      Wrong Steve Doocy. You are just straight up wrong. There have been plenty of the so called "czars" (including one of Fox's targets, Sunstein) who were vetted and confirmed by the United States Senate.

          I heard something the other day that out of the 43 some odd "czars" FoxNews and its accolytes are ranting about, 14 or 15 of them were Senate confirmed positions. Which takes the level of "czars" or advisers, down to 29 or 28 that were not confirmed via the Senate, meaning, less than President Bush.

      Hey, Stevie and Gretch, how hard is it to be so righteously indignant this early in the morning? Do you sleep badly and come to work in a foul mood? Is the coffee that bad at Fox? Or maybe there isn't enough fiber in the bran muffins? How do you do it? My stomach would be upset for the whole rest of the day if I had to be that prickly at this hour. It must be the muffins, the lack of fiber would explain why you folks are so full of it.

      No one seems to mention that none of them were actually czars, either.

        Yes, Nicholas is long dead. You know that the Russian Orthodox Church actually canonized the whole family. Will the Right start talking about Saints now?

          Sure, they already do: Saint Theodore, Saint William, Saint Warren, Saint Calvin, Saint Herbert, Saint David, Saint Richard, Saint Gerald, Saint Ronald, Saint George the Elder and Saint George the Younger.

          Still living are the Blessed Newt and the Blessed Karl, and Pope Dick.

              Did he really? Wow. TR is probably the 3rd (at worst) greatest Republican President of all-time. (Excluding Federalists, Whigs & National-Republicans.) I'd have him second. Just a quick and dirty ranking (which is appropriate for Republicans):

              1) Lincoln
              2) T.Roosevelt
              3-4) Reagan / Eisenhower (fight it out)
              5-7) G.H.Bush / Coolidge / McKinnley (fight it out)
              8-13) Taft / Hayes / Garfield / Aruthur / B.Harrison / Grant / Ford (does it really matter?)
              14) Nixon
              15-17) Harding / Hoover / G.W.Bush (fight it out)

              How the heck could he justify ranking TR so low? Look at the list! Is he THAT afraid of the word 'progressive'? I don't think it still means what it did 100 years ago! (Yes, literally 100 years ago!)

                I'd put TR at the top of the list of ALL Presidents. He is on the mountain after all.

      That is hilarious coming from Doocy, whose only job in life is to not only look pretty on camera, but also make Gretchen Carlson look pretier.

      There are NO czars, vetted or unvetted. That term is a media device . . . their actual title is "advisor."

          Just as they refer to Obama as a "nazi" in one breath and a "communist" the next -- seemingly forgetting the fact the communists and nazis were on opposite sides in WWII . . .

      I guess President Obama should give every one of these "czar" jobs to one man, John Bolton. Because we know Fox has no objection to Bolton getting a job without being confirmed by the Senate.

        John Bolton represented the United States of America at the United Nations as the U.N. Ambassador. He was a recess appointment by President Bush after it became clear after a months-long process that the Senate was not going to confirm him. Somehow the outrage was curiously absent from the people at FOX NEWS CHANNEL over that.

        THANK YOU.
