We’ve now done it to the best. For some time now, going back in to roughly 2008 we’ve talked about the followers of Glen Beck the equivalent of Rush Limbaugh’s ditto heads and these are the Becker heads. It seemed so perfect a label, we’ve received favorable commentary on it, but last week it turns out that in keeping with our custom of plagiarizing in advance we did it to the best. We did it to the esteemed Steven Colbert. Yes, that’s right. On May 13, 2010 the Colbert Report in a lengthy discussion of Glen Beck, the host mentioned, we have decided to call them Becker Heads. You should have told us Steven, we wouldn’t have been doing this since 08, we would never not give you credit, you are the esteemed one; you are the oracle of obliviousness and you are what every play on words or words on play affectionato hopes to be. So, we apologize to you the best, The Colbert Report, for having plagiarized in advance your term “Becker Heads”, but listen to him and listen to his followers. Congrats again, we hope you will accept our apology.
