US News: Glenn Beck's Egypt Protest Theories Show He's Finally Lost It [View All]

The man has finally blown a gasket. His pattern-recognition machine is spewing smoke and shards of metal.

In Beck’s bizarro world, the Ayatollah Khomeini and Abbie Hoffman are like the Ponch and John of anti-Americanism. All that rolling around naked in the mud at Woodstock was really a harbinger of Western women one day being forced to wear burqas. The Fugs have reunited, and they’re learning to chant the muezzin.

Beck is a college sophomore with a big budget. He knows just enough history to be dangerous rather than simply ignorant. His self-important lament about having made enemies on the left and right is a textbook martyr complex.

Alas, this nonsense is only going to get more nonsensical. Beck, whose ratings on both TV and radio are falling, is going to keep chasing after the high he enjoyed at his grandiose rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

But sane people will stop paying attention.
