Five Great Moments in Glenn Beck Crying On Air

We’ve reached the end of an era, folks. Glenn Beck, Fox News personality and potential crazy person, is leaving the “fair and balanced” network. Rumors are flying that Fox News is far from unhappy with the turn of events. Fox News chief Roger Ailes had this to say about the departure…

”That story of what’s going on and why America is in trouble today, I think he told that story as well as could be told. Whether you can just keep telling that story or not … we’re not so sure.”

In light of the shocking development, we’re dedicating today’s edition of Weird Wide Web to Glenn Beck. Here are five great moments in Glenn Beck crying like a girl on air. Well, four moments, with a bonus fifth that makes us think it’s all a sham thrown in at the end.

So long, Beck, you’ll be missed (by crazy people).

I’m Turning Into a Televangelist!

Hold up one damn minute. Forward to right around the 2:00 mark. Did he just imply that Chuck Norris isn’t a real hero? Has this guy never seen an 80′s movie?

Anyway, the crying here is pretty constant throughout, but he comes closest to losing it right around 3:30 mark. Good times.

Mexico Is Going to Collapse!

Glenn Beck weeping for Mexico? Hello, irony!

Okay, fine, he doesn’t really weep for Mexico. But right around the 4:00 mark, he does get teary eyed over a woman who went missing right near the Mexican border.

Glenn Beck is No Embezzler

We’d be totally pissed too if we asked for donations and some smart ass sent us eight pennies.

The Crying Game

A ridiculously appropriate mashup if we’ve ever seen one. Glenn Beck’s crying antics paired with the theme to the movie The Crying Game.

Is It All a Fraud?

Could it be? Are we being hornswaggled by Glenn Beck’s waterworks? This video seems to imply just that. Here, he uses Vicks under his eyes to bring on the tears. Being that it’s just a photoshoot, there’s nothing immediately damning there. But at one point, while trying to fan the Vicks vapor into his eyes, he says “I think my eyes are just getting used to it.” That would lead one to believe that the Vicks tactic is one he employs pretty frequently.

Imagine that.

    When I was a kid I lived in Utah, and the Boy Scouts was taken over by Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS Church). This, so called religion, practices underage polygamy, they send the boys off on missions to divide the underage sisters among the dirty old men of the clan. Now when these underage girls get pregnant, these same dirty old men, send them to the state to get their welfare checks . You should see some of the palace homes that are paid with welfare checks (not on just one of course). By the way this is the newest religion that was made right here in United States of America, I guess their also in AZ, CA, NM, TX, NV, CO, OK.

    Glenn Beck’s comments on Japan as being a sign from GOD is trash talk, kicking them when they are down, would he say the same if a terrible thing happened to himself or his family? When someone hides behind religion to do or say something we know is wrong we should stand up and point it out (right the Wrong).

    Someone should question Glenn Beck if this was a sign from GOD or just stuff that happens.

    The polygamist branch of Mormonism is awful in my opinion. Because they don’t take on women who are adult and have choices, they prey on children who then grow up knowing no other way. It’s child abuse, plain and simple to me.

    I agree with your comments regarding Beck.

    You know, Montana. The FLDS is a joke to the LDS Church. Glenn Beck has nothing to do with it, nor do the millions of members of the LDS Church.
    You wrote “When someone hides behind religion to do or say something we know is wrong we should stand up and point it out (right the Wrong).”
    You are saying something that is wrong, Beck isn’t “hiding behind religion”. He believes what he says. So do millions of his viewers and listeners.
    Having an opinion that things that occur on Earth are caused by God is not “trash talking”. It is a belief. Just because it’s not your belief, doesn’t make it wrong.

    I read the article on Beck that pointed out that his production company is working on several NEW items for Fox News both on air and online. I don’t think Beck is leaving Fox so much as he is leaving a ‘not quite prime time’ slot for a better one! So hold your celebrations left wing nutjobs, ‘Beck is back!’ will be the catchphrase for next year’s Fox lineup of shows.

    Well, what’s new. These right wing nut jobs love to cry. I’m getting sick of Boo Hoo Boehmer and his constant bawling. One would think he is the only guy in America that had to work his way thru college. He doesn’t have a clue what it is like to be poor.

    No one should be surprised at what goes on at FOX. It is not a NEWS station. It’s sole purpose is to brainwash ignorant Americans toward doing the bidding of the super rich through lies and half-truths.
