[DearAbby]

Glenn Beck unexpectedly left his national radio show early today, saying he was not feeling well. He suffered an appendicitis attack and is having his appendix removed today.

1. cosmic karma

n/t

[SpiralHawk]

28. All Beckey Boy has is a bell full 'o bile

and it backed up and took him out.

May he get the therapy he so desperately needs.

[AlienGirl]

130. Random chance. Health still doesn't work on a reward/punishment system.

[derby378]

2. Dang...

Here's to a full recovery, but let's hope he doesn't rush back up to the microphone.

[leftynyc]

136. Had mine out almost 30

years ago on a Thursday - was back in class Monday.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Well well, hope he makes a full recovery

I know how liberal of me.

[Warpy]

12. Yeah, having a hot appendix sucks

The only good thing about it is we only have one of the damned things per lifetime.

[JuniperLea]

90. IF that's what really happened...

I think the voices finally got to him.

[alfredo]

143. My dad's ruptured on the operating table.

[old mark]

39. Ok, but I hope he fucking dies. nt

[Jazzgirl]

69. I spewed my drink all over my monitor!

My sentiments exactly!!!!! I couldn't care less what happens to him.

[old mark]

133. I'm sorry for your monitor incident.

But I'm glad you got a laugh out of someone elses pain.

I certainly did.

mark

[Ahpook]

72. :)

Only thing, there is many more waiting in line to shill.

[otohara]

99. Pain, Infection, Life Support

first...

[Lorien]

124. and the run around from his insurance company nt.

[formercia]

141. I hope they deny him coverage.

and make him go on Workmens' Comp.

That will be an eye opener.

Nah, he's rich.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

4. He'd better be careful they don't remove his brain by mistake

when doctors are fooling around down there in his lower tract.

[AndyA]

11. No need to worry about that. Beck's brain is safely ensconced

within his anus. No danger of it being touched.

[Richardo]

5. "Don't anything but good about the painfully ill."

You know the punch line.

[seabeyond]

6. after they save his sorry life, will he then cry... literally cry, about the care he is NOT

given.

[Ahpook]

74. You fucking know it will be some crap

And his idiot base will lap it up

[RamboLiberal]

140. Yep that last time his whining and crying about his surgery that

went horribly awry" was a classic! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX1rLv_hNeI

[harun]

7. I think a higher power is trying to tell him something

But that's just me.

[DearAbby]

8. Thankfully he had full healthcare coverage...eh?

Hope for a full recovery...take your time Glenn, make sure you fully recover.

[OswegoAtheist]

43. Let's take a collection

and pay off some paper pusher at his insurance company to "accidentally" mistakenly find a pre-existing condition and drop him. Let's see what he says when he's presented with a 50K hospital bill live on air.

Oswego "what a bunch of BCBS" Atheist

[Pab Sungenis]

118. 50K?

When were you last in the hospital?

My last visit was 250K.

[Raineyb]

144. A collection? I'll contribute a bill for 50K for the pain and suffering I had to

deal with seeing his clips.

[Gold Metal Flake]

9. He seems in poor health.

This career choice is not working out well for him.

[marmar]

44. Mental and physical.

[jimshoes]

10. Wasn't fatal was it?

That would have been awful.

[BrklynLiberal]

54. Well...there might be complications...one never knows.

[tosh]

77. Yep, just awful.

[NYC_SKP]

13. Ya know, sometimes "things happen" during surgery.

I'd miss the little asshole, though.

I know that sounds crazy, but he's entertaining.

Too bad he actually influences how people feel and vote and behave toward others.

[monmouth]

14. They say appendicitis...Hahaha, maybe his liver...Very painful..n/t

[BlueGirlRedState]

15. Don't wish that on anyone

even Glenn Beck. My 12 year old had an emergency appendectomy.

Get better, Glenn, then we're back at it.

[Arkana]

That's too bad.

I guess that's what happens when you have that much hatred and bile stored inside you.

[dflprincess]

16. I hope he forgot to check if the hospital he went to is "in network".

And I hope it isn't. Even if he can afford, the amount he'll be charged might cause a shock wave to run through even his little brain.

[Catshrink]

67. That actually happened to him once already

he had taken his daughter to the ER when they were visiting Florida, I think. They had to pay out of network and he was bitching about it.

