He used to make me mad back in the days when people took him seriously (as in hosting CNN Headline News during prime time every weekday) but now I just think he's entertaining.
I do not find mentally ill people entertaining - Glenn Beck is not just an act - he's was too much for even FOX NEWS and they have PLENTY of nutty people

He's crazy like a fox. Mentally ill people don't smear vicks vapo-rub in their tearducts to generate fake tears, at least not as far as I know...
