Did Glenn Beck Get a Phone Call From the White House?
17 Dec 09 | Vanity

Posted on 12/17/2009 10:29:33 AM PST by DoctorBulldog

My wife was listening to Glenn Beck’s radio program, this morning. She informs me that Glenn Beck says that the White House called his “red phone” yesterday at the end of his FOX News TV show.

Evidently, the White House was upset that Glenn Beck interviewed Michael Goldfarb, author of the Offutt AFB closure threat report. In the interview, Goldfarb stood by his report. Glenn Beck, prefacing the story as a rumor, also stated that he confirmed this story with three sources. But, the White House vociferously denies the story.

Beck, however, can produce a phone record. But he won’t.

Um...he just got the call last night and hasn’t even talked about it yet. Give the man some times to “produce evidence” of this call you are so desperate to not believe.

And IMO, you sound more like a quack than Beck ever could.

Beck has often told the story about his alcoholism and how he had to hit bottom before he could get better. His first wife left him when she could take no more of his drinking. I don't think Beck wanted the divorce.

Rush has had at least 3 wives, and several relationships. He seems to be a serial womanizer to me. I can't respect a man that changes women like some men change cars.

About the tv show, I guess we will have to agree to disagree, because I think he was specifically targeting women. You really need to see the show before you can make a fair judgement.

You know the two of us equally well, aren’t we equally trustworthy?

You are nothing more than a screen name on the internet that makes unsubstantiated claims. Many watch and listen to Beck. They read his books. They confirm his claims and findings.

You are delusional.

You mean to say that Glen Beck is more credible than President Milhous? Shame on you. Get your Dashboard Obama and get with the program, you sick, twisted, eh, wait — I’m the sick twisted freak. OK, moving along ....

Is it possible...something was wrong with the women?

Just asking?

It’s actually a simile, not a metaphor. That aside, I can’t watch Beck - I found his radio show unlistenable, and his TV show unwatchable, but it’s the only thing on besides ESPN in the cardio theater.

“Why bash when you could encourage?”

I ‘hear’ that!

Beck rocks. Of all the radio hosts to run for president, Beck is last on my list. He is clearly in his element [while I think that Hannity is painfully overqualified for talk radio and would be a top notch president].

Beck has every bit as much substance as I do - you know the two of us equally well. I’m hardly delusional. Beck wrote a book? I wrote a blog. We both wrote stuff. Yay.

......if the White House called Glenn Beck on a minor story about an AFB closure......

There is a little more to it than that. He recited a litany of other similar incidents that were political strong arming but the air base incident was described as treason. Treason is punishable by death.

The stakes were raised considerably

You sir are no Glenn Beck. Don't even pretend. You wrote a blog. A million monkeys write blogs these days. Some are good. Most are unknown. You are the latter.

He never said it was a phone call. He was reading from something in his hand. I thought it was a piece of paper. Looking at the clip that someone was kind enough to post I see now it was a Blackberry. He definitely never said Obama called him. He said he had gotten a response from the White House on the story he just did and that it was outrageous.

That was so many years ago. All I remember is they were trying to use a fire hose and it was jerking them around. They were small sized women. It kind of looked like some sort of newbie hazing to me. Rush seemed to think it was hilarious.

I’m actually better than Beck on a lot of fronts - I’m still married and faithful, never drank myself into a drooling pile of blubber, and never had to go to rehab. If you think it’s absurd to consider listening to me, THATS”S MY POINT. It’s equally absurd when it’s Beck.

A carpenter uses his hammer and saw. A plumber uses a pipe wrench and threading machine. A mechanic uses his socket set and screwdriver. Every journeyman has his tools.

Rupert Murdoch’s tools are Roger Ailes and Glen Beck

Sounds hilarious to me also...........

You have these women that think they can get a job that they are under-qualified for ( and don't REALIZE it...)....and they totally FAIL at it.

They asked for it.....

The only person so far worthy of full name-calling recognition has been Rush, and Beck, you ain’t Rush.

Obama has called out Hannity by name...and he REALLY ain't no Rush.

Remeber the fire hose scene in ROXANNE? Was it anything like that? That was a pretty funny scene as I recall.
