Is Glenn Beck still alive? My Right-wing mom would listen to him, but never Rush (“He’s too full of hate!”). ---

> [@digs](#): > > Is Glenn Beck still alive? Physically, yes. His career, barely. He’s fading into obscurity as his attempts to become a conservative media mogul have sputtered and flickered away, certainly no Blaze. He has a really great skill being a loser, honestly. He was strongly opposed to Trump in 2016, even comparing him to Hitler. In 2020, he strongly backed Trump. I think everything that Beck supports ends up failing. I know a number of politicians I’d love to see him support. ---

I wonder if Trump will accept Beck’s poisoned endorsement in the 2024 primary or general if he gets that far. I sorta hope so. ---

He tried riding the never-Trump train for a while, but when he realized he wasn’t getting much mileage (or, for that matter, lucre) out of it, he became a full-on Trumper. ---

That’s appropriate since he’d sometimes call himself “El Rushbo” on his radio program. ---

I’m hoping Rush and Henry Kissinger can team up to discover a way to become even more dead. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rush-limbaugh-you-are-dead-to-us/933143.md?page=16) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rush-limbaugh-you-are-dead-to-us/933143.md?page=18)
