So here's my question: Does Stewart nail the mannerisms in his apparent send-up? I've seen one clip of Glenn Beck and read about 15 pages of one of his books--just enough to get a sense of the rhetoric and know he's not for me. (Note I didn't say that it was enough to reach a fully formed opinion about the guy's merits and demerits.)

So is Stewart on with his parody?

Since when does spelling someone's name right mean that one is wrong in an assessment of that person's talent? (It means you spelled his name wrong; that's all.)

And Chapel, are you able to laugh at yourself? At people you find valuable? I am. If I saw a great parody of Jon Stewart, Barack Obama, Dennis Kucinich, Bill Richardson, or any number of people I admire, I would be able to laugh at it. Of course, remember, I don't watch Beck enough to know if Stewart's parody is a good one.

If you (general you, not just Chapel) can't laugh at yourself, I submit that you live a very sad life.
