With his presidential aspirations dashed, Rick Santorum has started writing for the birther friendly site World Net Daily. One commenter wonders if Fox News thought Santorum was too fringe friendly for their famously fair and balanced approach. jane3579 writes:

Poor Rick. He must have been too crazy to be a contributor to Fox news.

Fox News executives probably just didn't want to sully the name of a network that has brought us totally sane personalities like Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, and Michelle Malkin.
