Glenn Beck on hiatus after anti-psychotic drug binge in Vegas

"It's with a heavy heart that we must temporarily pull Glenn Beck from our schedule," said Fox News head of programming Matthew Nosal in an official statement. "We fully support Glenn, and when he gets those much-needed prescriptions out of his system, we'll be happy to have him back on the air, talking nonsense."
Beck, 46, was rushed to Desert Springs Hospital early Friday morning, after the man accused of supplying Beck with the dangerous medications, psychiatrist Dr. Lance Glavin, placed a call to 911. When paramedics arrived at the buffet at the Circus Circus Hotel & Casino, they found Beck sprawled across the dessert table, speaking rationally about deficit spending, and coherent on the topic of Muslims in America.
"When Beck was at the buffet, he was lucid, but he was making sound, reasonable arguments about foreign policy, politics, everything he talks about on TV, except he was making perfect sense," claimed one witness. "So something was definitely wrong."
After receiving emergency treatment, Beck was remanded to the Pasadena Recovery Center for drug rehabilitation. In a written statement, delivered on Beck's radio program by his producer, Beck expressed remorse for his actions and apologized to his fans and staff. "I am an imperfect vessel, but I promise I'll do what's necessary to reclaim the fevered paranoia that this country needs."
Beck's listeners did their part to ensure his speedy recovery, by flooding Beck's room at the Pasadena Recovery Center with blackboard chalk and pictures of President Obama as Hitler. Beck's doctors say he is "very grateful."

The man has fallen ill and this is what where doing about it, making jokes. If he is not ill this is insanly funny, but if he is ill, this is a little bit in poor taste, but since Beck has no taste, I guess it still stick! lol

ROFL!!!! That's awesome... ahhh.. brings a tear to my eye.
Perhaps it was Jon Stewart's challenge to come on his show that put Beck over the edge?

Beck was over the edge waaaaay before that, he was even playing with puppets.

It was probably Jon's flawless imitation of how over the edge Glenn was that prevents him from going on Stewart's show.

they both make good points, and both have some truths, Glenn Beck just looses his mind in them, many many people went insane in the 1980's when only a select few had figured out some of the secrets. I love this skit though!

A supposedly comedic article and all the mokes are taking it as serious. No wonder none of you can bring forth a cognizant argument for your causes.

That's the whole problem is you can't take ANYTHING about Beck seriously since he's such a joke even when he's supposedly being serious.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7KPmBNe9qY
So no cognitive argument is possible because he's such a self-parody that there is no difference between a supposedly comedic article and what he does on his show

"This way, the media can play out a good guy/bad guy battle that's entertaining, distracting, and gets everyone talking. They can sell airtime and help the corporations who own these media outlets keep people from thinking about and acting on our real problems." is a good point and is the triumph of Team Evil to keep Team Stupid in line so they can assure the continuing revenue stream to keep flowing.

Is it any less likely or less plausible than what he actually HAS been saying on his show?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/04/glenn-beck-egypt-caliphate-conspiracy-t...
"He has warned that the world is "being divvied up" by what was formerly "Ancient Babylon" could emerge as the new seat of "evil" and center of the new caliphate."
It's very hard to tell the difference which is hilarious in itself.

"It's with a heavy heart that we must temporarily pull Glenn Beck from our schedule," said Fox News.
And it's with a light heart that I laugh my balls off at Beck's predicament.
Considering it to a drug binge of anti-psychotics to find a rational and coherent Beck, we can only hope this happens again.
Plus, I will never care if he misses airtime. - 1 year ago

It goes back to what I've long said about the great majority of alcoholics. After I quit drinking and attended AA meetings I realized how lucky I was, I just liked getting really fucked up. Most of recovering alcoholics have deep seated mental issues. Like Jane Velez Mitchell on CNN who thinks she has every answer. The secret answer is no one has all the answers. If 12 steps works for you great, but its a bunch of bullshit, you either want to stay off booze and drugs or you don't. After drying out, its all in your hands, not gods, not anyone else, only you can control you,

Well he has been slipping in the ratings. "Beck used to be assured the #3 slot. But in November, he was pushed to fourth, and in January, he fell further to #5"
So they would have a good excuse, if it did happen that way.
