Glenn Beck Calls Sarah Palin a ‘Clown': I’m Embarrassed I Supported Her

Did Glenn Beck just pick a massive fight with Sarah Palin? You betcha!

The conservative radio host had some choice words for the former Alaska governor during the Thursday broadcast of his nationally-syndicated program, “The Glenn Beck Radio Program,” calling Palin a “clown” and saying he was “embarrassed” that he ever supported her.

“Yeah, I’m going to say it,” Beck told his audience. “I don’t care what Sarah Palin says any more. Sarah Palin has become a clown. I’m embarrassed that I was once for Sarah Palin. Honestly, I’m embarrassed.”

I saw footage of him taking the stage (trying to look oh so contemplative) and they didn't cut the music off as he began speaking. He actually turned around and said either turn the music off or I will stop speaking.

It was hilarious.

I remember one interview in particular where he was so fawning and creepy that I actually felt a little sorry for her because even she was smart enough to be uncomfortable. Glenn quite clearly had a massive crush. She didn't reciprocate, so now he hates her. It certainly can't be because he hates her positions. They have been consistently clownish from day one...nothing has changed.

While Palin was clearly sucked into the cult of celebrity minutes after her debut as running-mate, her advocacy "has become" no more incoherent than it ever was--or that Beck's ever was. They are two grifting peas in an airtight, windowless pod.

I've never seen a right-wing charlatan like Beck drop a fellow charlatan because they just didn't make sense, or because they said something terrible. They drop people when they become an anchor. If his bosses don't like Trump, he doesn't like Trump. Or anyone who does.

I heard some of his show this week - not sure why- he said that they (he has a team approach) have been pointing out that Trump isn't and never has been a conservative but every time they do they get a screeching horde yelling back at them via email and posts I guess. Mind you, this is mostly from his subscribers. Trump has moved into his actual turf.

BTW, this neighbor calls himself a "Constitutionalist-Independent", is against the minimum wage, thinks Fracking is a good idea because it provides jobs and is convinced Sadam Hussein moved his WMD out of Iraq into Syria just prior to Gulf War 2! I love having this person as a neighbor but it pains me to no end that he is so propagandized. It will be interesting to see how he handles Glen Beck calling Sarah Palin a clown.
