Court Jester fits his credentials well, and who wouldn't want to be able to make fun of the King without getting your head cut off?

And he is still making tons of it, by producing tons of "other stuff."

Heck, that bunch will be shooting each other in the back in hopes of making an extra nickel and becoming more powerful.

We saw that in the Republican primary debates. We saw that in the rise of right-wing pundits. Once there was William F. Buckley and George Will - Then there was Pat Buchanan. Then there was Rush Limbaugh. And then there was the whole Fox News bandwagon of craziness. And Glenn Beck is pretty much in the avant guard of crazyland in terms of being batshit nuts - pushing the limits but still within the mainstream of today's Grand Old Party.

I don't think he is just faking being nuts - for the ratings and the money. I think in his case - it is real.

He's a liar and a whore. Simple as that. He doesn't care about anything except his bank balance.
