If Jed Brandt is Spartacus, that would make Glenn Beck Marcus Licinius Crassus.

The historian Dio Cassius, writing in the late 2nd or early 3rd century AD, reports a story that after Crassus’ death the Parthians poured molten gold into his mouth as punishment for his greed (Cassius Dio 40.27).

All of the Sparticus-es.
