Glenn Beck

Have found a very funny Conservative program -- the Glenn Beck program. He uses a lot of humor, including a commercial I just heard about the EvilConservative Disenfranchising Pole, designed by Haliburton, built by slave-laborers, and distributed by John Ashcroft -- used to yank out annoying Kerry yard signs. Very funny commercial. He also had a "Doctor" on earlier who was obviously part of the show, a Liberal called in and blasted the doctor's credentials, and Beck just ran with it, never letting on that the doctor wasn't real. I was rolling.

Oh yeah, Beck is priceless.
Wait until you hear his comedy bit about Steven Hawking "Big Banging Yo' Mama"!
His monologue Kool-Aid's new failed spokesman the "Grapest" (who sneaks up on unsupecting childen and sodomizes them) is painfully funny too.

Edit:

His monologue [about] Kool-Aid's new failed spokesman...

Beck is pretty humorous. I was able to hear him before I moved to college.

Yeah, he was pretty funny for a little while, but eventually I found that it just got old. It didn't help that I was laughing at him almost as often as I was laughing with him. And I must admit I suspect he tends to preferentially let the most nutty and stupid of liberals to get through the call screeners, but of course it could just be due to the general stupidity of the human population and he doesn't need the help.

Where all is he broadcast? I remember listening to him back in Ohio, but I got the impression that he didn't have anywhere near the national popularity of, for example, Rush Limbaugh, who IIRC has mentioned Beck a few times on his show, back when I used to listen. I actually found Rush to become stale after Beck just because I wasn't expecting to be entertained in the same way.
