sweetmelissa31: Why would God do this

He did it out of smite...

 
iamgoz [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 06:34:11 PM  
Reportedly he had just ranted "I know a few of my internal organs, and I like them. I don't think you're going to burst, but how can I be sure? I'd like to trust you. How do you respond to that?"

 
No YOU'RE a Towel [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 06:34:30 PM  
Good thing he has Health Insurance.

 
Kyosuke [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 06:36:27 PM  
He's still full of shiat, though.

Well, whatever he was trying to do he obviously farked it up, since Beck is still alive.

Good thing for him that Obamacare hasn't passed yet--I hear that in Canada, France, England, and every country other than the good old U.S. of A. with its existing for-profit health insurance system, everyone who needs an emergency appendectomy has to get on a waiting list and wait at least 24 months, and even then it's usually performed by a podiatrist or a washing machine repairman. That's what Glenn Beck told me, so it must be true.

 
PC LOAD LETTER [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 06:39:22 PM  
Last time, he railed on his Health Care quality. Let's see him talk about how awesome it was this time.

 
Drakmordis [recently expired TotalFark] 2009-11-04 06:39:50 PM  
If only, post-op, his appendix would do us all a favor and lodge itself firmly in Beck's throat, right around the larynx would be nice, and make him choke on his own bile....

Damn, if only the appendix produced bile, this would be more poetic.

 
optikeye [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 06:47:06 PM  
My thoughts and prayers are with the brave appendix, who gave it's life in a attempt make the world a better place.

 
AdolfOliverPanties [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 06:51:19 PM  
Did they do a rape kit on him?

 
Lando Lincoln [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 06:52:37 PM  
I won't be surprised if this turns out to be untrue.

Hopefully they will preserve the appendix so that it can be used for a DNA sample, so that they can see if it matches any evidence relating to unsolved crimes that may or may not have occurred in or about 1990.

 
big_pth [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 07:07:44 PM  
I don't wish ill on any person. Beck, despite all of his asshattery, is a person. Barely.

 
dudemanbro [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 07:17:06 PM  
I hope they leave a scalpel in his belly.

So would that make this a preexisting condition?

 
Marcus Aurelius [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 07:22:08 PM  
I'm hoping for a nice bout of peritonitis, followed closely by his health insurer denying him coverage.

I am hoping for a speedy recovery, followed closely by his health insurer denying him coverage. :)

Damn shame it wasn't Pelosi or Obama.

 
sweetmelissa31 [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 07:59:31 PM  
I hope they made him show ID before taking him to the hospital, to make sure he wasn't illegal.

 
DamnYankees [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 08:03:41 PM  
This is an instance where TFA's headline is much better than the Fark one.

 
Gosling [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 08:11:39 PM  
You're a dick, Beck, but get well soon all the same.

 
madmann [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 08:12:37 PM  
Hrmfh.

Very convenient that he would suddenly be whisked out of sight....just as these accusations that he did something in 1990 are coming back to haunt him. I can't say FOR SURE that there's a connection, but he hasn't denied it.

 
Gosling [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 08:15:43 PM  
Marcus Aurelius: I'm hoping for a nice bout of peritonitis, followed closely by his health insurer denying him coverage.

Nah. I don't want to play that way. I'm taking the high road and wishing him well just like I'd do for anyone on my side. Appendicitis sucks.

 
UNC_Samurai [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 08:20:10 PM  
I hope he takes this near-fatal experience to reevaluate his life. I'm sure he's a better person away from the microphone.

 
GAT_00 [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 08:23:52 PM  
He lived? Fark.

WTFDYW: Damn shame it wasn't Pelosi or Obama.

You know you just threatened the life of the President and that's grounds to report you to the USSS, right?

 
Mordant [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 08:24:17 PM

why would you assume that either of those scumbags has human organs ?

 
SoothinglyDeranged [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 08:24:40 PM  
Now.... NOW!

 
jake_lex [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 08:24:43 PM  
I think it's that guilt thinking about what happened in 1990 (you know what I mean) building up inside him.

 
shivashakti [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 08:27:07 PM  
I'll pray for him and his health.

 
Mentat [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 08:27:24 PM

I agree.

I'm not going to cry for him though.

Will get him next time.

 
Poopspasm [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 08:39:33 PM  
*sigh*

I'm glad he lived. Why couldn't he get a tracheotomy though? It'd be nice if he had to STFU for a while. Also, I'm just kind of curious which direction all that crazy would head without his leadership.

 
The Icelander [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 08:42:06 PM

Come to think of it, that would be sort of interesting.

 
MorrisBird [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 08:48:31 PM  
When I was ten I read this really dreadful story about a 15 year old girl who died of appendicitis at the junior prom. It scared the crap out of me. Kind of like what Glenn Beck does. He scares the crap out of people. Glenn Beck is America's inflamed, soon to rupture, appendix.

 
SilentStrider [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 08:54:21 PM  
i'm ok that he lived, but all the same, i wish it had been something more serious to keep him off the airwaves longer.

I thoroughly enjoyed this comment and would like to see more of its ilk.

He's not leading it, he's stoking it. Sarah Palin thinks she's leading it, but she isn't smart enough. The neocons are trying to lead it, but they have the tiger by the tail at this point.

Didn't Fox News just violate HIPAA?

 
Riche [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 09:10:51 PM  
I hope his ER doc was some guy from Saudi Arabia named Muhammad.

I can just picture Beck now: "Sir..." **gasp** "Sir... prove to me that you are not working with our..." **gasp** "enemies."

"Nurse, please prepare a catheter for Mr. Beck."

 
SilentStrider [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 09:12:59 PM  
Bonkthat_Again: Didn't Fox News just violate HIPAA?

if they had Beck's permission to share, then no.

 
MorrisBird [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 09:24:27 PM  
SilentStrider: if they had Beck's permission to share, then no.

I envision Beck, in paroxysms of pain, scratching out his signature on a HIPAA authorization for his good pals at FOX. The clock is ticking. What is more valuable? My life, or my allegiance to Rupert? Hold off, mighty anesthesiologist, he cries. I need to sign a HIPAA release for my pal, Rupert.

"We have a medical crisis going on here," says the surgeon. But, wait! Beck is brave enough to hold off the emergency surgery to ensure that FOX News gets its story. "I may be weeping, but I'm brave enough to sign this form. You know, for the America I knew on 9/12. Hold off that life saving surgery," our valiant warrior cries! And then, his appendix ruptures, he develops peritonitis, ARDS, and then he dies. But, he was a hero. He was a hero to all who loved him.

What a man.

And that is why you're one of my favorite farkers.

 
djkutch [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 09:40:00 PM  
Beck has selflessly willed his body to test our health care system and show it is the best in the world.

Granted, he whined a little about his last go around, but it's a true a hero that steps up to the plate again.

 
brainiac-dumdum [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 09:48:09 PM  
It was during his radio program, so sadly there is no video of Glenn clutching his abdomen, vomiting, and finally collapsing in pain.

tacky, really tacky.

A person can die from appendicitis. It probably doesn't happen all that often, but appendicitis is serious.

True enough. But you'll excuse the Schadenfreude when bad things happen to folks who deserve them...

Excessive gall.

 
dahmers love zombie [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 10:28:09 PM  
I wish him to remain alive and healthy, following complications which result in very, very expensive treatment from specialists flown in from Canada and the UK, and which are not covered by his insurance plan, resulting in his bankruptcy.

 
thomps [TotalFark] 2009-11-04 10:41:25 PM  
i would just like to point out that glenn beck is a horrible person and i feel no obligation to wish him well.
