Maybe Huckabee and Pat Buchanan should have a show together.

I was going to say something but it was a suggestion of comic slapstick violence.

re: #1 Charles,

That'd be a ratings disaster. I can't understand why Fox wants either of them as commentators. Surely they could do better at the local homeless shelter.

But the good news is...

(Maybe) That means he has no chance of being McCain's running mate!

He's just there because of his good looks.

/s

this guy is like a turd in a clogged toilet...just when you think you've seen the last of it, it floats back to the surface. jimmy carter & ron paul are in the same toilet too. as ferris bueller said at the end of his movie..."go home already, it's over"

Huckabee's is one opinion I don't really need to hear.

So is Fox working on becoming the "Inside Editon" and "Current Affair" network?

The extremes are madness.

Tim Russert dead per Drudge/NYP......rest in peace.

Hey Huckabee, religion should be a private matter, or at least a quiet one.

re: #1 Charles

Maybe Huckabee and Pat Buchanan should have a show together.

And call it "Dumb and Dumber".

Can Huckabee be any part of fair and balanced?

re: #8 Kragar (Proud to be Kafir)

So is Fox working on becoming the "Inside Editon" and "Current Affair" network?

Only if they do a segment on a Japanese reality show called Celebrity Wake Up Call.

re: #4 littleoldlady

I pry so. That man is as narcissistic as Obama. He just covers his Marxism with Christianity. With Buchanan and Huckabee I don't think I will ever watch Fox News again!

re: #10 mantas

whoa! only 58. thats sad.

That's a shame. I used to really like him and watched his show untill 2000 election.

Ugh! Now I'm even more glad I gave up on fox years ago.

Tim Russert, RIP .

What happened to John Gibson at 5 pm? Without him that leaves me watching Brit Hume on Fox. PERIOD.

Ick! FOX has no taste.

Increasingly unbalanced.

400 Taliban escape prison in Afghanistan, Fox now. Prison was attacked by Taliban who freed prisoners.

And his credentials as a political commentator are what exactly?

Oh gosh. It's unfair to Huckabee to put him in the same boat as Buchanan, IMHO. I don't watch Fox or CNN (or any of the others) anyway, so good on Huckabee, I guess. It's not like he's Keith Olbermann or something.

re: #1 Charles

Maybe Huckabee and Pat Buchanan should have a show together.

Oh, spit, Charles. I just spewed my keyboard and tea is draining on the floor.

Please, please not those 2 together or even in the same month!

Great. Just great. Happy hunting, Reapers.

re: #26 littleoldlady

John Gibson has his own radio show on Fox Radio now, its on 3-6pm Eastern Time. They canceled his show to make way for Election HQ. I'm with you that just leaves me watching Brit Hume show which me and my dad enjoy.

Can I say it?
I didn't like the look of Huckabee.
I never went past his "look" and into his politics.
What bit of his politics I became aware of, I thought was sheer BS.
Which only reinforced my aversion to his "look".

I find myself flicking past Fox more and more.

Brit Hume and Red Eye are about the only things worth tuning into on Fox now, in my opinion.

re: #36 Salem

Same here. It used to be so good, once upon a time, long ago.

Huckabee is a major league asshat whose sole appeal is that he is fast on his feet with the jokes. Maybe Huckabee can do a song and dance with Chuck Norris's hair piece.

re: #37 Capitalist Tool

Recent developments seem to suggest a new policy is now operative as regards the difficulty of capturing, housing and feeding prisoners. I am not aware of any cases where the ACLU has successfully brought a corpse to court. Looks like this ruling by the Supremes may turn out to be a real money saver. One would hope that not to many Al Qaida drown while attempting to surrender.

re: #42 NY Nana

Same here. It used to be so good, once upon a time, long ago.

The only reason to even watch Fox any more is Britt Hume, Julie Banderas (eye candy for guys like me), and the segmments on O'Reilly when Dennis Miller and Bernie Goldberg are on.

