Shep Smith... (UPDATED) (UPDATED AGAIN)

Fox News host Shep Smith just can't seem to keep his opinions to himself. Derisive comments about the conservative "he's a socialist!" meme... Openly mocking Glenn Beck on camera... And, his view on Bush/Cheney's 1984-esque torture regime have been featured in this space.

Now, he's dropping the f-bomb on air.


Smith, it appears, isn't as "conservative" as his southern roots and network-of-employ suggest. A good old boy gone bad, I guess. I've got my suspicions about why that may be. (Parenthetically, wouldn't he and Anderson Cooper make a darling couple? Of course, Shep Smith would need to be a 21-year-old and Latino to get Cooper's attention, but...)

UPDATE:

HuffPo reported yesterday that Shep Smith spent a lot of time of the Fox reservation yesterday.

Fox News viewers witnessed a rather incredible scene on Wednesday as anchor Shepard Smith and Fox contributor Judith Miller (of CIA leak infamy) repeatedly and passionately condemned torture, with Smith declaring at one point, "We are America, we don't torture! And the moment that is not the case, I want off the train! This government is of, by, and for the people -- that means it's mine. That means -- I'm not saying what is torture, and what is not torture, but I'm saying, whatever it is, you don't do it for me! I want off the train when the government starts -- I want off, next stop, now!"

He's so gonna lose his job.

UPDATED AGAIN:

Shep Smith didn't drop the f-bomb on air, corrects Yglesias. That first video comes via some obscure online-only show that Faux News produces.
