Beck’s SUV totaled after barrel-rolling down hill

Glenn Beck’s website The Blaze reported on Tuesday that his SUV slid down a hill, barrel-rolled and was totaled over the weekend.

According to the website, Beck had been visiting the Finger Lakes area of Upstate New York for his daughter’s wedding, but the trip didn’t go according to plan.

The conservative radio host said that it was like a scene from the movie “Father of the Bride” when his Ford vehicle, which had been “parked at the top of a hill by his rented cottage, went sliding down a slippery hill and barrel-rolled several times.”

“We‘ve rented this little cottage there on the lake and we’ve just parked this SUV on the hill. Well it had been raining. I didn’t live in California who knew about mudslides,” Beck explained to his listeners on Tuesday. “I open up the door, and my wife says, ‘Help! Help!’”

but didn't want to go through what I knew would follow. Yesterday there was more than enough drama around here.

I'm smack-dab in the middle of them. If that fool was anywhere near me, I need to know - disinfecting needed!

that he hasn't been heard from much this election. Or maybe I've just missed him (thankfully!)

...I'm not saying @glennbeck was drunk, but I am saying that the chance of the ground being that wet is slim.