How most people in the world today think:

"What would we do if we applied good taste, good judgment, reason, and common sense? Let's not do that."

re: #44 gymnast

zackly.

Great....Gomer Pyle goes to Foxx.
He had his 15 minutes and is pushing for 15 more. He can't give up his sense of fame. Stupid ego working overtime.

Isn't Buchanan a regular on MSNBC and appeared on Fox just to promote his shitty book?

re: #42 NY Nana

Same here. It used to be so good, once upon a time, long ago.

Even back then they had Shlep-hard Smith, though. He hasn't improved with age.

I've been watching very little Fox News lately. This is not going to lure me back.

Couple of weeks ago, there was this dazzling plastic gem:

"I'm a vomitorium, here!"

I'm not sure what he was trying to say--maybe that he was bewildered or nauseated or whatever--but I'd take him as a receptacle for spew sooner than an anchor on the only decent news network.

Problem being that if Obama gets elected, plan on seeing lots of "war crimes" trials for military pilots and artillery troops. Or just plan on never reading about another Predator or Reaper taking out a hive of terrorists because the pilots know that they will be on trial if the bastards were smart enough to bring their kids to their jihad confab.

44 gymnast... haha. Like the man that committed suicide with 22 stab wounds in the back. I too, wonder if prisoners stay over there in NATO camps.
It is so amusing that the Supremes and the donks want to use EUrope as a paradigm for our laws.
There is no Miranda rights there and I think arrestees can get pretty beaten up over there before the "voluntary confessions'. There is no comparison so what are these twits saying?

re: #56 Salem

Shepard Smith thinks that those of us who are skeptics regarding global warming are crazy. I wish that Fox would give John Gibson his show back.

I never thought Shep was so bad...maybe too made-up but hey--it is personal with him

Pretty good outside of the nagging fear of an Obama Preisdency. How are you doing?

re: #59 Joel

Shepard Smith thinks that those of us who are skeptics regarding global warming are crazy. I wish that Fox would give John Gibson his show back.

I liked Gibson, but they were pushing a lot of tabloid stuff on him toward the end. It was turning into the Britney Hour.

At least I hope it was being pushed on him. He didn't seem the type to find gossip that interesting.

Outside of Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Dan Abrams is there a more annoying person on cable TV then Shepard Smith?

Oh yea. Greta Van Sustern? Sean Hannity? Alan Colmes? Completely unwatchable. Bill O'Reilly is beginning to annoy me. I watch Brit Hume and then some O'Reilly but I have to surf around to avoid getting nauseated. On weekends the Belway Boys and Media Watch are tolerable. Otherwise it's re-runs of Law and Order and NCIS for me.

re: #60 big L

Shepard Smith comes across (with that voice which is too big for his body) and his frenetic way of talking as if it is 11:00 AM and he is on his 5th cup of coffee. HE also looks like he spends way too much time at the tanning salon.

Smith is an idiot....and he looks like he has been Botoxed at least 5 times too often.

You can add the Machiavelli wannabe Dick Morris to that picture. No wonder I am taking to watching 46 - 49 year old episodes of The Twilight Zone these day.

re: #69 kansas

Finally. A cohort.

after watching Hannity tongue bathe the Old Fascist Pat Buchanan twice in the past two weeks I have come to the conclusion he is a jackass as well.

The only positive thing I can say about hiring Huckabee is that it's not as bad as hiring Geraldo - or Colmes.

re: #77 Joel

after watching Hannity tongue bathe the Old Fascist Pat Buchanan twice in the past two weeks I have come to the conclusion he is a jackass as well.

Oh, thanks for the visual. My eyes! My eyes!
Ever try listening to Hannity? It's awful as well.

re: #75 rwmofo

Have you ever heard of Julie Banderas or Megyn Kelly?

Julie Banderas is a real dish (along with Kirsten Powers who appears a lot on O'Reilly and Hannity & Colmes). I loved Juliet Huddey when she hosted the weekend Fox & Friends but shemoved onto the local Fox New Channel to co-host Mornings With Mike & Juliet.

