by Andrew Kirell | 1:25 pm, June 4th, 2013
On his show last night, Glenn Beck donned a wig and mustache and had a good ol conversation with himself.
Riffing on the reports that former Internal Revenue Service head Douglas Shulman visited the White House 150 times during his tenure including discussions about the IRS role in implementing the Affordable Care Act Beck suggested the White House coordinated IRS plans to target conservative groups by staging a hypothetical conversation that never happened between government officials in the Oval Office.
Donning a Boston Bruins baseball cap (Conspiracy theory? The IRS was behind the Boston bombings? Why that cap, Mr. Beck?!?!), Beck plays the role of an oafish IRS official who hates those damn Jews and those crazy tea partiers. Across the way, Beck #2 is a White House official wearing a mustache and wig, speaking with an accent that strangely sounds like a combination of the Eastern European bear from The Cleveland Show, video game hero Mario, and Andy Kaufmans Latka Gravas character.
The five-minute conversation takes shots at President Obama for reportedly getting his news from his television; mocks those who assume the White House would never lie; manages to blast Becks favorite shadowy target, legal scholar Cass Sunstein; and confuses the heck out of everyone who puts an ounce of effort into parsing the content of the discussion.

(13,776 posts)2. I can't bear to watch
I used to not be able to watch him because, well, what was the point? I don't need my blood pressure raised. But now, it's kind of like watching Amanda Bynes. Something very sad is going on, very publicly. (I feel sorry for Amanda Bynes; not so much for this guy, though, for all kinds of reasons but especially because it is probably still within his mental capacity to cut this crap out.)
I no longer make fun of him because it feels wrong - I believe he has a serious mental illness and I believe it is genetic (his mum committed suicide)

certainly puts things into perspective.
Clearly he needs mental health attention.
