Glenn Beck rushed to hospital
Posted: 1:02 AM, November 5, 2009
Glenn Beck yesterday was forced off the air by an attack of appendicitis.
The attack came on mid-afternoon during his radio show. The controversial commentator began complaining on the air that he wasn't feeling well and shortly after left his co-host, Pat Grey, to finish the program. Beck was taken by car to an unnamed Manhattan hospital where he underwent an appendectomy.
Christopher Balfe, the president of Mercury Radio where Beck's program airs, joked that "before going under, Glenn asked the doctor to draw out the surgery procedure on a blackboard."
A source said that he was expected to be off the air for the rest of the week.
Judge Andrew Napolitano filled in on Beck's TV show last night.

I have had several of older people I know that had to have their Appendicts out. I had mine out when I was a teenager which is not unusal for a youngster. Wonder why older people are now having that problem?

OWGs (Old White Guys) are statistically unlikely to get appendicitis. Under Zer0’s health care, they will be left to die. It took me 24 hours to convince my local E-Room to take mine out.

Good thing Beck is not a Christian Scientist.

I am so glad to hear that he is going to be just fine. Many thanks to his medical team and prayers for a speedy recovery.
He did remark that they did not cut off his feet. LOL.

Conspiratorialists have expressed amazement that the CIA has an injectable drug that induces appendicitis that quickly. They’re even more amazed that the CIA will let the Obama White House have any.
I look forward to a speedy recovery for Glenn and seeing him back on his show. He may be a nut, but he’s my nut, and I love him!
