The list is after the jump.
Why does Glenn Beck hate grandmothers?
Here's that piece of human-garbage, Beck, verbally abusing former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright just because he doesn't like how old she looks, and how she dresses.
Perhaps the sight of Madeleine Albright gave Beck a Proustian memory of his repressed hatred for his own mother ...
...Ironically, Beck's 41-year-old suicidal drug-addict mother died in 1979 in a tragic boating accident on the very same day, May 15th, that Madeleine Albright turned 42. In other words, when Beck looks at Albright he should realize that his own mother, if she had lived, would be the same age, and would look very similar (if she was lucky; IMO drug addicts frequently age very badly and end up looking 10 or 20 years older than they actually are).
He should also realize that (although his own mother never accomplished anything noteworthy enough to get her name in the history books) the women he's spitting on has a PhD in Political Science, honarary doctorates from several universities, was a member of the National Security Council, was U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, was U.S. Secretary of State, and is currently among other things a professor at Georgetown University and a author of four books.
If I was Mrs. Glenn Beck #2, I would worry that the revulsion that her husband has towards older women, might be an indication that he's on the verge of pulling a John McCain or Newt Gingrich, and that Mrs. Glenn Beck #3 is already in the works.
In other words, the 46-year-old Glenn Beck is probably due for a mid-life crisis and might be contemplating dumping his current wife and family, in order to hookup with a hot 25-year-old heiress with a couple of huge trust funds (like 48-year-old McCain did; McCain got a marriage license to marry wife #2 before he'd even finalized his divorce from wife #1).
Or, maybe Mrs. Glenn Beck #3 is going to be one of the young interns or staffers Beck's got running around his office and who he probably already spends more time with than with his family (like Gingrich did when he dumped wife #2 in order to promote one of his congressional aides to the position of wife #3).
THE SPONSORS LIST
There are three NEW SPONSORs on today's list, Americans For Prosperity, Hydroxatone, and Sepracor. I suspect contacting AFP would be a waste of time, but there's always the possibility they're pissed off at Beck for not showing up in DC for their 9-12-palooza party.
This is the list of sponsors of the Glenn Beck Show of Friday, Oct 9, 2009 which aired on Directv channel 360 on the 101W satellite at 2PM PDT (5PM EDT).
Note: I think it would waste your time contacting sponsors that are striked out. Fox is owned by News Corp, so they're paying themselves for their own air time. And, the Gold Bugs don't give a rat's ass what anyone thinks (they love how Beck terrorizes his own viewers). And any others are blatantly right-wing organizations.

NOTE: In many cases, the contracts the sponsors sign are Run Of Schedule (ROS) contracts. What that means is that they're buying non-specific blocks of air-time and Fox News Channel drops the ads into any open slot. So the sponsor may not even realize their spots are appearing during the Glenn Beck show (they might not even know they're appearing on FNC).
Please tell the sponsor that if they've got a ROS contract with FNC (or their ad agency), that they should ask FNC to modify their ROS contract to specify "No Glenn Beck".