It was nice seeing Rudy and especially Daniel Pipes on H&C a couple of times lately but that still doesn't offset the Pat Puke-cannon stench.

Bad news about the Huckster too.

I used to think Hannity was cute but now I see him cozying up to Buchanan he looks much less so!

re: #64 Joel

He also has a piss-poor command of the language and poor conceptual skills. And he gets inappropriately passionate at some times and reeks of insincerity at other times. I guess he has his moments, but I scarcely tolerate him long enough to notice, anymore. Sometimes it's kind of fun when he tears into someone, but it has to be someone much stupider than him to really work. And since he's an anchor and not an effective commentator, I suppose he shouldn't be tearing into guests at all.

Doesn't the man have a State to run?

re: #79 kansas

Oh, thanks for the visual. My eyes! My eyes!

I haven't heard Hannity on the radio in years. I like listening to Tammy Bruce (another one of the decent Fox contributors) on Internet radio.
I refer to Alan Colmes as the feret faced liberal Jew who likes to get into the Lewinsky position in front of all the worlds anti Semites. I confess to enjoying occassonally Ann Coulter when she shows up on O'Reilly and Hannity & Colmes.

So, we lose Tim Russert and gain Huckleberry. We are in media hell.

Huck, ick!

Sorry, the man was a keynote speaker at an anti-mormon convention held in Salt Lake. Not a fan.

Oh, the Fox chicks are nice, too. Some of them are kind of border on moonbattery, but look nice just the same. Shlep always looks like he's trying to put the audience into a trance.

re: #83 Salem

Having to watch Shepard Smith coming right after Brit Hume is akin to looking at Rosie O'Donnell after seeing Catherine Zeta-Jones. Smith is a total jerk.

I didn't know Colmes is Jewish.

re: #91 Toasty

I didn't know Colmes is Jewish.

Yes he is (alas). The very image of a liberal Jew who is so open minded that he won';t even take his own side in a fight. Actually his religion is Liberalism.

he should have a cooking show. he sure knows his way around a pop corn popper.

He doesn't have a Jewish name so it didn't occur to me to think of it.

Every time Huckabee speaks on a news program I get an uneasy feeling that I'm watching someone who is just working on his private-for-pay speaking career.

re: #91 Toasty

I once saw Netanyahu put Colmes down, Colmes said (during the Lebanon War) "The other day there was 1,500 people in an anti war demonstration in Tel Aviv" and Netanyahu replied "Really Alan, I must have missed it, did they hold it in a phone booth"?

I am also finding Ollie North to be annoying and don't even get me started on Geraldo Rivera.

re: #88 tfc3rid

He's a former gov...

Ah. . .then let him do whatever he wants.

I think being a "pundit" makes him less likely to be President in the future, not more so, so that's fine with me.

I'm not going to be watching him.

Yeah, better not mention Rivera.

re: #82 Toasty

I used to think Hannity was cute but now I see him cozying up to Buchanan he looks much less so!

He also referred to him (Buchanan) as "brother". Memo to Hannity - Pat Buchenwald is not a conservative or a Republican.

with huckabee i am totally indefferent, could careless if he is on a show or not. not sure it is far to think of these two in the same though.

NOW I CAN'T STAND PAT PUKEANAN my dislike of him gets close to my dislike of naom chomskey, ward chirchill et al.

re: #74 kansas

Not to be cruel, but Morris looks like he is one Krispy Kreme away from his own heart attack.

Tammy Bruce said the other day something to the effect "Dick Morris does not look like he has missed too many meals lately."

at least North is pro military. they have to have people like rivera on so they can say the have different points of view could be worse than rivera and cholems they might have someone with real knowage and power who is a liberal.

re: #85 Joel

Fox should ask us who is good and who is not. Ann Coulter is completely hilarious, but I like reading her site and weekly column. Laura Ingraham is infinitely watchable. And I actually bought and read a Tammy Bruce book. She too is both most watchable and listenable.

