That is very unprofessional of him. Inviting a person in then picking up a magazine? Good for you for not answering until he's ready to listen.
My therapist has never done anything like that, but he has puttered around a bit. I also sit politely until he's ready to start, then pointedly look at my watch.
I'm sorry it didn't go well. I often find great sessions follow awful ones, and vice versa. But it's never been so clearly the therapist's fault as reading a magazine.
I really hope he pulls himself together by next session. It really would seem that they should be able to rise to the occasion when you discuss something sensitive.
