Fox News Becomes a Parody of Itself

I present to you exhibit A, a clip from the March 9, 2003 episode of the Simpsons, Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington, in which Krusty the Clown runs for Congress.

Now, exhibit B, a clip from Glenn Beck’s February 4, 2009 Fox News show.

Conclusion: It took nearly six years and the election of a black man to do it, but Fox News is now officially in the realm of self-satire.
