217;s paranoidal delusions, and to prevent Stephen Colbert from further exploiting Bill O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s egotistical sanctimony, Beck and O&#8217;Reilly came together to deliver their own satirical presentation of each others psychoses.
