As the year ends it is time to reflect on the top 10 Glenn Beck Moments of 2009. Beck has certainly provided a fair share of entertainment this year as he has become the most prominent Obama administration opponent. So with no further delay allow me to introduce number nine. For story #10 dealing with Beck's Cash for Clunker's conspiracy theory click here.
Story #9 focuses on Glenn Beck's appendicitis. On November 4th Beck was foced off the air in order to have an emergency appendectomy. The incident turned out to be nothing serious as Beck recovered relatively quickly.
Some of Beck's critics (including myself) wished him well but after Beck was revealed to be fine Stewart used the story to pull off what might have been his best Beck mockery. Stewart took on the Beck persona to explain how the appendicitis was actually part of a liberal conspiracy involving his internal organs. In the relatively short segment Stewart managed to copy eight of the Beck's common themes in his broadcasts.

people are saying that Glenn Beck came out as bisexual, but I can't find which interview that was from. I googled it but haven't found it. Can someone help me find that interview?
Well, something good came out of the GB appendicitis. The Judge. Man, you thought GB was radical? He makes GB look fairly moderate. Love the Judge. Kudos. Loved the show.
Hey Ryan, you got a pretty good thing going on here. I'm hooked.
Got something to say?
