Your Moment Of Glenn: Jon Stewart Fills In For Beck, Sort Of
Regular viewers of Glenn Beck already know that the popular Fox News anchor is out of commission this week due to a case of appendicitis. Last night on The Daily Show Jon Stewart saw fit to step in and fill in the void…sort of. If Glenn Beck’s nightly performance is considered high art by some, than I’m not sure what how you’d describe Jon Stewart’s rendition of a Beck monologue last night (complete with chalkboard and almost tears) except to say it’s very Beckian.
Stewart speculates, Beck-style, on Glenn Beck’s health in light of the aforementioned appendicitis, as well as his hospitalization more than a year ago due to a botched hemorrhoid operation. The premise of Stewarts monologue is that there may be some sort of medical conspiracy going on having to do with Glenn Beck’s organs: “You know who else didn’t answer medical questions..Hitler….Obviously, I’m not saying this is a plot by Hitler to steal Glenn Beck from all of us internal organ, by internal organ.” Video below:

TfT says: Good — more attention for Beck, more viewers from Beck.
I find it interesting Glynnis has time to show yet again her complete obsession with Glen Beck, while not responding to a very reasonable and sensible questions posed by ImNotBlue on her “teabagger” thread.
Beck, teabagger….are these the only things Glynnis thinks about?
hkyplayer says: TFT,
I notice the obsession also from Glynnis Mac Nicol…I think she takes her news from Jon Stwart also as facts.
DWHarper says: Wow, Ms McNicol sees Stewart’s “premise” as a medical conspiracy? She is even more stupid than I thought. To any thinking viewer, Stewart’s “premise” was to show how ridiculous Beck’s conspiracy theories are and the stupidity of Beck’s arguments through satire. Either she has absolutely no sense of humor or is very dumb or both. I am going with both.
DWHarper says: Of course, there is another reason why Ms. McNicol doesn’t play along with Stewart’s satire. Could it be she doesn’t want to anger all of the teabaggers in her audience who revere Beck. Many teabaggers and their compatriots seem to be the main audience here at Mediaite.
carolb57 says: I missed this last night so thank you for posting it. I just fell off my chair and am rolling on the floor in convulsive laughter! Jon Stewart, you are BRILLIANT!!!!!
germ says: You know who probably laughed hardest (if he can laugh after surgery)? Oh yea, Glenn Beck.
rmbltmbl says: Very low class comedy/mocking.. He’s come a long way from burning the media because of the ACORN vids. I only wonder why that is..
Ted says: Stewart captured the essence of dumb ass-ness that is Glenn Beck. Bravo Jon Stewart!!
sarainitaly says: it’s so funny how much attention everyone who claims to not like Beck actually give him.
Not a big fan of Stewart snark. I can’t wait for the inevitable Saturday Night Live “Glenn Beck” sketch. Jason Sudeikis ( does the Biden impersonation) looks exactly like him.
TinaFromTampa says: I am in full agreement with TfT.
Nice to meet someone here who thinks like I do.
Oops, TfT.
It’s Glenn with TWO n’s.
You’re excused.
You probably have your mind on Levi Johnston.
Speaking of…
Sunnyr says: I adore Glenn Beck and watch him faithfully……but this was hilarious!! lmao! I’ll bet Glenn agrees.
homie says: It’s always an interesting two minutes popping in to see what the teabaggers are saying at Mediate.
“I adore Glenn Beck and watch him faithfully…”
See what I mean? LOL It’s like science class with live specimens.
franciszek says: I normally find Jon Stewart brilliant, but this Beck thing, I didn’t get. Maybe I am really tired, but didn’t get it at all. Glad to hear Beck is out, even if it’s for a while though.
TfT says: TinafromTampa: So now you have taken on someone else’s identify to post here and continue your stalking and obnoxious posts? That’s pretty sick and twisted, but anyone who knows you by your own identity (not so anonymous) already knows you are one sick individual.

“Deem And Pass”: Getting To Know Today’s Political Buzzword
Some have called it the "slaughterhouse rule." Others say "self-executing rule." One Democratic Congressmen on FNC called it a "self-implementing rule." But here's what you need to know about the new possible strategy by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to pass health care reform, known as "deem and pass."
Jon Stewart Goes After Political Sex Scandals And Hypocrisy
This is the reason why Jon Stewart and The Daily Show deserve all the accolades they receive: they take a topic that would be so very banal in the hands of any one else, and make it far more entertaining and informative with their own treatment. In this instance the topic is political sex scandals and the associative and hypocritical rhetoric that follows