I thought Alan Clomes was a Jino(Jew In Name Only).

re: #68 greygandalf

And if your enemy knows that and doesn't care, where does that leave you? Think about a band of taliban with children in their midst launching a rifle and RPG attack on a coalition force. What are the coalition forces supposed to do in that situation?

re: #101 yochanan

I agree, yochanan. I'm no Huckabee fan, but it's not fair to equate the two at all.

I do wish Fox would try to get some better personnel.

Godwin's Law /prov./ [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups

remember when you use the terms COMMUNIST, STALINIST, NAZI OR FASCIST that the person refered to should be a real one. Other wise read Godwin's law.

I thought Alan Clomes was a Jino(Jew In Name Only).

He is a mealy mouthed,smirking , cowardly, frightened little man. The type who in school would try to make nice with the guys who extorted lunch money from him.

I always found Hannity more attractive than Brit Hume, he looks like you want to give him a hug... but that is before all this Buchanan stuff came out.

He's like one of the Mugwumps from Naked Lunch.

re: #94 Toasty

He doesn't have a Jewish name so it didn't occur to me to think of it.

Funny, in the disparaging entry in the KOS Encylopedia, his being Jewish is a big deal.

Copied using the Google Web cache feature:

Alan Colmes
From dKosopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Alan Colmes is the suspiciously weak and ineffective "liberal" foil to Sean Hannity on Fox News. Before he was hired by Fox News, the open spot he filled was labeled as "LTBD" or "Liberal To Be Determined." Worse than a milquetoast, Colmes serves as the liberal Stepin Fetchit for Fox. He is a figure almost masochistic in his willingness to give ground in arguments to conservative guests by providing strawman arguments. It is also highly suspicious that Fauxnews picked a Secular Jew to fill the role of a liberal.

Colmes also hosts a late night radio program The Alan Colmes Show.

re: #121 Joel

Would that require one to actually watch "The View"? Sorry. I've tried. No can do again.

Joel and all. Thanks for the lively discussion. Gonna head out in time for Brit Hume now.

I think Huckabee having a media job is good ---- it ought to rule him out for McCain's VP slot.

re: #136 Joel

The only reason why I do not want O'Reilly to lose viewers is that I want him to cream Keith Olbermann in the ratings.

That is a conundrum. Of course, in the wider media Olbermann gets treated like it's the other way around anyway, so I'm not sure it's worth suffering through the windy screeds of dwindling pseudo-intellectual O'Reilly.

re: #72 Joel

Newsradio880 had a bulletin, and I couldn't believe what I heard. The irony of even mentioning Smith and Tim Russert in the same breath?

Smith is nothing more than a bad joke.

58 years old? Tim Russert died way too young, and the Dad he so adored is 88...Fathers Day for Tim Russert's son and Dad, and his wife? I cannot even imagine.

He is a shanda.

re: #11 Ojoe

Yeah, but I would still like to see the debate between the Huckster and the False Prophet of Hope. There is one theological question that the Huckster would have the "gravitas" to ask the Obamanation, and I want it answered.

re: #148 Bosk

re: #160 Joel

HE is a shanda. He will always take the side of Hamas and Hezbollah over Israel. Watching Julie Banderas right now on Fox (she is a fox) - she is smoking hot!
Tim Russert and Chris Wallace were/are the two best interviewers on TV.
Tim Russert - May God Receive Him Into His Glory!

Totally agree on all counts. What impresses me is how unlike his father Chris Wallace is.

May Tim Russert rest in peace. He is irreplaceable, and with todays' crop of 'journalists', there are but a precious few we can say that about.

re: #161 Joel

re: #163 NY Nana

Fair enough. Supporting Hamas and Hiz'b'amalek is enough to brand him a shonda. Just being a lib however isn't (to me)

I just like to temper myself and ensure that I am not branding people for just being liberal, or just having legitamate disagreements with Israel. I don't listen to Colmes so I am having to base my opinion of hom on what you tell me. This is why I needed specificity.

re: #165 NY Nana

Chris Wallace is a complete professional. Mike Wallace is an Israel slanderer. Off to dinner in a minute.

