Controversial pundit Glenn Beck’s car rolls, flips and is totaled at his daughter’s wedding

Glenn Beck totaled his jeep - boo hoo

Glenn Beck is lucky to be alive and unharmed after a freak accident occured at his daughter’s wedding last weekend.

While in Finger Lakes, NY for his daughter’s nuptials, Glenn Beck escaped what could have been a tragedy. Having parked his rental SUV on a rain-soaked hill, the car slid down the hill and flipped before landing, totaled.

Beck confirmed the mishap on his Twitter: “So my rental car got totalled this weekend...at my daughter's wedding.”

On Tuesday, Beck elaborated on his radio show: “'I see my wife dressed in her evening gown from the wedding, and she’s holding on to the door handle of the car as the car is starting to slide down the hill, and I just said "Let it go honey." And the car rolled down the hill, and rolled.  And flipped.”

“I honestly said to the kids, ‘Well let’s go say our prayers, and go to bed,’” said Beck. “It was just one of those days. I watched my car roll down the hill, literally roll.”

Beck went on to praise a member of his security team who jumped into the car, fearing that Beck’s son was still in the back seat: “[He] Got into the front of the car, looked behind him to see if my son was in the back seat... As the car was rolling down, he jumped out of the car just as it started to roll.”

“It was like an action movie.”

Glenn Beck builds his own White House Oval Office -- Still blurring the line between fiction and reality after Fox News

Glenn Beck Oval Office

For conservative pundit Glenn Beck blurring the line between reality and fiction has often been an irresistible compulsion. 

That's why some eyebrows were raised when he posted surprising pictures of himself sitting at what appeared to be the presidents desk in the Oval Office this weekend.

Few doubt that Beck would like to inhabit that office for real, but the just released photos which appear on glennbeck.com actually remind you that it will always be a pipe dream for the pint sized pundit.

Beck has built an exact replica of the Oval Office for GBTV, a spokesperson said - hoping that the controversy may sell new subscriptions to the Beck owned and operated site.

According to the Huffington Post Beck is planning a series of weekly speeches about 'the things we wish the President would say to the American people – or the things he should say.'

The speeches will be three to four minutes long, and will take viewers back to the early 1980's with their 'Reagan-esque' tone, sources say. The first one is scheduled for this Wednesday - and some snarky observers are hoping to catch a glimpse of Marty McFly's DeLorean in the background.

Beck has long been a fan of golden oldie style Oval Office addresses. Last March he assembled a hasty approximation of the Oval Office in his studio to blast President Obama's response to the Japanese earthquake, in the hope of twinning it with President George W. Bush's desultory response to Hurricane Katrina. The speech failed to gain the traction he had hoped for, however.

Glenn Beck in tears

During an interview with Katie Lee Gifford for the ‘Today’ show, Glenn Beck showed a different side of his typically “fiery” self and broke down and began to cry when discussing his encounters with abuse and a difficult family history.

“I’m much more than a cartoon character,” Beck said at the start of the interview before it turned more emotional. During the chat, Beck speaks of his new fictional book “The Snow Angel,” which he says is inspired by the abuse he endured as a child.

“My father told me - and great, now the Today show is going to make fun of me again [chuckling] - abuse is generational” said a choked-up Beck.

Later in the interview, Beck offers his insight on the recent Occupy Wall Street protests.

“I wouldn’t want to be my kids, I wouldn’t want to be my wife,” says Beck at the close of his interview, in reference to how the public perceives him. After leaving his show on FOX, Beck has since created his own online-subscription service Glenn Beck Television, otherwise known as “GBTV.”
