      Oooh Goody! Something else makes you paranoid! Well, let's slip that writer an extra $1000 or so! Maybe if they tease you some more, your feelings will be hurt and you'll take your stupid chalk and your dumb blackboard and go home and sulk! I'm waiting for the day, Glennie, just waiting. I wonder, will Keith cry when he can't have Glenn to kick around any more?

      Is he joking? Or is this just another case of a right wing hate monger who can dish it out but can't take it?

        And mind you it was a week of everyone else making fun of his PRE-show spelling mistakes before SNL got into the action.

        Give credit where credit is due, Becky.

      Repugs follow this clown and celebrate his ignorance. I come across morons like this every day who spew something silly and expect everyone to nod their heads in agreement.

      Leave it to you to focus on the inconsequential, Bekkky. It's not your spelling you should be paranoid about, it's your hysteria, lack of logic, and complete lack of integrity. Not to mention consistency, unless you count consistently wrong.

        Becky probably figures he has as much right to be wrong about his spelling as he's wrong about everything else . . .

      No, I disagree Dawuss... This is him playing to his aknowledged new found audience in the greater media. He is playing to his fans as much to those who may give him ratings by proxy. I think he wants to be parodied again. And, He already emphasizes that the media is liberal and against him. If he gets another parody, he'll cry out, 'Saul Alinsky!' ...and instantly prove himself correct. He is setting himself up for a future strawman argument to allow him to be a victim....
      And he wants to be more than a supporting player in the national scene. The exposure he gets in SNL sketches, legitimizes him, or at least makes his antics seem mundane... I don't want him to go from the creep next door to that cooky uncle. I think he needs to be recognized simply by his work, and the majority of people that don't even give him a moment of credence.

      Maybe Beck should take a spelling class, it might help overcome the paranoia thing.

      Becky's worried about SNL catching a mistake his audience missed. Kind of says it all about Becky's loyal viewers.

      Beck was paranoid long before SNL paid attention to him...

        Got to admit, from SNL to Stewart's blackboard, the parodies are hillarious.
