With a deadpan, Beck insists that he is not political: “I could give a flying crap about the political process.” Making money, on the other hand, is to be taken very seriously, and controversy is its own coinage. “We’re an entertainment company,” Beck says.

I love it when the talking heads are honest. I’ve always known Beck didn’t give a damn about politics or the political process. I just wish all his many followers would clue into that fact. He isn’t at all about politics. He’s all about the money, and he will say or do whatever is necessary to continue to make tens of millions of dollars a year off the drivel that comes out of his mouth.
