Jon Stewart Parodies Glenn Beck

Jon Stewart turns Glenn Beck's appendectomy into an opportunity to parody his show. Actually, Beck might see the humor in this much like celebs who are frequently flattered when SNL chooses to parody them. We all know this can be harmful as witnessed by the Tina Fey's constant rips on Sarah Palin. As Stewart has credited Beck, Fox News and Giles and O'Keefe for following up on the ACORN story, some of this is likely tongue in cheek. As you watch the clip it becomes increasingly obvious Stewart is actually doing a parody on Beck's show though I don't think it is all that obvious in the very beginning.

It is easy to let this incident slip by with a cackle and a wink. However, this is war and Jon Stewart should be quacking in his boots in fear of the consequences.
