34. I've been thinking about Downey for years... Expecting Beck to
show up with a backwards swastika on his fat head. I predict his career-ending flame out will be equally bizarre (and can't come quickly enough).

... the suicide note will be written as a death notice. However, I suspect he'll royally fuck it up.

46. His ratings will fall because they've found someone even more extreme
There's a KKK News Hour show on selected local cable tv outlets--they'll get the two people who host it onto national television, and Beck's days will be numbered.

49. Murder/suicide. Glenn Beck is so evil he would want to take a few more souls with him. I suspect

it'll probably be his wife and family. Probably some of his handlers too. It'll be some kind of bizarre cult thing.

64. Doing drugs while with a hooker.
For years, the man had a serious drinking and coke problem, and instead of going to rehab or AA, he found Jesus.

The only thing between him and taking a serious bender a'la Chris Farley is that Beck's been keeping himself so busy with both TV and radio shows and talking to the people who write his books, he simply doesn't have the time.

Maybe if Rush had a TV show too, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to get hooked on Oxy.

But all Beck needs is some time to kill, some "fan" get get alone with him, someone who can get his drugs and you have the recipe for a Robert Downey Jr. photo op.
