In an interview with Forbes for a story about how his company made $32 million last year, Glenn Beck finally admits what you probably already knew.

Surprise! He’s an entertainer, not a thinker or a political activist. Which is why he calls his own fans idiots. Anyway, here’s the relevant quote — in an article mostly devoted to how he makes big bank, he lets this fly:

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.

There you have it, straight from the rodeo clown’s mouth.