Speaking of Shandas.....on the way to work today I got the opportunity to listen to Norman Finklestein discuss "al Naqba" on Pacifica Radio. They always run the most vile (and this is on a very leftists/socialist/marxist disgusting station mind you..so when I say "vile" i mean vile for them which is worse than normal "vile".) anti-Israel/Anti-Semitic programs when they are having a fund-drive.

re: #166 WrathofG-d

Kirsten Powers is a lib (besides being beautiful) but she is not an ideologue. Colmes is. In 2002 an d2006 he showed his true colors.

I think I would rather listen to Keith Olbermann then the Fink. The Naqba as far as I am concerned was the Fink's birth and his once teaching at my alma mater Hunter College.

re: #166 WrathofG-d

Joel also affirms what he is. I was sitting here within the past few weeks, listening to him excuse terrorists...and what I was saying I will leave up to your imagination.

BTW, when I was younger, I was also a liberal..and my kids all are. You can just imagine how peaceful our family gatherings are.

re: #178 Lizard by the Bay

Not only brains, but the ability to reason.

So, any ideas on why Huck stays popular with the media?
Here's a few theories to start off:

1) Everyone loves to gawk at disasters
2) Some bozo in medialand thinks Huck has the entire
Christian Right in his back pocket.
3) It's probably Bush's fault.

I only watch select portions of TV. Like I'll TiVO a show
if I know someone I respect is going to be on it. Then
I'll FF to that spot, watch, then delete. So is Fox
feeling a slipping in viewership because of folks like me?

Yea I was driving. I listen to Pacific and Air America. Most of the time I can stand it, (like to hear the different opinions and all) but sometimes it just dang upsets me as they lie, spin, etc., and I cannot do anything about it.

As for being a lib....I was a practically a socialist in College. Then I was liberal before that......then I got a job.

re: #172 Lizard by the Bay

Although crudly, you hit the nail on the head 100%. They know what it takes to get the cash rolling in & it is really sad that its Jew hatred and conspiracies. The speech was from Norm's talk at UCI this year. I didn't listen long this morning.

I highly suggest everyone listen to Pacifica Radio once in a while to fully understand the Gov Obam'uh is going to usher in for us.

re: #184 NY Nana

A L'chaim to 1972!

Yeah I look back to those early years of the 1970's very fondly - both my parents were alive, I was a lot thinner, had a lot more hair, did not worrry about money, and was not slapped around by life that much.

re: #183 Joel

That is a strong probability, Joel. If I could think less of the man, that would be another reason: he plays up to that caricature.

{ Assume the usual emoticons. I'm Harmless. }

Huckabee is a member of the religious right, part of a large group of Democrats that came over in the last thirty years. Of course he's going to be more left-minded, that was the original stance of the Southern religious community, and they're still heavily affected by their roots. Many of the socially conservative people in the group are still on the left in terms of fiscal and economic policy.

I laugh, because he is what the lefties used to be.

Huckabee is also a creationist, by the way.

As is Bobby Jindal.

re: #106 AZfederalist

And if your enemy knows that and doesn't care, where does that leave you? Think about a band of taliban with children in their midst launching a rifle and RPG attack on a coalition force. What are the coalition forces supposed to do in that situation?

/that's not a stretch by any stretch of the imagination. If the Taliban thought that they could use the children for this purpose and to their benefit, they would

Not just would. Have. Google MARSOC Afghanistan investigation

re: #191 Charles

As is Bobby Jindal.

Yes...as a pro-choice, agnostic on gay marriage, biochemist and military wife, I've had to overlook a lot of creationist nonsense in politicians that I supported...GW Bush among them.

I'd still rather have Jindal than Obama, or Sebelius, or any of the lib bunch.

