When Joe Scarborough wondered out loud "how many times can you set your hair on fire?" before viewers stop being shocked, you might have thought he was talking about Keith Olbermann, the man whose scenery-chewing soliloquies inspired an instant-classic Saturday Night Live skit.
But no, Joe was speaking of Glenn Beck. Perhaps the shot Scarborough took at Ed Schultz a couple weeks ago exhausted his monthly quota of internecine MSNBC insults.
On today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski and Joe took turns ripping Beck's promotion of the rally at the Lincoln Memorial he's staging Saturday on the anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. Riffing off a Colbert Show segment showing clips of Beck, Mika claimed he sounded like a drama student "on crack." Scarborough, suggesting Mika might have gone too far, surmised Beck might merely have taken "stupid pills."

I had to watch Morning Joe this week because my friends from the America’s 9/11 foundation were on. I was a hard thing even to watch them.
Beck is ambivalent on gay marriage, not the same as supporting, but sadly tolerance of this behavior never leads to anything good.
Projection...
when you don’t have many viewers you will say anything to make news...
Beck is doing what he believes in. What are those two losers doing but making fun of others while sitting on their butts in their perceived ivory tower of elitism.
I know that, I! That was directed at Frankly,not you (I mean...I) LOLOL
If you don’t think Beck is a master at self promotion you just haven’t been paying attention.
Are you talking about the event at Lincoln Center? If it’s for Mormon recruiting, explain why other religious leaders of various faiths will be involved?
As far as his support of gay marriage, watch the video from HIS website - his initial response to O’Reilly was “there are bigger fish to fry”. I am frankly more concerned about the absolute trashing of our Constitution and the government takeover of everything than I am at gay marriage right now. That doesn’t mean I support it.
I never said Beck was conservative - you seem to be quite adept at putting words in people’s mouths and posts. My bubble was burst the day Obama was elected and it certainly doesn’t revolve around obsessive worry about Mormon conversion.
AS Rush would say, they guys are nothing but symbolism over substance. Liberals simply run on emotion, not facts.
