By Ed Brayton

If you watched Keith Olbermann last night you saw bits and pieces of this rant from Glenn Beck. It absolutely has to be seen in its entirety. It's like watching someone make the final descent into utter madness. It's so stark raving nuts that you feel embarrassed for him while watching it. It's so over the top that you begin to wonder if Beck is not really an even more clever version of Stephen Colbert, mocking the wingnut mentality so effectively that we can't even tell he's mocking it. Either that or this man is genuinely -- no sarcasm at all intended -- genuinely mentally ill. Not mildly neurotic or occasionally unbalanced, but completely out of his fucking mind.
