Long term effects of huffing Vapo Rub.

Beck then opened up about the unexplained symptoms that he said have been plaguing him for years. Only those closest to him, including a few colleagues, knew what was happening to Beck — and how to cover it up.

Beck said the mysterious illnesses started to creep up on him some five years ago during his “Restoring Honor” event in Washington, D.C. He suffered vocal cord paralysis, eyesight issues, seizures and severe pain in his limbs. During his broadcast, Beck showed footage of him having an apparent seizure while he was coming out of surgery.

“Most afternoons my hands would start to shake, or my hands and feet began to curl and eventually — if I didn’t stop and rest, I began to curl into a fetal position,” he said. “This has baffled some of the best doctors in the world. It has frightened me and my family, and I didn’t know what was happening.”

Beck said that’s when he started noticing “the first sign of trouble.” He said he started to forget names and faces. He said he would remember having conversations but couldn’t remember when. Then he said he lost them altogether. He calls it his “time collapse.”

It is nice to know he can't figure it out either.

But the most frightening discovery, he said, came in New York about 18 months ago when doctors tested him for traumatic brain injury — and the results were not good.

“I did so poorly on this test the doctors shared the results with my wife and didn’t focus on them with me. I never wanted to see the results,” he said. “I knew I was functioning at about the bottom 10 percent.

A shock-jock operating at 10% of an already diminished intellect, yet the 'Baggers would eat up his drivel as if it were manna from heaven. The GOP sure is lucky to have such an easily manipulable base.

It's why he was so attuned to his audience.

I think this guy is only on the radio because someone like the Koch brothers is paying off Clear Channel or whoever carries his show. I have yet to meet anyone in real life that listens to him.

I was watching a true life crime scene show and the old guy said he always packs his nose with vapor rub ( he has the bad job telling cops to back away from the body because the crime scene is now his ). He seems to be still doing good, sharp minded.

Here is my real life Glenn Beck Vapo Rub reference.

Rubbing that shit all around his sinus, eyes, etc. Of course none of it would go straight to his pea brain.

And they to him, no? It's a symbiosis of cretinism.

I suppose it's cruel to mock the guy. He's probably got ALS or some other neurological nightmare that nobody would wish on anybody. However, when one has been a belligerent asshole all his life, he pretty much deserves every low kick he gets.

He's done great harm. I hope he's done.
