      If you want to be on FOX News over the next few weeks, just act like a whiney douche in front of a Democratic politician and Fox will give you your five minutes of fame.

      He might have had Dick Morris explain the health care bill to him.

      Is that Juliet Huddy from the failed Fox morning program? What did they do with Mike Jerrick?

        Huddy and Jerrick were both on together for a show on like NBC in the AM. Against like Regis and Kelly or something like that. The show was cancelled and Jerrick is still at the network on one of the news shows. Huddy is back home at Fox.

          Nah, it was only carried by other networks if Fox wasn't available certain areas. Apparently, they hosted 2 other Fox morning shows, too.

          On another note, they have really Barbied her up. Are these women in anything other than pounds of bronzer and makeup, wearing low-cut tops and short skirts? Julie Banderas even makes a couple outfit changes on Saturdays. It's ridiculous. Just more distractions...

            Eye candy can be attributed to their high ratings. I am surprised they stil have Greta on the payroll. She is probably the only female at Fox not hired becasue of her looks. She was hired becasue of her husband's political connections.

              That's the problem with "watching" the news. Whether the anchor/commentator/whoever is attractive or not, that's all people are fixated on anymore. Our society wants flashy graphics and 27 chyrons and bimbos, and they wind up either too distracted to get their facts straight or eat up the lies because Barbie was soooo mesmerizing. "She whispered it like a secret to me, fluttered her sparkly eyelids, and crossed her legs... she's so smart!" If it's not entertaining, it's not true!

                The real problem is news on tv is not about facts or journalism at all, it is about the company's bottom line. Capitalism, and I consider myself a capitalist, has deteriorated the news business and the intellect of its consumers. Thank goodness for MMFA and like sites.

      I have to laugh at these people who want government out of their lives. It's easily the stupidest thing you can say.

        If they actually do, then fine. I say, let them fill out a survey, and if they want the govt out of their lives, they can give up the following things:

        Social security (if they're at the right age)
        Medicare
        Roads
        Planes
        Fire service
        Police service
        Safe food
        Safe drugs
        Military protection
        Electricity
        Water and sewer
        Money

        Anything else that I've missed?
