Glenn Beck Wonders If Chris Matthews Slurs His Words Because He Has A Drinking Problem?

Video
» 182 comments

Glenn Beck and his radio crew couldn’t stop laughing today when they played back clips of Chris Matthews talking on Hardball and using words that were only barely recognizable. Matthews kept slurring his words, saying “Prez Obama” instead of “President Obama,” “Hardbo” instead of “Hardball” and “debt seeing” instead of “debt ceiling,” which prompted Beck to worry “I don’t think alcoholism is funny.”

Beck’s sidekick Pat asked about Matthews, “does he have a drinking problem?” Beck responded, “I don’t know, but it does sound like it.” Yet Beck’s producer Stu was impressed how Matthews was “jamming forty words in three seconds” and recommended he should be cutting budgets since he’s already so skilled at chopping syllables out of words.

This “Matthews phenomenon” kept them all entertained for a lengthy period of joking as they kept stopping the sound clips to ask each other what Matthews was even trying to say. Stu concluded though, “if it’s alcoholism, it’s got to be vodka Red Bull because he is speaking three times the normal human rate!”

    And what’s Beck’s excuse for being completely incoherent and deranged?

    Becks moral lapses have been revealed, again.  Chris Matthew still has a television show.

    I’m sorry guys, I can’t stand Beck, but i’ve got to say… If you think Chris Matthews is the sultan of sobriety you’re just dead wrong. He’s a drunk. No nice way to say it.

    He spits too.  It’s annoying.

    His not being on TV anymore is his choice.  Don’t let the facts get in your way though.

    Chris Matthews is a diabetic. It is not uncommon to slur one’s word when one’s blood glucose level is low. All the Beck followers should consider that before slandering Matthews without any evidence that he is an alcoholic. As an RN, I doubt that he drinks much at all as alcohol can be deadly to a diabetic, particularly one who is insulin dependent like Matthews.

    Yes, and he overcame his addiction.  Which is more than I can say for you and your addiction to him.

    chris mathews has type 2 and takes lantus.  if he exercised and lost weight he probably would not need lantus. i would not describe him as insulin dependent and i would bet that his blood sugars are rarely low as lantus is a much improved long acting insulin that keeps blood sugars very steady.  my son has type 1 diabetes and is insulin dependent. an insulin pump delivers his novolog 24/7. he is at risk for lows and alcohol could be dangerous for him in large quantities as it lowers blood sugar and the insentive to test his bg. maybe chris matthews just talks too fast, but i doubt that his slurring of words is because of his type 2, who knows if it is alcohol.

  • Anonymous

    Beck signed a contract 5 year contract in 2007 JUST FOR RADIO for $50 million, which equals $10 mil a year. Huffington Post wrote in April of 2009 that he was set to make $18 million that year. In April 2010 Forbes ran an article saying that only $2 million of his $32 million
    annual salary comes from his Fox News show.

    Matthews renewed his contract in March of 2009 for about $5 million a year, give or take.

    Leigh, lantis is insulin as you correctly point out. He is insulin dependent; many type 2 diabetics are. I am; have been for over 30yrs. And I am neither overweight nor inactive. I have lows that are symptomatic at times, particularly if I don’t eat when I should or when I am sick. I don’t drink alcohol at all as it causes an initial rise in my BG followed by a rapid decrease. Each person with diabetes has different issues. 
    As for your son, I am sorry that he has to deal with type 1. My heart goes out to you and him. I hope and pray that someday soon there will be a cure for both types of diabetes. Good luck to your son.

    Yes, Pable. I am an RN. I am not the one who said you bring on diabetes. I questioned a comment by another poster:
    “He brings it on himself.” 
    To which I replied:
    Huh? You don’t “bring on” diabetes.

    Now, you are correct that one can develop type 2 diabetes in part due to poor life-style choices. However, it is a complicated process. Some people can be over-weight and sedentary and never develop diabetes. Others, like me, can be thin and active and still develop it.  But once one has diabetes, one cannot always reverse it. And one rarely brings on a low deliberately. It is that that I was referencing.

    We all should and can discuss issues and disagree with one another  without trying to tear each other apart. Personally, I am a liberal who comes from a family of conservatives. LOL Even my adult son is a a staunch conservative. Yet we are able to have spirited and respectful conversations about politics and issues about which we disagree. I like to think that we learn from one another and have become tolerant of different opinions.
     I hope you and I will have many spirited and respectful conversations. :)

    Ms.Miller, you sound like a lovely civilized woman. I’m familiar with the website, Craig Crawford’s “Trail Mix” that you mentioned earlier. Mediaite is a totally different experience than “Trail Mix”. Mediaite is truly is a website where left, right and a few middle people come to duke it out, and there’s very little censorship. Much of what goes on here is political gossip.  There is also an enormous amount of rudeness, meanness and stupidity, mostly, but not all, from the right. There is also mixed in with this chaos a fair amount of intelligent discussion, both right and left. It gives people like me a venue to express their ideas, idealism and concern for what is happening to our wonderful country as it seems to be in a downward spiral. I’m sure you’ll find some positive stimulation here. Welcome.

    Valerie, you’ll believe what you want to believe.  Michelle didn’t lie – you can go check it yourself.  You didn’t like Beck so you’re happy wallowing in your belief that he was fired.  Roger Ailes stated he wasn’t fired, in fact they have a couple of business ventures going together.  Beck has bigger fish to fry and he marches to his own drummer (don’t you just hate that?)