I tried to find a story but was unable to... it was discussed here on DU a while back.

[krispos42]

129. And that the private ambulance company gouges the shit out of him...

...while undertrained, overworked, non-union EMTs fumble around with oxygen tanks and such.


Too bad this couldn't happen to him while he was visiting Toronto... I'd love to here him explain why he didn't have to wait 3 months to get operated on!

[SoCalNative]

17. Maybe they can pull his head out of his ass

while they're in there

[peace13]

18. I'll believe that when I see the incision with my own eyes! n/t

[JuniperLea]

92. Me too...

I think it was a mental breakdown of some sort... He's been gearing up for it a long while now.

[HughMoran]

19. Did he die from sepsis?

[Ilsa]

108. Only if the infection seeped out of his brain. nt

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. I'd have thought it wold be his gallbladder, considering the infinity of bile.

[Cirque du So-What]

126. If they removed his gall

there'd be nothing left but lips & tear ducts.

[tanyev]

21. Can appendicitis be brought on by an apoplectic fit?

[ThomWV]

22. alternatively it may have been that his asshole exploded from overexposure.

[TK421]

23. This guy was just dying to get the fuck outta there

[mitchum]

24. May he soon be at peace

Very soon

[endless october]

25. that sucks. hope he recovers.

i don't agree with the guy, but being sick / having surgery sucks.

[susanr516]

26. I hope he gets well soon, and then

I hope his insurance carrier denies his claim because he failed to call to pre-approve the hospitalization.

[EOTE]

134. You're a better person than I am.

Frankly, Beck can afford to pay for his coverage without the help of insurance, I don't think that would teach him much of a lesson.

I, on the other hand, wish that he gets better, then contracts a fatal case of explosive diarrhea and spends his remaining days on the toilet where he belongs. For Glenn Beck, this is all I have to say:

[Ozymanithrax]

27. God Punished Beck with a burst appendix. Will he take the hint...

and become a liberal.

Clearly, Beck is not Paul, and his set is not the road to Damascus.

[PSzymeczek]

86. Leaving a deity out of it,

Restitution IS a maternal fornicator.

[ddeclue]

29. IRONY. METER, BROKEN! A useless appendage having a useless appendage removed.

[Qutzupalotl]

59. Good one!

[tosh]

75. ...

[varelse]

103. DUzy nomination

[lumberjack_jeff]

120. Exactly. Is he getting his appendix removed or is his appendix getting it's dick removed. n/t

[TK421]

30. He predicted rampant socialism in this country, but totally missed this?

WTF? Come on, Glenn...get on the fucking ball here!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

31. Well I'm glad the man has health care for his own sake.

Hey, we can always hope the man has some Scrooge-like revelation from this experience. Although I wouldn't put my hopes too high.

[Arugula Latte]

32. Bloated bag of pus ... How fitting.

[liberaltrucker]

33. If I post what I REALLY think

It'd be removed by the mods.

Get well not-so-soon, Glenn.

[ddeclue]

34. Too much vaseline in your eyeballs causes appendicitis!

[liberaltrucker]

37. Er, my thoughts exactly!

Yea, that's the ticket!

[RagAss]

35. I don't wish that on anyone.

[Toasterlad]

42. I Do.

I hope he gets kidney stones of the appendicitis of the infected hemmoroids of the testicle cancer.

[Horse with no Name]

48. +1

My karma is horrible today. I might as well top it off with a drink to celebrate his pain and suffering!

[tosh]

79. ...

[EOTE]

135. Thank you.

I'm rather tired of the attitude that we can't revel in the misfortune of miserable little fucks like Beck. Frankly, he deserves far, far worse than he'll ever receive (unless there's an afterlife, people like Beck make me really want to believe in hell).

[TicketyBoo]

71. I would've

if I'd thought of it.

My mother died from complications of appendicitis. We can only hope…

[underseasurveyor]

132. Once I had a REAL bad case of food poisoning

I mean bad... for 3 days nothing stayed in at either end and for 3 days I stayed in the bathroom lying on the floor continuously dry heaving uncontrollably and it was torturous. Finally at the beginning of the forth day I began to come out of it and it still took the better of two weeks before I felt almost normal again.

