Last Rites for Glenn Beck?

A total of 57 advertisers have asked that their commercials not be aired during his show.

And of course, there are those completely unsubstantiated rumors- utterly baseless, really- that Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990. Oddly, however, Beck has not denied these allegations, nor have extensive web searches by bloggers uncovered any police reports stating that he did not commit these acts.

I hope we can clear these questions up. I'm sure he's just an ordinary man who happens to have a deep-seated hatred for consensual sex. I'm not saying he hates consensual sex, just that he hates consensual sex.
