Wonkette
We must’ve forgotten to Netflix our most favorite radio program, the Glenn Beck GoodTime Hour on Fox News, because somehow we missed when the baby-headed dildo-nut just went bonkers, and then 1,000 people sent this news to your Wonkette. WE WILL NOT STAND FOR WINGNUT AM-RADIO CLOWNS BEHAVING IN A CRAZY FASHION. Here is the video from Media Matters. [Jason Linkins]
This is the first time that I have been Beck-rolled.
I am not familar with all your internets traditions, but should there not be a rick-roll somewhere in there?
Well, Real Amuricuns like Jeebus, guns and satanic heavy metal so Beck kind of does makes sense
Oh, the high-pitched dude wasn’t Glenn Beck — it was some friend of his wife’s who he brought on to yell for him since his delicate physiology can’t take it. Also, my left hand smells like flowers up to the elbow. And drI’m unk. Been a good day.
Went?
Lucky for you I’m too drunk to eloquently express my frustration with the video of white-boy rock.
That Beyonce, now she knows how to put on a show. Bootylicious indeed.
Quick, someone call and tell him that his hero Thomas Paine was a radical who believed in the progressive tax and a guaranteed income. Maybe his head will actually explode, and then we’ll be done with him.
Thank you for almost ruining WEEN for me with that horrible video.
WindbagCity: We are entering a new era. Society must move beyond the Rick-Roll. The New, Better and Fancier activity is mandated to be the “Beck-Roll.”
The bastardization of this song begins tomorrow (or maybe tonight). As a Nation, we must all bring our tea bags, pitchforks and Prayer. These are the objects we must use against the very annoying microphone effect that Beck keeps putting in his fucking albums. It was cool with “Odelay,” and he didn’t use it in “Mutations,” which means when he brought it back in full force this time, he deserves now to be ridiculed, like a _____tard. Therefore, we must all denounce Beck right now and hope that his Scientologist overlords will allow him to change his terrible behavior towards music.
The end.
The man has the emotional maturity of a 4 year old. And a radio show. And a television show. And millions of dollars.
I’ve obviously been doing this life thing completely wrong all along.
I’ve never heard a man get so pissy about health care. Conclusion: No one, NO ONE! stands between batshit beckers and his prostate exams.
I’d think someone who knows he’s bipolar is taking some psychotropics. Well, he’s either taking too much or not enough.
Whatever he’s taking killed Michael Jackson.
I’m sorry, but does this mean that Michael Jackson isn’t dead? Or that Beck is?
So his big beef is that all the leaders of other countries come here for treatment of illnesses? (!) and it’s–lemme guess..unamurrican?
Dudes, you pinheads totally don’t get it. Wingjobs listening to this are totally, like, “WHOA. I am not nearly as intense and furious as Glenn Beck in my love of country, ALSO and my commitment to progressing Alaska.” They will redouble their efforts to make sure people keep dying for lack of health care, inspired by Glenn Beck’s example.
Glenn Beck is like some kind of jihadi Republican warrior. That was his version of an AM-radio suicide bombing.
Also, you have to feel for poor Glenn Beck. He’s dealing with a lot of heavy shit: muslins throwing out pitches at the All Star Game, baby-eating Messicans getting on the Supreme Court, black women patting the Queen’s butt, etc. Glenn Beck’s whole world is falling down all around him.
That video was craptacular.
Interesting, but this exchange between Billo Rilly and his ‘Inside Edition’ producer is more enlightening…
Was there an argument against universal health care in all that howling? Or an argument as to why the system in Europe doesn’t work?
BTW, Glenn, the reason her account of how you get treatment in France is almost “word-for-word from Michael Moore’s ‘Sicko’” is because it’s a fact. You walk in, you sign your name, you get treatment. Period.
Damn. Video not available in your country due to copyright restrictions. I’m guessing, from these comments, that it was a hum-dinger.
Trying to argue with that guy is like mud wresting with a pig: everyone gets dirty, and the pig loves it!
Why is someone hitting Reilly Whiggamore with a bamboo cane?
shortsshortsshorts: I’ll fill in the blank for you douchetard.
It just makes no sense. I don’t understand anything anymore. Is it just that people feel a bit angry and nutty and aren’t sure why and this guy gives them a focus for it? Is he doing a bit that people on both sides are taking seriously (sort of a double-reverse Colbert)? Make it make sense for me, wonkette.
Hell yeah, lady! You never listened to the show! Glenn Beck didn’t want those trillions to be spent on bailouts! He wanted the whole damn economy to collapse! Unemployment to 40%! Bought out lock, stock and barrel by the Chinese! Because that’s HIS money, goddammit, and that’s just how Glenn Beck fuckin’ rolls.
gurukalehuru: I almost want to move to your country just for having seen it.
