According to the New York Times, Fox News is contemplating dumping Glenn Beck when his contract is up in December. Yeah sure, Beck has lost about a third of his audience over the past year, but his ratings still beat the competition, so why would Fox part with such a profitable commodity?

Well, according to Josh Marshall at TPM, because even the folks at Fox realize that Beck is fucking crazy...

Basically a lot of chatter to the effect that as great as Beck has been in business terms, there's a pretty total appreciation at Fox corporate at this point that he's completely crazy — as in more than the normal run of Fox News personalities — and that they know that something either really awful or incredibly embarrassing will inevitably happen ... and probably in the pretty near future.

Um... ya think?
