The DVR is probably already set, but just a quick reminder: Tonight is the last episode of Glenn Beck on Fox News. Of course Beck's radio show will continue to broadcast his thoughts, so everyone can still get their fill of insanity once his TV show ends later today.
Beck will likely use most of his final show to heap praise upon his BFF Barack Obama, but if there's any time left, he will certainly (once again) address the "lynching" he narrowly escaped on Monday in Bryant Park. That night, Beck claimed New Yorkers who were sitting near him watching the movie were hostile and one person even purposely dumped wine on his wife's back.
While Beck loves getting in the last word, the woman involved in the infamous wine attack has spoken up. Sara Romanoski - welcome to your 15 minutes. Romanoski told the Village Voice that she was the person who spilled the wine, but that it was an accident, and she apologized right away.
"I couldn't see, but it had made a small puddle, behind [Beck's wife.] I felt awful about spilling wine onto the American flag -- in front of Glenn Beck! I immediately offered my profuse apologies," said Romanoski. "My friend said he thought a little got on [Beck's wife's] pants, but it didn't seem like anything serious and it certainly didn't soak her."
That's certainly not the tragedy that Beck described, but he's probably saving all the facts for tonight's finale. But, first, courtesy Media Matters, here are his greatest hits:
