Beck's the pundit you turn to when Hannity's too complicated for you.

I regard him as a kind of "political 'Poe.' "

A Poe is an internet traditions which states that, without a smiley or similar cue, it is functionally impossible to tell a genuine, raving, Christo-fascist, homophobic mysoginist from an adequate parodist.

That would make Beck "Poe-litical" you might say.

Beck must be really getting under your skins for the long knives to come out with this kind of viciousness and intensity.
