CRAZY TALK

While Glenn Beck seems increasingly unhinged of late, the dog days of August are doing wonders for his ratings. According to Nielsen Media Research, the Fox News host attracted 2.8 million viewers Monday, his third-largest audience since his show launched in January, and 2.7 million viewers the next night. The boycott of Beck by major advertisers like Wal-Mart and Sprint (over his remarks that Obama has a "deep-seated hatred of white people") seems to only have stoked his fire. "Even if the powers to be right now succeed in making me poor, drum me out... I will only be stronger for it," he said on the air Wednesday. He has also been helped by a plug from Sarah Palin, who urged people to watch his program in a post on her Facebook page.
