Beck is on the downward spiral
Here is the audio of Beck courtesy of Media Matters:
Beck’s arrogance was on full display today as he blamed Massa, and not himself for booking such an obvious train wreck of a man. Beck said, “I almost threw him out of the studio like three times, but no, no, I wasn’t going to be that hot head kind of guy, and I wasn’t angry for any other reason, other than, what did I say to you coming up on the elevator coming up this morning, Pat? We were arriving and I said what was it before I had an adult who tries to convince America that he is involved in a tickle fest. What did we have on the agenda, because I had the whole week of shows mapped out, and this guy took me off track?”
He continued, “What a waste of time this man was. Now I’m torn on it. I’m torn, because there’d be a lot of conversation about this guy. He was on Larry King. Well it was CNN. It was this it was that, blah, blah, blah. There still is. There’s still conversation. I am seeing it on Twitter and everything else. People, Republicans or conservatives are like you know he was trying to talk code to Glenn and Glenn’s just not smart enough to. Talk Code? Shut up, shut up, I’m really torn because there are so many things we could do, but now that we have spent the hour, we don’t ever have to pay attention this man ever again.”
Glenn Beck has only himself to blame for his woes. Yesterday, Michelle Malkin tried to warn Beck about giving an hour to Massa, but he yelled her down. Beck was attempting to use Massa to advance his Obama conspiracy theories, but instead, this is what he got.
The responsibility for this fiasco rests with Beck himself, but he pushed his senior producer, not only off of his show off of the network. Beck and a small group of likeminded staffers are running his show. There is no one left to point out to Beck that hosting a scandal ridden former liberal congressman in the hope that he backs up your own wild conspiracy theories, might not be such a good idea. The problem for Beck is that his fame survives off of controversy and publicity. He said on his radio show yesterday that people were not paying attention to the same old guests that he has on to support his conspiracy theories. Beck tried to use Massa for his own ends, but instead ended up being made a fool of for an hour.
This looks like the beginning of the end for Beck, because his ego completely blinded his judgment. It seems that Glenn has forgotten that he owes his fame to many of the same conservatives who he told to shut up today. Without the audience Beck will end up going back to being a morning disc jockey. He appears to be setting himself up to learn the hard lesson that the audience giveth and audience taketh away.

@nikolai, I think Glenn needs some adult supervision or a producer to tell him no, or else we are going to be seeing a lot more of these train wrecks.
I am confused according to Bleck the government is so inept they cannot do any right but they can run a secret shadow government that runs everything but nobody knows about this and everyone in the government is involved and they are trying to makes us all Socialist by enacting healthcare reform even though Bleck are against healthcare reform because the government cannot do anything right but then there is this shadow government thing. Oh my god my head hurts.
