In case you haven't heard, FOX "News" is dumping its one-time media darling, (

Let me be the first here to bid Glenn happy trails by saying: Fuck you, Glenn Beck. While not sorry to see you go, you did make television interesting--in a sad, horrible, circus-like way through a shameless exhibition of asinine rhetoric and irresponsible ramblings all contrived to keep the yokels slapping their knees, and the truly insane frothing at the mouth. Your contributions in making this country a more sinister and obnoxious place are immeasurable, and unforgivable. All I hope for you in the future, after these past years of profiteering from the venom you spewed through tears, is festering anal cancer. Get bent and do me a favor, kick your mom in the cunt really hard.

Eh, not like it matters. The guy is so famous and revered at this point he's going to have a comfortable life spouting his bullshit on various TV shows and autobiographies.

No really, does someone really watch FOX news?:eek:

He's a pretty good example of the modern debate process, which goes something like:
1: Say your opponent is either stupid or evil
2: Assume that you are much smarter or more virtuous than your opponent.
3: Disagree with your opponent, therefore "proving" your hypothesis that you are smarter/nicer than them.

An asshole, yes. But he's far from being an idiot.

Good catch. I just don't watch Fox News network enough to notice stuff like that, and if I do I'm generally not paying attention.
We would be better off just renaming FOX and MSNBC to the RNN and DNN, respectively.