Oh, good. Now I can better schedule my nap-time.

re: #190 Charles

Huckabee is also a creationist, by the way.

As to that, Charles, two kinds of creationists seem to exist (heh, besides all the others). One is the Dennis Prager kind, who believe it is impossible for science and theology to be incompatible--where essentially, science is the search for the theological truth as well as the basic facts. The other kind are the "King James Version" creationists, who believe much of science is a lie.

[Yes that last bit was a huge slander, if you are a staunch KJV type. I invite such friends to take it less slanderously, and consider that I am using a very rough shorthand. Creationism and Intelligent Design are complex concepts, but the distrust of mainstream science is pretty solidly part of the literature.]

Governor Huckabee is a better spokesman for the latter type of Creationism, IMO. This adds to the caricaturish flavor.

Yeah, nothing worse than a person that believes the Bible might be true.

Go ahead and believe anything you like. No one is stopping you. The problem with creationists is that they're trying to corrupt science education in the US, with religious teaching disguised as science.

And if you thought better of LGF because you believed I was in favor of anti-science religious agendas being deceptively promoted by fanatics, I guess you were wrong.

re: #129 Salem

I wonder if all of these surreal broadcasting decisions lately could be having an impact on Fox's ratings? If O'Reilly hasn't lost a lot of viewers lately, I'd be very surprised.

I was thinking they've already lost viewers, and this is their cockamamie idea of luring the religious right back to FOX.

I gave up on fox a couple years ago, and ever since- I haven't missed them much. What's more- they keep giving me reasons as to why I should stick by that decision.

No, Charles, I've never thought you were a supporter of Intelligent Design in the classroom. I did think this was a place where people of different views could reasonably discuss issues without trashing everyone that doesn't toe the libertine secularist agenda 100%.

Gotta go. BSA BOR.

re: #1 Charles

Maybe Huckabee and Pat Buchanan should have a show together.

LOL Please, man! I do enough screaming at my TV as it is!

This story is in such sharp contrast to the passing of Tim Russert. There simply are no real journalists left. Is that the reason Huckabee got the job? I mean look at Buchanan. He's everywhere. And TV media ponders why people get the bulk of their news from the net. (Or did someone ponder that upthread). In fact, I only watch TV news on Sunday morning and Meet the Press started it off. I'm so saddened to hear of Russert's passing. Who's left? Huckabee? yeesh

Thank you! I've always believed there had to be some diversity in Lizardia. We agree on so much, so let's be careful no to hound some of us because we might be creationist or we might actually have campaigned for Huckabee. Would some of us be at risk of being banned because we are Huckabee Republicans or creationist? I hope not.

No one is going to be banned over this, unless they freak out and lose it.

But neither am I going to stand by and let my site be used to promote creationism.

I would not expect you to, Charles! I've enjoyed the way we have all come together with the goals of loving, defending our country and acting as a watchdog against those who would destroy us and our way of life. What we believe about how the world began has nothing to do with those goals.

Thank you for providing this platform for debate, information and investigation!

re: #203 gaw

I don't think we need to conflate "belief in the Bible" with Creationism. It's mostly among fundamentalists where you find those who exclude mainstream science, not among the majority of Christian thinkers. Does that mean the non-fundamentalists do not believe in the Bible?

It's true that "evolution" is very poorly understood by those who do not follow science closely, and it is often misrepresented. Unfortunately, typical Creationist publications base much of their polemic on those misrepresentations. In fairness to the Creationists, Creationism is also poorly understood by those who don't study it as an idea. Among many anti-Creationist activists, that poor understanding leads to weakness in their arguments.

As with many competing ideas, the truth is avoided by the most zealous of both camps. The two concepts are not as antithetical as many make them seem.

I disagree, strongly. I've read a lot on this subject, and there is very little misunderstanding among scientists about the intelligent design hoax.

On the creationist side, and especially on the part of the dishonest Discovery Institute, there is nothing BUT misunderstanding, and deception.

