Haw, beat you by 2 minutes.
Can someone explain who Glen Beck is? I am guessing he is somone on TV? I’m being serious here, I don’t watch TV but have vaguely heard of this person here and there on the internet.
Other than parting crazy people from their money, Beck’s aims are usually not clear. But yeah, it does sort of look like an old fashioned Soviet uniform.
The colors seem to imply Russian uniforms, but the Soviet military favored those incredibly stupid looking hats

But nobody else thinks the hat doesn’t fit? OK, I’m cutting back on huffing kerosene, starting tomorrow…
Yes, a demonstration of el WHOOSH!
Thanks for playing, my little marionette. 
Aside from the hammer and sickle, and that the cord on Beck’s hat appears to be white instead of gold, that looks identical to Beck’s hat.
And no, it doesn’t fit. He looks like he’s trying for goofy, but goofy only works when goofy is your shtick.
TV and radio. Glenn Beck wiki:
If you can’t be bothered: former drive-time DJ who was a commentator on CNN for a while, then moved to FOX News last year. Also has a daily syndicated radio show. Solidly Limbaugh-style right wing, but attempts to go Rush one better by spinning elaborate and rather apocalyptic conspiracy theories. Within the past couple weeks, for example, headlined his show with the accusation that there was secret communist iconography all over Rockefeller Center in New York.
Consider what it says about you that I thought you might be making the argument seriously.
Heh… it’s because I was rolling around trying to shake off the laughter.
Actually, its sublime beauty deserves to be repeated:
Anyone good at detecting Photoshop fakes? Has anyone checked to see if Beck is actually Colbert in disguise?
Is this for real?
I mean, I know that Beck is a frothing, whistle britches corporate shill with his creaming their panties everytime he utters a syllable Faux-Beck followers, but geez, isn’t that get up a little extreme for even him?
Seriously.
“whistle britches”? The first definition, one who wears corduroy clothing, is fairly innocuous. Rapidly downhill from there…
Aaaaand that’s the thread folks. Safe drive home, everyone!

Glenn Beck: Satan’s Doorman
Congratulations. I believe you have just coined MizTina’s Law:
As any discussion of Glenn Beck grows longer, the probability of someone asking “Is this for real?” approaches 1.
I read once that those numbers are pretty meaningless when it comes to politically motivated books. What happens is (is this case conservative) organizations buy up a bunch of copies in bulk to use as promos (“Subscribe to Town Hall and get a free copy of…”) and to bolster the sales numbers. Then they claim “The #1 book according the New York Times!” or somesuch.
I doubt it’s a purely conservative thing either and that liberal organizations do the same.
The all-time classic example is Scientology books, wealthy suckers buying a buttload of books to prove their devotion.
Nice.
Firsthand evidence that the mentally retarded can live the American Dream.
Well, there’s an ice skating rink. Ice is cold. It’s cold in Russia.
QED.
