Beck is hilarious

Last week, White House Communications Director Anita Dunn said Fox was not a legitimate news organization and was spreading lies.

In response, Glenn Beck installed a phone in his studio, sent the phone number by certified mail to Anita Dunn, and invited her to call at anytime to correct any errors. He has a staff member sitting next to the phone during every show waiting for the phone to ring.

Last week, Beck was provided with video showing how Anita Dunn had called Mao one of her favorite political philosophers.

On yesterday's show, Beck’s staff member manning the phone is dressed in a Mao suit and hat.

I don't care what you think of him, it's just great TV.

[Update]

And then there was this audio from Obama Manufacturing “Czar” Ron Bloom featured on Beck's show from earlier today:

Generally speaking we get the joke. We know that the free market is nonsense. We know that the whole point is to game the system, to beat the market, or at least find someone who will pay you a lot of money because they're convinced that there is a free lunch. We know this is largely about power, that it's an adults only, no limit game. We kind of agree with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun. And we get it that if you want a friend, you should get a dog.

Okay, I need to research the context of this quote, because a lot of free market types might say something like “the idea that we have a free market is nonsense”, but I’m pretty sure that a free market proponent would not say that the free market is nonsense. And what is with the Mao quotes? Can we get a quote from Jefferson, Washington, or Lincoln?