He never was the same after he quit the Tardbirds.
Glenn Beck has a good vocal range. I hear Journey is looking for a new front man.
Was that Tiny Tim? good comeback song!
Best. Song. Ever.
BobLoblawLawBlog: And, a French doctor will come to your French house at 2 am to give you a French shot of French antibiotics in your French ass if you need it. At least that’s what the movie said.
Beck sounds like a cat in heat. This is horrifying on many levels.
Sounds as though someone was trying the CIA fire ant torture regime on Assflake Glenn Beck.
I approve.
WTF?
I love the commenter supporting Beck who spells “too” as “to”, more than once. Moran in, Moran out.
widget09: That works.
Heard him on the radio going to work this morning. Aside from a royal case of hoarseness, he was going on about what a fascist FDR was. Then comparing him to the Chinese, with “They’ll regulate how many people can be in your family. They’ll take your child away from you and kill them!”
So — Glenn Beck, through sheer idiocy, can malign a government that’s bad enough if you just report the facts. But that’s not good enough for him — he has to go and make shit up.
Wait, is Beck scientologist, mormon or both? If he is indeed Mormontologist then this video suddenly makes a whole lot more sense. Also, If You Could Hie Thee to Xenu is a beautiful hymn regardless of which magical nonsense you believe.
When he said “leaders come from every other country,” I thought he was gonna fly off on a birf certificate rant, so I was a little disappointed that it was just run-of-the mill wingnut incoherence and painfully illogical talking points, slathered with condescension, bigotry and casual indifference to the wellbeing of the poor. It was a pretty typical Republican layer cake of suck actually, just with an extra-screechy cheery on top.
His crazy straight up blew my hair back. I fully believe that at the end of that little tyrade he had expelled all four bodily humours and a few soft turds into his Pull-Ups™
Who does that?!
hobospacejunkie: Judging by his reasoning and his rhetoric…
…I’d guess he’s actually a follower of a certain Englishman who is convinced (against all evidence) that he is actually a Tibetan lama: “Ngakpa Chogyam.”

Beck ripping Crust….well, not really but another good song for this morning.
But seriously, though, when will MediaMatters talk about how FoxNews is profiting from G.Beck’s bipolar disorder and mental illness? FoxNews is like a sideshow of propaganda.
BobLoblawLawBlog: Beck won the argument by saying exactly what the caller did only louder and shriller. There is no defeating that rhetorical device.
Glen Beck is awe inspiring to all intellectuals that feel they are his inferior.
ForTheTurnstiles: “Llama” or “lama”? Just asking, ’cause often I’m convinced I’m an emu…
Gallowglass: Believe it or not, even bat-shit crazy Glenn Beck thinks the birth certificate stuff is a bridge too far. Think about that. The guy who spends his days alternately sobbing and screeching like a howler-monkey at callers think the birthers are nuts.
DAMN HIPPIE KIDS AND YOUR HIPPITY-HOP RAP MUSIC!!!!
hobospacejunkie: Glen Beck is not a morman, his is a moran (moron).
I was actually giddy with excitement before listening to this and it did not disappoint. Not to say that caller acquitted herself all that well, but holy Mary mother of Jeebus was it fun listening to Glenn Beck scream like a two-year-old.
But you can’t expect to have a serious conversation with that guy. It’s like trying to discuss nuclear disarmament with a circus clown who responds by shooting seltzer in your face.
The “You’ll only get this if yer really from DC” test: Beck owes 9353 royalties.
imissopus:
Come on, now. Selzer-wielding circus clowns make FAR more compelling and reasonable arguments than Glen Beck.
Glenn Beck not going nuts might be news.
ForTheTurnstiles: Linkwhore much?
May I please have the last 2:30 of my life back?
I guess I now I, for one, have been rolled upon by professionals.
He has never fully recovered from his recent ass surgery which evidently left him with some brain damage. I recall a post-op feverish rant in which he fantasized beating his grandfather’s corpse for admiring FDR. It’s been down-hill from there.
Single-payer is STILL off the table, Neocon Beck!
He appears to be very easy to work into a screaming fit. We should all call him one day.
pedro: He owes OVER 9000 royalties?
correct me if I am wrong but isnt he just another righty pundit that has tons of money and would never use a public health system?? His opinion/ assessment of our health system is relevant because?
Oh yeah, and let me add that he’s totally insane and irritating.
Whoah. That’s a whole lotta crazzzy. Glenn Beck is scary man.
Wonderful Grist, thanks for the links
Here’s what I did with it, be very afraid and it’ get’s a little weird so smoke ‘em if you got ‘em
