Looks like South Park is going after Glenn Beck

I don't really watch his show or follow him in any way so I'm not sure if its funny or way off base as relates to reality so I'm going to try and just enjoy what there is to enjoy from a position of total ignorance.

You can set me and South Park straight in the comments if you feel the need.

Update:  Apparently, it was about Sarah Palin?  Or Olbermann?  Or all of them?  Plus a jab at Avatar?

Looks like it was one of those South Parks without any single coherent point.

1 I didn't find it to be terribly anti-Palin in the allusion made.  It almost seemed to take what appeared to be making fun of Glen Beck and turn it into something that somewhat mocked Obama.  Wendy gave the class presidency to Cartman, then Cartman discovered that he couldn't actually do anything but argue about color schemes.

2 Important points SP missed:
1- Beck isn't news (er, "announcements").  He's commentary.  Like Olby and MadCow.  Remember, they're putting MadCow on Meet the Press as a semi-regular.  Could Beck be on the FNS panel?  Probably not.

2- Beck, for all his histrionics and crying, is essentially right about the czars, ACORN, and the Maoists.

3 To me it was more funny than incoherent but until Cartman's interview with Wendy I wasn't sure if they were just ripping on Beck in particular or pundits and newscritters in general.  Afterwards, I was sure it was the latter and I'm pretty sure that the whole point of reframing Cartman as Gibson and Wendy as Palin was to apply the "demagoguery is easy and actual governing is hard" point that they were making to both sides.
