WHEN WILL DEREK JETER HELP THE KIDS IN TAMPA AGAIN , I WOLD LIKE TO TALK WITH YOU ABOUT BEING AN AGENT. , 352-389-8922 / MIKE
WILL YOU BE HERE IN 09 FOR THE SPRING TRAINING GAMES????
I want to send my condolences to casey close for having the worst journalist of a wife in histoy.
But Being On Fox News FOX & FRIENDS THEY SHOULD RENAME IT THE THREE STOOGES.
GRETCHEN CARLSON IS THE LIGHT BULB THAT WENT OUT A LONG TIME AGO. YOU REALLY
NEED GLASSES. GRETCHEN IS NO WAY THE THE AMERICAN BEAUTY SHE WAS ONCE.
Susan, I’ve seen Ms. Carlson on Fox News several times. She is very talented and a very unbiased journalist. ALWAYS fair & balanced. In fact, I can honestly say that she always presents both sides of the story. Susan, I feel very sorry for you. I can tell you’re probably an overweight, not so good looking, socially inept, illiterate, smelly, wannabe, not to mention extremely jealous, dead-end job or unemployed, low income, bad credit ridden, tabloid reading slob. If you are married or in a relationship, I feel so sorry for your significant other. Simply because he/she has to wake up everyday next to a person resembling and smelling like Rosie O’Donnell. If Ms. Carlson “IS A LIGHT BULB THAT WENT OUT A LONG TIME AGO”, then Susan, you are that butt plug that sits in a drawer always wanting to be used. Poor you. Oh, by the way, I think Ms. Carlson is still very attractive not to mention happily married with beautiful kiddos. Good job Gretch!
You must be a Democrat for sure. Fox is a great news show and Gretchen is a wonderful asset to the show. Just because she is pretty and a former Miss America doesn’t mean that she is not intelligent.
The whole Republican Party seems to be more concern that they are not in power, that’s all that seems to matter to them. The thing that gets me the most, George Stephanopoulos who did the interview with Mr. 9/11 Rudy Giuliani did not correct him @ all. Stephanopoulos sat there and let Giuliani tell the world that there was no domestic attack on America under George Bush. Stephanopoulos role as an actual journalist must be in question. Fox News didn’t step up and correct Giuliani as well; the news station’s whose claim to fame is hard hitting honest news reporting.
The Democratic Party has spent a huge waste of time trying to break bread with Republicans who want one thing and one thing only political control. Even if that means lying, and never questioning the actions of its members of there own party. Maybe I’m wrong they are trashing Michael Steele around like a rag doll. Due to fact that he is not marching instep with the Republican machine.
Rudy Giuliani’s job on Good Morning America on ABC News was to let the world know that President Barack Obama was just not John Wayne enough when it came to terrorism in this country.
Even though under George Bush’s leadership we blew up another country, put are American soldiers in danger and didn’t even capture Osama bin Laden. Republican’s are more focus on making sure we are not to trust President Obama then actually doing something for the American people. The Democrats are not defending them self @ all against Republican fear base politics. The time to turn the other cheek against The Republican Party is way over, sometime you have to punch a bully in the nose, with out apology it’s called defending you’re self.
If Rudy Giuliani main point was to get me to see President Obama as weak on terrorism he failed. He made his political party seem exactly what it is a Political Party who has no true desire for diversity. A Political Party that has shown it self to be more concern on wining the big game then concern for all Americans. If you’re not an American Fox News watching, Heterosexual Christian, with a major passion for Guns then you’re just American enough. Going on Fox News (Republican TV with out the elephant logo in the corner) and pretending that the Tea Party Movement was grassroots when Fox News created it, beyond shame full. On the Democratic side kicking back like scare children and thinking you can take the high road when you need to step up to the plate.
Rudy Giuliani, Brit Hume doing a fine job in showing the world that the Republican Party has no room for diversity.
