This year the celebrity obsessed media adopted one of their own to lead the Republican Party to a humiliating defeat next November. Donald Trump’s rapid rise on the basis of his fear mongering and bigotry drove much of the press for most of the year. However, we would be remiss to forget the previous press darlings and their ultimately doleful fate.<\/p>\n

\"Glenn
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s right. In September of 2015 Glenn Beck called it quits<\/a> with Sarah Palin after some undisclosed messiness. He revealed the break-up on his radio show (video below) the day after he appeared at a rally with her in Washington, D.C. This is what he told his shocked listeners:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t care what Sarah Palin says any more. Sarah Palin has become a clown. I\u2019m embarrassed that I was once for Sarah Palin. Honestly, I\u2019m embarrassed.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, now he knows how most of the rest of the country feels about having Palin presume to speak for us. But it\u2019s still ironic that the man who describes himself as a \u201crodeo clown\u201d<\/em> is suddenly seeing Palin in similarly derogatory terms. At least he still has his conspiracy theories and Messiah complex.<\/p>\n

This has been a bad year for Palin. She lost her job at Fox News<\/a> for the second time. She started up a sham Internet video channel<\/a> that was so unpopular that it shut down just six months later<\/a>. Her abstinence-advocate daughter had her second out-of-wedlock child. She just put her Arizona vacation home up for sale. And on top of all of that she lost her best bud, Glenn. So sad.<\/p>\n

Today both Palin and Beck have faded into ghostly presences that haunt the shadows of the fringe world. Although maybe zombies would be a better metaphor since they are both desperately in need of brains. Their disappearance is unarguably a good thing for America, but a serious blow to comedy.<\/p>\n