I hope that turns out to be not true. I have a friend who lives in Shreveport La. and she says that he is really trying to get rid of the long established corruption of that state. If Jindal can clean up La. and believes in strong aggressive non Condi Rice foreign policy and economic positions, I think he would be a strong candidate. Please , no Jeb Bush establishment candidates in 2012. After the Bob Dole, George HW Bush, George W. Bush and (I fear) McCain disasters, we need a credible candidate. I read where Eric Cantor might be McCain's V.P. pick. The GOOP needs to get younger.

re: #217 Joel

I hope that turns out to be not true.

Unfortunately, it is. Here's an article written by Jindal at the New Oxford Review that leaves absolutely no doubt.

[Link: www.newoxfordreview.org...]

Huckabee is also an open borders kind of guy. He did though once say soemthing that I thought was clever and true regarding the Palestinians in one of those debates (to the effect) "I support a Palestinian state, in Saudi Arabia". I heard that Bush is still pushing for a PLO state, in a way I can't wait for him to vacate the Presidency.

When I've seen Jindal speak I was impressed by his directness and seeming good sense. Learning that he was a creationist was a serious disappointment.

Maybe Hillary and Bill will sabotage Obama this November. My faith in McCain gets smaller and smaller every day. I think the guy wants to lose a close race and to do so gracefully. The other side wants to do (in the words of Al Davis) "Just win baby!"

You know Charles, I still think that my former Mayor, Rudolf Giuliani would have made the best candidate (despite the lousy campaign he ran). He would have put a lot of blue states in play. Too many fools could nto get over the fact that he was pro choice - as if the POTUS is a monarch who could outlaw abortion by fiat.

I completely agree. I don't think it's a secret that I was a Giuliani supporter, and when he dropped out I got a very bad feeling about this election.

Geez, if Fox was trying to auger themselves into the toilet, this ought to hasten the process. It does offer some unique logo/branding opportunities with those double Fs - Fox Fundies. I could think of a third F, and possibly a fourth. Too bad Falwell croaked, or there'd be yet another F to add to the Fabulous Fox Fruitbat Fundie entourage.

The lineup couldn't be less palatable. OTOH, I'm sure they can find a way. I wonder... do they have Fred [F]Phelps' number in the Rolodex? Gimme another F!

Awesome job, Fox. No, really. You've outdone yourselves.

re: #225 Charles

He really turned this city around, he told the racial arsonists (my former class mate Sharpton) that they no longer were welcome at Gracie Mansion, he understood the threat we face from the religion of peace, he understood the fact that in order to spur economic growth you need to create a favorably business environment by lowering taxes as much as possible and reigning in regulations, he was a tough law & order man. yes he had a healthy ego (and was an annoying Yankees fan) but what politician, athlete or entertainer does not have an over sized ego. He was an ethnic Republican who could appeal to the Reagan Democrats - I too got a feeling of foreboding when his candidacy tanked. John Bolton would have been the type of guy that Rudy would have wanted at State instead of an incompetent Condi Rice, Giuliani would not have had the blind loyalty towards incompetents that GW Bush has had.

On the creationist side, and especially on the part of the dishonest Discovery Institute, there is nothing BUT misunderstanding, and deception.

I also have problems with those who are pushing ID as a replacement or co-equal "science" with what is commonly called "evolution." But I grew up surrounded by those who took the first part of Genesis to be the literal truth. Not all of them think that the Creationists are correct in waging the battles they wage. Especially in how they go about it.

IOW, not all who believe in the Genesis account want to cram ID down everyones' throat. However, many scientists do believe the Universe was manufactured, somehow. They just want to understand "how." That's a far cry from shilling for--or even accepting--the ID proponents' dogma.

BTW, any rules on "off-topics like these? Thanks!

He was an attetnion whore back then too. Not as dangerous as he is now. I do recall when MLK was assassinated, he gave the eulogy in the auditorium.

I turn off Buchanan when I see him. I usualy don't watch Fox, but having Huckabye makes me uneasy.
