Top 10 Glenn Moments of 2009
It was an amazing year for Glenn Beck & Co, so much so that this may be the first time Glenn had more memorable moments than chins. We've looked over every classic moment from the year and compiled a Top 10 list. The countdown begins today with #10 and #9.
Frog-Gate
The left is always looking to discredit Glenn in any way, shape, or form possible. So when the media reacted with horror after Glenn boiled a fake (yes, fake) frog on TV, it shouldn’t have been a surprise. Glenn was talking about how John McCain would have been ‘worse’ for America as President. Glenn argued that McCain and Obama are both progressives, and would lead us to the same place. Obama has just stomped on the accelerator. To illustrate this point, Glenn used the boiling frog analogy. As the saying goes, if a frog is placed in lukewarm water (McCain), it will stay in as the temperature rises and eventually die. However, if you place a frog in boiling water (Obama), it will immediately jump out. Glenn proceeded to toss a (fake plastic) frog in a pot of boiling water. Glenn clearly explained, on camera, that the frog was a fake. It was plastic. But that didn’t stop the attacks from the left, however. The next day Glenn did a segment showing the lengths the left went to call him a frog killer, and also shows how he pulled the double switch. It was a tremendous segment, and it comes in at #10 on our Top 10 Glenn 2009 countdown.
