Preemptive disclaimer: Regarding HUME's alleged extra-marital life:: No, we don't care about THAT, we care about the HYPOCRISY (as in so many related topics).
As for the 3rd item, just the headline is delicious:

Axed Fox Newser Behind Brit Hume Affair Rumor
.... To be sure, in promoting the rumor of a Hume-Kendall tryst, Schur had help from reality. Hume's wife of 13 years, Kim Schiller Hume, headed the Washington bureau until recently; a report in the New York Daily News suggested that marital tensions had played a large role in her departure. Kendall, meanwhile, is recently divorced. As of today, in fact, she is reverting to her maiden name, Megyn Kelly, for on-air use.
Moreover, getting involved with an underling is virtually par for the course for Fox higher-ups. Rupert Murdoch, chairman of FNC parent News Corp., embarked on an affair with his current wife, Wendi Deng, when she was an employee of the Star TV affiliate, and married her in 1999. Roger Ailes, now chairman of Fox Television Stations, divorced his second wife, Norma, in 1995 and went onto marry his current wife, Beth Tilson, who had been his second-in-command at America's Talking. And star pundit Bill O'Reilly famously described elaborate sexual fantasies over the phone to one of his producers, Andrea Mackris, leading to a harassment allegations and a settlement of undisclosed size (reportedly around $2 million).
Then again, the fact of an extramarital relationship would sit uncomfortably with many of Hume's past pronouncements. Hume launched Special Report in 1998 to capitalize on the then-unfolding Monica Lewinsky scandal, and he frequently criticized President Clinton's conduct. ....
As for Kendall, it's safe to say that if she has unprofessional feelings to conceal, she's not doing a very good job of it. When, in a July interview with FishbowlDC, she was asked to name her favorite working journalist, she said, "Brit Hume. The man truly knows everything about everything."
Later, in the same Q&A, Kendall was asked which of the seven deadly sins she most resembled. She answered, "Lust."

Bad news: Pat Robertson is predicting "mass killing" this year, according to the New York Daily News. (Maybe he, too, caught wind of Bush's plan to call for "sacrifice.")... ....
Before you bow down, remember that this isn't Robertson's first prediction. After the jump, some samples of the good preacher's often-blurry visions....
• 2006: "If I heard the Lord right about 2006, the coasts of America will be lashed by storms."
• 2005: "The Lord has some very encouraging news for George Bush.... Bush is now positioned to have victory after victory and his second term is going to be one of triumph.... He will also have Social Security reform passed, that he will have tax reform passed, that he'll have conservative judges on the courts, and that basically he is positioned for a series of dramatic victories."
• 2004: "I think George Bush is going to win in a walk.... I really believe I'm hearing from the Lord it's going to be like a blowout election in 2004. It's shaping up that way.... The Lord has just blessed him."