For many years after that, decades even, I use to say that I wouldn't wish that misery on my worst enemies. However since then I have revised my sentiments about that and ever since the 2000 elections took place I began to collect and add to the list the people I would wish that on.

Beck would most certainly be one of them.

'GLENN BECK SUFFERS food poisoning'

That's for Horse With No Name

[FiveGoodMen]

36. Too bad it's not his tongue being removed

More than happy to wish ill upon that motherfucker!

[Angry Dragon]

38. It was just the devil trying to eat his way out instead of his mouth

[bridgit]

40. Well now there *is* something for Beck to cry about

[tsuki]

41. Oh, goody. Maybe we'll get another video from the hospital on

how BAD American health care is, and how they are trying to kill him.

[Darth_Kitten]

45. Are we sure it's not a case of gas, and Fox is sitting on the story?

[brettdale]

46. I bet he uses this

To bag Obama's health care plann.

[Horse with no Name]

47. I hope it ruptured. n/t

[chollybocker]

49. What do Glenn Beck and an appendix have in common?

Both useless organs.

[ShortnFiery]

148. ...

[Sebastian Doyle]

50. I wonder if he'll remember how much America's "health care" system sucks now

Like he did when he was working for CNN and had ass surgery a couple years ago....

http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-august-13-2009/gl...

[TK421]

51. I thought someone removed his brain n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

52. I thought he was just going to lay down on the floor and hold his breath until

the repuke was declared the winner in NY23. Guess he opted for the hira-kiri.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

[spanone]

53. which democrat will he blame for it?

[ehrnst]

55. Let's see if he feels as hateful towards our Health Care System

as he did when he got hemmie surgery.

[BrklynLiberal]

56. I wonder if they will find his head in there when they check out the large intestine looking for the

appendix.

[Froward69]

57. Too bad he

wont be hit with a $25,000 medical bill.

As THAT would change his tune. (maybe)

[Last Stand]

58. Hopefully they go in through the rectum

...with a crow bar.

[Horse with no Name]

62. I've got a scalpel that I gutted some dead fish with last year that I am

willing to donate to the cause. It's even set out in the rain. Got a nice rusty patina.

[JuniperLea]

93. I was thinking penis...

But, whatever.

[bergie321]

60. OMG

I can harm people with my mind!

[JuniperLea]

94. You must promise to use your power only for good!

And welcome to DU!

[bergie321]

61. DUPE POST

DELETED

[tekisui]

63. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.

[madamesilverspurs]

64. That happened to KO not long ago.

And even though KO told Glenn (last night) to 'go to hell', I'll bet KO will be gracious and offer sincere wishes for Beck's full recovery. But then, Keith is a grownup and has some class; Beck is in no danger of being accused of either.

[Horse with no Name]

65. Is it too late to edit your post?

Can you put "Glenn Beck suffered" all in caps.
It makes me smile to read that.

[tosh]

82. +1.

[begin_within]

66. All that bile, I'm not surprised.

[krawhitham]

68. Karma's a bitch

[DainBramaged]

70. If I said I had NO SYMPATHY for him, would anyone here hold it against me?

And if I said I hoped it hurt so bad he cried like a baby, would anyone here old it against me?

And if I wondered aloud that if The Good Lord decided that it was time to bring 'ole Glenn home, would anyone hold it against me?

[SIMPLYB1980]

73. Karma.

[spanone]

76. goodness gracious, i hope he doesn't have to endure any agonizing pain

[AsahinaKimi]

78. what I am thinking...

Probably can't be typed here.. meh.

[Nikki Stone1]

80. That's because NBC put a secret oligarhy chip shaped like Rockefeller center in his appendix

It had to go eventually.

[Junkdrawer]

81. Life imitating art...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

[tosh]

83. Thanks, Junkdrawer - I missed that yesterday.

[eppur_se_muova]

128. I was hoping someone would post that -- eerie coicidence, eh what? nt

[malaise]

84. I don't believe that

More like palinitis. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
The two stupid fucks were exposed as freaking morans last night.
Stay sick all week Glen you raving lunatic.

[SoCalDem]

85. To bad he won't have to sit in an ER at a crowded county hospital

and then dodge bill collectors for years

[Canuckistanian]

87. They should keep the appendix and throw away the rest

Maybe the appendix could take over his shows.

