Has Glenn Beck been institutionalized?





Last week they were saying Beck would be back Wednesday of this week after recuperating from his alleged appendicitis attack.
Today, however, his guest hatemonger is only saying "Glenn will be back soon", nothing definite.
So either his alleged appendicitis developed complications, or it is taking longer than expected for him to dry out, or possibly,
he is being kept heavily sedated until he can manifest signs of having a better grasp on reality. :shrug:

3. I find it odd that the poor man disappeared on the some day as the Fort Hood attack!
Where is he anyway?

4. Knowing Beck
He is probably trying to make up some kind of story to gain sympathy from his pathetic listeners, and somehow take a cheap shot at the president!

24. No doubt in my mind he'll come up with a good one.



And his sheepies will swollow it hook, line and sinker.
The story will be so good they will glorify him even more.

6. The phrases "Glenn Beck" and "grasp on reality" cannot go together
in the same thread.

9. The headlines in the Daily Sun (the repuke rag) in
The Villages (Florida) said "Glenn Beck coming to The Villages." He is suppose to be coming for a book signing at the local Barnes and Nobles. Can't believe that this is news and had to be screamed across the headlines. Since I didn't bother to read the article, I have no idea when this "big event" is suppose to happen. Oh, BTW, Sarah Palin will also be coming to sell her book. ARRRRGGGGG!!!!

23. Every village needs its idiot.
Beck will simply be fulfilling a need, being the most likely candidate for the job.

13. Beck has been diagnosed as a Republicon.
And, of course, he is a chickenhawk (even though that is, in so many cases, the same thing).

So there you have it. Beck is suffering from the the universal Republicon syndrome: he's a Latter Day Pharisee.

22. All those Freeper prayers
got God's attention. He took a look at Beck and said, "WTF?" Then he smote him sharply a couple of times. Recovery will be slow.

26. There must be a shortage of the finest bullshit for his bullshit refill.
Either that or they can't get a high enough molarity of hydrofluoric acid for his acid tear sessions.


I don't know. What do I know?

27. Maybe his insurance rescinded him.
Having an appendix is, after all, a pre-existing condition.

28. 2nd Guess:
He asked for more money, and they wrote him out of the script. How hard can it be to get some dingaling to show up at the studio and foam at the mouth for an hour?

38. I honestly think they have been expecting him to go off the deep end for some time.



He did his morning radio hatefest alone for a long time. But within the past few months there have been two and some times three other people in there with him. I have to wonder if that would have been made necessary for them to 1) get him under control and 2) take over the show after he was escorted out of the studio in the event of Beck's total emotional collapse. Not a pretty thought but I honestly believe he is on a razor's edge, emotionally speaking.

No-one at Fox knows how to break that news, so they come up with one paltry lie after another.
