but it’s funnier b/c it’s glenn beck.
why didn’t fox news test it out first? i mean, if you’re trying to make a dramatic point, how hard would it have been to throw a frog into hot water before you went on air?
Can anyone any longer doubt that Glenn Beck is a comedian and this whole “pundit” schtick is just his elaborate joke? This is basically the Colbert Report at a whole new level.

whoever posted that video cleverly edited out the end: “Forget about the Republicans, because most of them are fake. Forget about the Republicans, because most of them are fake. And forget about the frog, because it was fake!”
oooooh. got me good. glad that’s cleared up.
maybe it’s a shtick, but is anyone taking to the streets for colbert? eh, maybe.
You made milk come out my nose.
I was going to say…someone call PETA!
(on a side note: is it a little messed up that I would think it’s perfectly ok to throw a real frog in boiling water, as long as said frog was going to be someone’s dinner, but not if it was just going to be a prop?)
Has anyone else noticed just how far right Fox News has gone? Glenn Beck aside, Karl Rove is one of their political analysts.