[JuniperLea]

97. I'm sure the appendix has a more pleasing personality...

Probably a higher IQ too.

[JuniperLea]

88. Ahhh... so that's what they're calling mental breakdowns now, eh?

Most celebrities just say it's exhaustion.

I wonder if he began talking back to the voices... shame on Faux Gnus for taking advantage of the mentally ill.

[quaker bill]

109. If they stopped doing that

it would just be hours upon hours of the test pattern.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

89. Could it be?

That he heard that Washington State's same sex domestic partnership referendum was passing? And his boyhood home Skagit County is supporting it 50.52% to 49.49%

http://vote.wa.gov/Elections/WEI/ResultsByCounty.aspx?E...

[lpbk2713]

91. It's just that he's so full of shit.

His body couldn't take the load any more.

[JTG of the PRB]

95. Damn it, I can't believe I'm saying this...

...but I hope he has an easy recovery... Or at least that he recovers almost entirely.

If something were to happen and he couldn't use his voice anymore, that would be okay.

[santamargarita]

96. I hope they removed it through his asshole

[ThePantaloon.com]

98. APPENDIX attack

is code for binge drinking?

[Swamp Rat]

100. Get better Glenn.... we need you!

[stevedeshazer]

104. Indeed, Swampy.

Every Glenn Beck meltdown is golden for our side!

[unkachuck]

117. Yawohl, Herr Kamerad!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

101. How is he going to blame Obama for this?

Somehow, I think he'll try to find a way, in his alternate universe where any crazy thing is possible.

[quaker bill]

106. +1

[Hippo_Tron]

102. I'm sorry to hear that Glenn Beck had appendicitis, but fortunately he had health insurance

It's too bad that he is so adamant about making sure that millions of people in this country aren't so fortunate.

[piratefish08]

105. "Im sorry Mr Beck, we can't cover you. It seems you have a preexisting condition of

being a FUCKING ASSHOLE."

Hope it hurts.

[Ilsa]

110. +1. nt

[gwsuperfan]

122. No, It was caused by a different preexisting condition...

The pent-up feelings of guilt over his alleged actions in 1990. I hope Glenn lives long enough to answer for the horrible things that he is rumored to have done.

[LuckyTheDog]

107. I'm thinking... wrath of God... (nt)

[Divine Discontent]

111. Blend Geck

is an attention freak - he is not to be believed and we can only hope if it is real - he gets a great dose of shitty treatment.

[HipChick]

112. wow! Those Voodoo dolls sure work quick...

[UTUSN]

113. Pre-existing condition, well, he's got coverage!1 n/t

[TankLV]

114. Yeah - right - HIS wacko candidate LOST HANDILY, and he's "sick"...!!!

How convenient...!!!

I hope he drops dead from poisoning...the world would be a better place without him and his kind...

[rucky]

115. It's a start...

[MisterP]

116. can they take him to Kingdom Hospital? nt

[Vidar]

119. I hope the knife slips.

[Maru Kitteh]

121. Thumper's mom says, if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all. - N/T

[MilesColtrane]

123. With all of the usual whining and crying he does, how could you tell?

[daleo]

125. His appendix is probably the most intelligent part of him

Clearly it said, "That's it, I'm getting out of here!"

[Egnever]

127. I hope it bursts

[AlienGirl]

131. I hope his experience will demonstrate to him why we need a single-payer system...

I also hope someone does a psych workup on him, and that he has some time away from the predators at Fox News who are exploiting his fragile mental state.

Tucker

[Contrary1]

137. It just has to be **payback** of some kind...

When a right-wing fundie co-worker heard I had been diagnosed with cancer, his remark to me was
"Well, what did you do to deserve that?"

[MNDemNY]

138. I wish him much pain.

[yurbud]

139. that's a good photo of him in your signature line

[Subdivisions]

142. He's beginning to rot from the inside. n/t

[quiet.american]

145. No doubt he'll come out of it w/more reasons why no else should have the care he'll get.

I'd started to say, "sorry to hear that" -- but who am I kidding. His schtick is toxic and harmful.

147. Id like to offer my sympathies to any Nurses and/or Caregivers who have to deal

with this horse's patootie. You are better people than me ... I wouldn't care for him.
