Glenn Beck’s Daughter Wanted Him To Crash Katie Couric’s Party

Glenn Beck was back from vacation today, on TV, radio and Twitter.

At the beginning of his radio show, Beck talked about his vacation, which he shared with another major news star – CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric. But Beck didn’t get an invite to her New Year’s party, and he wasn’t happy.

The Right Scoop has the video of Beck’s first few minutes on air today. He says Couric was “staying right next to me,” but didn’t know until he encountered her on the beach. “I’m on the beach with my kids, and this woman comes up to me wearing a hat and glasses, and so I don’t recognize her, and I don’t usually see Katie Couric in a swimsuit,” he said.

Still not recognizing her, she starts yelling his name and Beck says he thinks “Oh jeez, crazy lady on the beach.” It should be noted that, at the very least, Couric and Beck spent an hour together in September for the premiere of Couric’s web show, @KatieCouric (also, they share a publicist). So eventually, Beck recognized her, but then he told his radio audience something else.

“On New Years Eve she had a party and I wasn’t invited,” he said, later joking that he yelled “Couric keep it down, we’re trying to watch Cops over here!”

This led to a “dinner discussion” between Beck and his family, over whether he should have Salahi’ed the event. He says his daughter endorsed the idea. “This is my daughter’s reasoning,” he said. “We couldn’t just crash the party because that would be rude. And she said ‘More rude than not inviting you to the party?’”

If he crashed, he would be wrong, but Couric couldn’t throw him out because “then she’d have two wrongs against your one wrong.”

Is any of this real? Who knows – as unpredictable and brash TV Glenn Beck can be, Radio Glenn Beck is even wilder. Earlier he described a “major news organization” that called to ask if he had died in a plane crash, but never identified which organization that was. Either way, it’s an entertaining few minutes, and you get to see some video of Beck to prepare you mentally for 5pmET tonight. Glynnis is pumped.

Steve, there’s this rumor that Glynnis went to Haiti over the Holiday break and had a Glenn Beck Voodoo Doll made.
Is this true?

If Katie decides to address this through one of her webforums, if nothing else, she could get some fun press.

Oh goodie… another reason to feed her obsession.

Well, according to Glenn Beckian Logic, as long as you pose the question and ask the person why there hasn’t been any response or rebuttal, then it must be true.

m, you left out a key point in the Glen Beck logic.

1. Provide your evidence and/or proof
2. Ask questions
3. Ask for a rebuttal

If you skip to just 2 and 3 you are doing a disservice to yourself and others.

So Glenn got to see Katie in a swimsuit? Good for you, Glenn! Couric’s sole saving grace is the fact that she takes good care of herself.

I think you have Glenn Beck confused with the people who pull schtuff like creating a website falsely claiming he’s a rapist-murderer.

Beck’s facts are usually rock solid, and that’s why there are few responses. When there are corrections to be made, they are of minor non-essential points, such as with Van Jones. Jones said he was radicalized while behind bars. Beck mistakenly referred to Jones as a “convicted felon” — he was not in jail for a felony. But in responding to that, Jones’ defenders (including the White House) did NOT respond to Beck pointing out Jones’ self-proclaimed Communist views and Maoist goals, or whether the vetting of Jones revealed what a simple web search revealed: He’s a 9/11 truther. Rather than let those questions continue to fester, the Obamanauts unceremoniously cut Jones loose at midnight on a Sunday morning.

I can’t imagine that Beck gets invited to many parties not held in mobile home parks.

Wow, must be a slow day on Mediaite to post this crap. Seriously.

What’s your point, Real? Explain.

To “Real”: A very astute observation!

I’m trying to draw guys like RRK out — get them to explain what they mean. Most of the time, they’re too ashamed.

That is just NOT TRUE. To back this up, there are many unbiased sites, such as PolitiFact.com that rate the truthfulness of all of the talking heads as well as our elected representatives. I’ve just checked politifact identifying Glenn Beck statements ONLY. Out of 10 recent remarks attributed to Beck: ZERO WERE RATED as TRUE!!! The best he got was 1 received a “Half-True” rating and 2 others Barely True. 5 were FALSE, 2 were “PANTS ON FIRE FALSE”.

Here are a few other sites to check before you repeat what you hear from G. Beck or R. Limbaugh: http://www.snopes.com

Disagree with the Obama supporters if you choose, but disagree with actual facts.

What I can never figure out, is the people who the left wants to champion for things like healthcare… are also the people whom they blame and attack whenever they need a scapegoat.

“There are XYZ poor people who need help, and that’s why we should nationalize healthcare!” cry the left. And then RRK chimes in, calling the very same people all kinds of names. How very confusing.
The Real Royal King

I regret my meaning was not clear. Beck appeals largely to a poorly educated, poorly read audience centered in the South. As for your other point of confusion, I have to admit you confuse me. Demographics are just that. I don’t think the demographic group is being attacked or even singled out. They ought to have the same access to healthcare, for example, as the unfortunate Messrs. Limbaugh and Beck (although I would hope they would not abuse the systems as Limbaugh and Beck have). Who knows? Perhaps with adequate healthcare, nutrition and education, their children can have better constructed and maintained trailers that don’t need old tires tossed onto the roofs, or even break out of the trailer parks altogether.

Evidence? I’m sure you’ve got statistics, right? I mean, you wouldn’t just make up demographics, would you?

And yeah… after reading this last gem of a post, Royal… it’s clear you don’t look down your nose at certain people. Yeah… right.
The Real Royal King

Would it be at all helpful if I were to write in a language other than English, ImNotBlue [sic]?

Depends… would it be easier for you to post supporting evidence in another language? It’s really up to you. Whatever you can do to support your argument, instead of just blanket assumptions would be great!

Thanks!

Vacation?? I thought Glenn was again down in Hell – helping Jerry Falwell scrubbing toilets.

In addition, I see some of our regular intellectual “stars” are out here tonight!
