Glenn Beck's wife can handle his sexually harassing a reporter, but The View went too far?
From the audio, Beck says "My wife NEVER CALLS ABOUT ANYTHING THAT I EVER DO," but called after the View appearance and "screamed into the phone."

3. I had forgotten about that sexual harassment incident
Was he kicked off the air? suspended? Or rewarded?

9. He offered one of those special "Republican-style" apologies
There's a clip, also on YouTube, but I'm too lazy to look for it right now. In essence he said that people got upset over something that was not intentional on his part, that it was blown way out of proportion, etc etc etc, and buried in all of that was something that might possibly count as an "apology" if he hadn't taken so much time setting up his complete "innocence."

6. Oh, put on your Big Girl Panties, Glenn.
Jeez. When the pond gets a little bigger, this particular "big fish" shrivels right up, don't he?

10. Yeah, that's the one HuffPo ran with the story, but I have seen him recently...
...he looked especially puffy and miserable at the W.H. Correspondents Dinner.

11. OMG, that's the first time I've seen that. Not too good on the YouTube searches but
maybe you can also find the audio of him doing a schtick on his radio show where he was threatening to kill a puppy if listeners didn't buy his book and get him on the NYT bestseller list.

He came back the next day when it didn't happen and with a tape of a crying puppy mimicked what he had threatened.

The next day the outrage, even from his freakish listeners, was so bad, that he came on and apologized and, of course, CRIED! :cry:

I've never heard the tape, just read about it -- maybe you know where it's at?

AND, his wife was probably pissed watching the View because she has to live with this freak and can never call him out, tell him to shut up, get an apology out of him, etc. and was simply jealous of Whoopi and Barbara!!!

12. Eeeeegads...
I just watched that clip of Beck and that poor woman -- that was one of the truly creepier things I have ever witnessed. My whole body just went :puke: when he said that to her.

I need a shower now.

And not in the fun way. :( :cry:

13. It seems Glenn found
his courage, that he left in his office.
