On his way out at Fox News - and tanking in the ratings - Glenn Beck is still making a stab for relevance.
This week the prince of paranoia tackled the pinnace of England's wife. On his scheduled weekly Friday appearance on the Bill O'Reilly show Beck attempted to speak in an English accent to mock Kate Middleton.
Beck told O'Reilly he had skipped watching the royal wedding. Then he scoffed that he had seen someone calling Middleton "the most perfect princess ever."
For Beck, such statements were completely nauseating. "I'm like, 'what are you talking about?" he said.
O'Reilly suggested that the British people were after a bit of escapsim, and Middleton supplied that by being a "commoner" who marries into the British aristocracy, Beck was apalled.
"She's a commoner?" he asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Was she in like a sooty dress before?"
Then in an Eliza Doolitle voice, beck imitated Kate Middleton in a fake Cockney accent: "I've got some ashes on some soot on my face right now, I does. I'm going to learn to talk like a lady."
"What I'm getting out of this is that you don't have a lot of respect for British society," O'Reilly responded.

Beck is one of the greatest con men out there. Imagine parlaying his schtick into 30 million a year? What a country!

"England's wife"? Pardon. The royal wedding is baloney. But Beck's response is characteristically witless.

The Beck lovers will hold a vigil for the departing Beck and his fascist anti Jewish views at Fox/GOP central.

he is such a moron. Little- minded people think it makes them look good to put others down. NOT

It is amazing how ignorant the left continues to be. Would it be too much to ask anyone of these guys to just listen to Beck with an open mind one time, and think about what he says, not how he says it. I have yet to meet a leftist who is capable of normal adult debate without resorting to juvenile name calling when they cannot refute the obvious facts of an arguement.

I"m devastated I agree with Beck (this time only)

America needs more Glenn Becks' and less Obama's. Thank goodness someone on television is exposing what Obama is doing to America. (God help us if Beck goes). People that rag on Beck should try watching more than 2 minutes, they just might learn something.

The British have a royal family?

Glenn Beck is entertaining and I think he just needs a hug or something,...I found it humorous and he is right on even if a lot of the Irish population are West Britons anymore,..it is sad when the Irish stick up for the Brits,..our historic and current occupier in the North.

Oh leave Beck alone. He is the only one that tells it like it is and God Bless his research department. They uncover things that all the other news media wish they had the brains to do!!

Beck is so incoherent it's a wonder how he ended up on TV!

He needs to be squished like a boot on a cockroach!