    Besides Valerie – if in fact Beck was fired – than Roger should receive a medal for being the kindest, most thoughtful boss ever.  He allowed Beck to do what he wanted to do to the very end.  He allowed Beck to have a live show on the very last day.  Obviously, because he hadn’t fired Beck, he knew that Beck was not going to bad mouth Fox on his way out the door.  If you watched that last show Beck highly praised Fox.

    So, again – what is your point?

    I much prefer when Beck points out Matthew as being an anti-intellectual blowhard – a criticism which has more weight and is highly reproducible.  Matthews is always keying on trivialities and style over substance, telling us he feels tingles instead of arguing the case for what makes him tingle.  Going after his manner of speech seems much like he wants to re-engage in a running feud.

    Matthews suffers from diabetes, I believe. He talked about it on the air before. He had to miss a fair amount of weeks because of it. He may have had a stroke, and that could be the cause of the slurring. He didn’t used to slur like that.

    Diabetes.org states consuming alcohol while not a great choice is fine if done so with caution.

    A Christian wouldn’t attack, judge, or ridicule to entertain at the expense of others the way Beck does, so I guess Mormons get a free pass to be dicks.

    And I wonder if Glen Beck is psychotic, with his bizarre ramblings. Actually, it’s obvious.

    Mathews worked for Tip O’Niel, a well known drunk. He picked it up from him. Tipsey was also a well known liar, just like Matthews.

    In his case there was a real body.

    I am not saying he didn’t. I was saying that he is turning up the heat a bit because he is in control of his own destiny now. He doesn’t have the marketing wing of FOX to draw in more listeners. I read a few stories that said one of the main causes of strife between him and the rest of FOX news, was that they promoted the hell out of him and he wouldn’t promote FOX. Most of his time was dedicated to promoting his radio show, books, what have you. He is on his own now and this is what pays his bills. He is really quite good at it.

    Ask your priest/preacher if they agree with you. And hold yourself to the same standard re: all other public spending. Thanks but no thanks on that bridge to nowhere.

    But Beck is a classic untreated alcoholic.  Alcoholics in recovery live by “rigorous honesty.”  Don’t expect to see that in Glenn.  He doesn’t want to lose his job.

    This is not news, Matthews has been slurring his words for years, it just took someone with balls to call him on it.

    Well, if he is an alcoholic, I hope he’s having a couple of Rob Roys with Speaker Boehner on a regular basis!

    Hardly the classic examply of a “recovering Alcoholic” on a 12 step program.    That being said,,, does anyone wonder why RusH Limbaugh,,, for all the money he has,,, spits into a golden microphone because of poor fitting Clappers??

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ZX7QFJTBH6LERTKH2JFHQXHXQI Jane Yavis

    Well,, you could start with simply telling the truth???

    I don not like to call anyone evil,,,,, and save it for the correct person….Beck is simply evil,,,, there are no other excuses for his actions,,, he is evil

    It’s Matthews admitting that he is a bias commentator and people shouldn’t take him serious when he slurs his words while being drunk on a bias national cable propaganda station.

    Now that comment was truly worthy of a 12 year old.  I’m going to tell your Mommy to shut the power off to the basement.

    beck is a dry/wet drunk (you choose). He’s also got a multitude of personality disorders, is a liar, and craves the limelight by saying outrageous things, much like coulter. what a worthless piece of dog droppings.

    If you were to listen to his show rather than trust those articles without reservation you’d know Beck raves about Fox on a pretty regular basis even as he damns the industry on the whole.  Most of those articles detailing strife between Beck and Fox were way overblown, narrative serving speculation, if there was anything to the story at all.  Since the split there’s been no recriminations expressed from anyone at either organization as one would expect if those stories were true at the time.  There’s no evidence their parting was anything but an amicable.

    He’ll be looking to elevate his profile, of course, but I tend to think this is better seen in his rallies rather than criticisms of Don Lemon.  This here story isn’t even anything new, really.  Beck’s been going after Matthews fairly regularly since Matthews turned his show over to Media Matters in his “week of Beck bashing.

    Your comment intones that Beck hadn’t been telling the truth.  Perhaps you didn’t catch it, but it was the View ladies whose accusations were divergent from the truth, as it was later proved.  Even so, as decent a guy as he is, he tried to weather their 9 minute character attack by preemptively apologizing if he were in the wrong, an apology, as it turned out, that wasn’t owed.

    Anywhere opinion is shaped, someone’s going to have an interest in skewing the debate.  But as to how?  That’s what I’d like to know.  I could be making a chuck of change for what I do currently just for kicks.

  • Anonymous

    I know you are but what is Beck?

    Seriously, is this the level of debate one should expect?  If you disagree with someone’s opinion, don’t bother countering it.  Just say anything.  It doesn’t matter.

    Mistake,… you can’t use medical facts! You must allow for “Beck” to make fun of anyone, at any time! Produce a hurt child and he’ll have a field day,… let’s see  “a Nazi camp”!

    I wonder why Beck keeps his hands in his lap so much.
    What could he be doing?

  • Just some Blow Hard…

    The sad thing is the truth will never be known and whatever the truth is will be disappointing.  A good rule of thumb is take rumor, speculation, observation, and known fact, mix it together and you get the truth. 

    I think Beck is throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks.  I don’t think he is hurting for attention, he is just exploring all avenues.  I am more cynical of media personalities motivations (no matter what idology) that anyone else.
