Yesterday on Fox News’s “Glenn Beck Super Populism Insanity Hour and Militia Funtime Show,” guest David Buckner — an anti-tax professor at Columbia — withered in the heat of Beck’s passion for America and passed out. It’s not every day you see someone faint on live television, and it’s also not every day you see that someone tell the host four times that he’s going to pass out. Bonus points to Buckner for saying “Gone” before sinking to the floor.
Buckner is reportedly fine, but he’s learned an important lesson: you fly too close to the sun, you’re gonna get burned. And you do NOT wanna get burned on a Fox News set. The producers react to medical emergencies like old people f-cking in molasses.

I love how right after he says “gone” Beck looks back at his stupid chart, just before the guy falls. Way to care Glenn.
That “gone” shit is hilarious. I didn’t pick up on that first time I watched. Thanks blogger. Best laugh I had so far today…
That’s outstanding. I’ve never seen a news anchor work in so many sexual puns.
He should have found a way to say that “the Republican Party just taint what it used to be.”
BTW, the teabagging happens at MSNBC, not Fox News:

Found at another blog:
MSNBC’s David Shuster: “If you are planning simultaneous tea bagging all around the country, you’re going to need a Dick Armey.”
Someone fainted on Beck’s show and it wasn’t the Crybaby himself? WTF?
Something shiny? Just for me? I hope so!
“Yeah, you really don’t want to be passing out at one of Beck’s teabag parties.”
If Fox News teabagging parties are a success, what’s next for them? Maybe they’ll all wear assless chaps to protest our open borders?
I was stunned to see Beck could land a Columbia economist who would agree with his batshittery, so I checked out David Buckner. Turns out he’s an “Adjunct Assistant Professor of Psychology and Education” at Columbia Teacher’s College.
Not really an academic expert on the economy. I guess they brought him on for his charisma and stage presence.
Yeah, you really don’t want to be passing out at one of Beck’s teabag parties.
Tape cuts out before Beck tried to teabag him back to health.
Buddy’s right. I too demand that you balance this video evidence of Glenn Beck’s trainwreck with some imagined equal evidence of Keith Olbermann’s hypothetical possibly-just-as-bad show.
Be fair and balanced!! What are you, a communist?
Is it true that Beck picks stocks by throwing his poop at names on a dart board?
The guy’s face at 0:08 seconds is priceless.
Normally the only way I pass out during Glen Beck is by choking myself while masturbating, but hey, to each his own
“I wonder what Olbermann is up too today.”
Probably busy talking to viewers who spell at the third-grade level.
Go back to watching Beck. He probably has something shiny on for you.
Boy that Glenn Beck sure does suck. I wonder what Olbermann is up too today.
huh, Glen Beck wears pants
Looks like a conspiracy by those Marxist libs hellbent on destroying America to make this poor anti-tax professor faint! Have they invaded our bodily fluids through the fluridation of water?
i really want to know why every one keeps calling glenn a populist?
Funny, because Beck wants to know the same thing.
Beck: The second thing is, is that — you know, I was called — who was it that called me today, “a populist”? I’m not a populist! I’ve been saying this stuff when it was unpopular! I’ve got news for you: It’s still pretty unpopular!
I’d tell Beck to go buy a dictionary, but he’d probably find a way to take it as a sign of the imminent Islamomexifascist conspiracy and piss all over the floors.
i really want to know why every one keeps calling glenn a populist? he is saying the same things now that he was saying when he was on headline news… its just now he has 3 times the ratings he had there.
That reminds me of my last trip to the glory hole.
(Because I saw Glen Beck there, you see.)
I have the exact same reaction to anything the people on Fox say.
Also, I’m intrigued by his views that the Treasury has cancer.
I like Beck’s effort to catch the fainting man with a limp handshake.
Ah, is there anything that pants-pissing moron can’t fuck up?
