In sad, albeit not particularly surprising news, frequent Red Eye correspondent&mdash Rachel Marsden, (best known as Canada's answer to Ann Coulter) has announced that she will be parting ways from Greg Gutfield's semi-popular late night gabfest.

Below, is Marsden's blog entry announcing her departure, which in no way acknowledges reports that security "hastily escorted" her out of Fox News Channel's midtown headquarters earlier this week.

May 30/07: A note to inquiring Red Eye viewers: I will no longer be appearing on the show, as I have been told that it is heading in a "different direction" from its inception, and I am the "first casualty". As a political and news commentator, being a panelist on what had become a totally off-the-wall-and-into-orbit show was an interesting experience. It was also the first time that I was ever considered the "sane one" on any program, so I am grateful for that unique opportunity and wish the boys the very best of luck.

In other words, "they fired my ass." Which sounds much more direct, somehow! Note to Rachel: As a general rule, anyone who feels the need to brag about being "the sane one" on the show is probably slightly crazypants.

Oh, and also a sign that you're not the "sane" one? Doing something that warrants your being escorted out in the middle of the afternoon by two burly, non-smiling security guards.

Or having a criminal record for stalking people.
