Glenn Beck, "crying" for photographer Jill Greenberg

Photographer Jill Greenberg has gotten in trouble for her political photos, such as the one of John McCain above and to the right. Here, however, Beck happily plays along. Now, if a liberal commentator came along and constantly broke down in his tears - how might that be received?

Glenn Beck's Tweets of Angst

GLENN BECK HAS A BIG OL' SAD!

Comedian Glenn Beck has gotten in touch with his inner emo kid, renewing the mission of the Glenn Beck Blubber Watch by posting a series of mopey, depressing, and self-flagellating Tweets onto his Twitter page.

Masochistically, I "follow" Glenn Beck's Twitter account. Last night, the night of June 2, 2009, he came off the first stop of his "Common Sense" comedy tour, and posted the following lachrymal tweets. Remember that you read tweets from the bottom-to-top, in order of chronology, and not from the top down.

Put on some Nine Inch Nails and enjoy:

Beck angry about pancake syrup or something, says FOX in danger of being shut down

Oof. Where to start with this one...? The government uses tax dollars to subsidize unions...?

My prediction for Glenn's on-air meltdown is still 9/11 or 9/12 of this year (2009), in line with his "9/12 Project" nonsense. Let's start a wager.

A Young Man's Fancy

Let me quote this out of context very briefly, from the pen of Glenn Beck, man of letters:

“I thought that one day, I would just wake up and realize it was just a stupid fling . . just innocent experimentation... I thought that if I admitted the love I had been hiding, society would reject me . . . .”

“It all started one day when I was twelve . . . That's when I found my true love . . . I had looked this person's way a few times and got that nervous feeling in my stomach – but I had been taught that this love was forbidden.”

“Then came the fair . . . my hand brushed this person's . . . my palms began to sweat . . . my hands began to shake . . . the Ferris wheel came to a complete stop.”

“I looked deeply into this person's eyes, and reached out to softly touch this person's face. I leaned in and I kissed this person.”

“I kissed my sister. First our lips met, seconds later our tongues. I ran my fingers through her silky hair and felt her soft skin. It was the height of passion and the moment I knew who my true love was . . . We knew we had done something so wrong, but at the same time, something so very right.”

In context: Glenn spins this fantasy scenario - something he likes to do on his show, if you haven't noticed - in his book The Real America: Messages from the Heart and Heartland to demonstrate why being gay is wrong. Yep, that's what it's for.

Beck is also an author, with more books on the way

Get ready, FOX Nation:

Beck has three books planned for this year, including "Arguing With Idiots," a nonfiction hardcover book; an audiobook called "America's March to Socialism"; and an e-book/paperback channeling of Thomas Paine, "Glenn Beck's Common Sense."
