"he slight outraged Beck, who got his revenge with what may rank as one of the cruelest bits in the history of morning radio. "A couple days after Kelly's wife, Terry, had a miscarriage, Beck called her live on the air and says, 'We hear you had a miscarriage,' " remembers Brad Miller, a former Y95 DJ and Clear Channel programmer. "When Terry said, 'Yes,' Beck proceeded to joke about how Bruce [Kelly] apparently can't do anything right -- about he can't even have a baby.""

GB is a recovering alcoholic and has readily admitted his shortcomings prior to attaining sobriety. The 12 Step program is focused on recognizing and removing defects of character.

What sort of character were you in years past? What have you done to improve your character? Have others told you they notice a difference? What is that difference?

Points to ponder for those who accept personal responsibility instead of blaming others.

Just because he admits his short commings in the past it doesn't change a damn thing about his bullshit rhetoric today. thats like a murder saying its ok to murder because they've admitted their crimes

Stttrrreeeeeeeeeeetttttttcccchhhhhhhhhh

Right. But GB isn't saying it's OK to murder _or_ drink to excess.

I'm sorry? What is Step 1? What is Step 2?

That's some pure bullshit you're spreading there pal.

That's not accepting "personal responsibility." That's saying "The devil made me do it."

Gets Flip Wilson a laugh, but everybody knows it's pure bullshit.

THE TWELVE STEPS OF ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS

Quote

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—that our lives had become
unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to
sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we
understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature
of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make
amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do
so would injure them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly
admitted it.
11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with
God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us
and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to
carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our
affairs

I think this might be some of your problem. He is NOT a serious reporter. He is an entertainer.

You've abviously been listening to him. Does that make you a moron? And his 'bullshit rhetoric' is no different than Olbermann's or Limbaugh's. You don't like him so it upsets you to listen. I had a friend named Dick who had that same problem. Don't be a Dick.

Please don't dent the planet.

I'll bet you're a Howard Stern fan huh? WHere's the outrage from some of the stuff he did that makes this look like childsplay?

What were you doing 25 years ago?

FAIL

no sir beck failed and you failed, i've never listened to stern.
Your argument is is pointless, beck is a "serious" news reporter now who is listened to by a bunch of morons.
he catapulted himself to fame by giving low blows to his competitors as in this case were he called his competitor's wife and mocked her miscarriage.

You apparently haven't listened to Beck, either. He is not a "news reporter" as you call him. He is a commentator and entertainer.

By the way, Beck admits to being a first-class A-hole back when he was a drinker. I doubt any of the stuff listed in that blog are going on today.

No, Ron. It's asking for clarification because you've contradicted yourself several times just within this thread.

If something is your personal responsibility, it's just that and not attributable to a "higher power."

If something is a disease, then it's not something giving yourself over to a "higher power" or faith healing will fix.

So I never said it was OK.

Dude, you must really be starved for attention as you seem to stick your nose in every forum and every thread and say some dumb ass shit.

The thread is dumb, it is about an asshat and about a old year old story.

No one is giving him a pass, most all here agree he is an Entertainer who lacks morals and makes up or spins all his "News", it has been hashed out. Your OP is stupid, lacks debatable topic and just a childish attempt at "Inclusion".

My reply was spot on. You made a poor example, and when called on it, You pulled the typical child's behavior of "I know you are but what am I?" But all of your posts and threads are in that same vain.
