Glenn Beck is recovering from emergency surgery for appendicitis. He headed to the hospital in the middle of Wednesday’s radio show, leaving Pat Gray to fill in.

The appendectomy was confirmed later in the day by Judge Andrew Napolitano, who stepped in to host Beck’s TV show on Fox News Channel. Napolitano said Beck was expected to make a full recovery.

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 wonder what KOS and the DUmp are saying? I betcha it ain’t prayers for him.

For my part, prayers for a full and speedy recovery.

Prayers up.

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.

Get well, Glenn!

A great champion of truth and America. Get well soon!!!

I’m not going to link to that trash blog, but Gawker said something about his “heroic appendix” trying to take him out. Another fine example of liberal peace and tolerance.
