Bill will be interviewed for an hour on Glenn Beck's show for Friday, May 23. I just caught a brief view, and WOW! Really incredible hearing some of Bill's views on real subjects.
Anyone who can watch this I think would find it really interesting. I really enjoyed seeing a glimpse into Bill's views. What a guy!  |

I really tried to watch Bill on Glenn Beck tonight, but just couldn't take it (Beck that is). When he started to tell Bill that he (Beck) was a religious man I nearly threw up. By the way, what I saw of it, Bill was great.
It is a mystery to me why Beck is still on the air. Of course he invites a lot of attention with his idiotic obnoxiousness. |

I missed Bill on Conan. I can imagine that it was really fun.
I watched Bill on the Glenn Beck show. Really enjoyed it. It was interesting seeing how Bill felt on a lot of personal and political issues. Sort of getting to see the man behind the entertainer. I'd love to see more shows with him in it like that. |

| Yeah, I tried to watch it and just when it was getting interesting they broke for commercial. Then it kind of when no where fast, it wasn't a good interview and when Glenn said, "I don't care what your political views are, but you can tell me if you want" I thought what ? Time for a commercial and retool. |

From ThinkProgress.org...
ABC's Boston Legal Takes Swipe At Glenn Beck, Ignores His Affiliation With ABC
By Amanda. Dec 5th, 2007 at 12:13 pm
On ABC's sitcom Boston Legal, attorney Shirley Schmidt, played by Candice Bergen, was tasked with defending a "shock jock" who was fired for saying on air, "Old people should die." The comment was allegedly part of his political argument that the United States "could be heading for a day when the bulk of our federal budget goes to subsidizing retirees."
While the plot of the show is fictional, Bergen's character took a real-life approach in her arguments defending the fired radio host. She blasted the media for censoring political content while ignoring "racist or hateful remarks":
| Shirley Schmidt wrote: | Glenn Beck. He's on CNN, the "most trusted name in news." He's referred to the Katrina survivors as a vulgarity I'm not allowed to repeat here. He also said he didn't think it possible to hate any victims faster than the 9/11 victims.
These so-called journalists are everywhere, and frankly, I wouldn't mind seeing them gone. But it's one thing to curtail racist or hateful remarks, it's quite another to censor political content. |
Here's the Sept. 9 quote on The Glenn Beck Show that Bergen referenced:
| Glenn Beck wrote: | | But the second thought I had when I saw these people and they had to shut down the Astrodome and lock it down, I thought: I didn't think I could hate victims faster than the 9-11 victims. These guys -- you know it's really sad. We're not hearing anything about Mississippi. We're not hearing anything about Alabama. ... And that's all we're hearing about, are the people in New Orleans. Those are the only ones we're seeing on television are the scumbags. |
Bergen identified that Beck has a show on CNN. But she should also have mentioned that he's a contributor to Boston Legal's network, ABC; Beck is a regular commentator on Good Morning America. When he was hired, GMA's senior executive producer called Beck a "leading cultural commentator with a distinct voice."
Too bad ABC executives don't take the advice of their own shows more seriously.

Thanks for the links, Trexx. I read the Glenn Beck transcript - it was just fantastic to hear Bill taking up a stance on some of the most severe interior problems modern America's facing nowadays.
And Bill was witty and entertaining as usual - it's always very enjoyable listening to him, watching him, or just reading him.
That Shakespeare lesson he taught Beck was an awesome moment, too.
There's so much going on presently, it's actually difficult to keep up with Bill. |
