Thanks ghosty, somehow I overlooked this topic until just now.

That's back in Glenn Beck's Y95 radio days, when he phoned the wife of a host of a rival morning show days after she had a miscarriage and joked -- [i]live on air[/i]-- "We hear you had a miscarriage! [Your husband] can't do anything right, not even have a baby!"

I've been looking for that clip ever since I heard about it. It's particularly insensitive since Beck's own daughter has cerebral palsy.

If there's one thing I've learned about radio, and I hate to say this but it's true, when you say shit like that you wind up going places with your career. I've seen it happen time and time again, such is the idiocracy we live in.
