That's a good one. She annoys the heck out of me. Even after her face stretch.
FR had some of the funniest threads on her at that time.

I've HAD it with this non-stop Aruba coverage on The Hannity and Colmes show. I used to search through (teevoooo) any H and C episode to get past the Aruba coverage.
But, then, Aruba for 2, 3, 4 SEGMENTS?!? They may as well change the name from Hannity and Colmes to NATALIE AND COLMES.
I finally deleted the program from the auto-record, and it's been weeks since I've watched the program. I ask you all to do the same to pressure these guys into a more balanced, reasonable program.
So, HONK if you're sick of the NATALIE and COLMES show! Vanity out.
Agree. Had it w/the story, period, but specifically w/Hannity. I also had had enuff of the endless coverage of all the other missing girls there have been.
.
Number of developments and new information in the Holloway case in the past two months: Zero as best I can tell.
and the Greta van Aruba show, and the O'Natalie Factor....
Stop blowing your own horn and stop watching the show if you're sick of Natalie. No one is forcing you to watch.
WOW---you are SO right...I can't watch anything after Shep Smith..unless Bill O'Reilly has a really good guest...but even HE has been having a Natalee Aruba story every night lately...
Blech!
Really, with Greta beating the dead horse into the ground every night, I don't see why H&C need to be doing the same thing.
Honk!
The worst is watching Scarborough become a tool.
We wouldn't know. We haven't watched those two dopes in years.
I agree...
you'd think that there was only one person in America who had disappeared...
we have American Marines & Soldies dying in Iraq daily and the clowns at FOX and the rest of the tragedy shows have nothing to broadcast but a daily dose of some young woman who goes to Aruba, takes off with some strange men from a bar and we're all supposed to STOP EVERYTHING!
I don't think so...
Sharks, Gary Condit, Bush's vacation.....
This is the summer of the obnoxious bitches......you fill in the blanks.......
I agree...I have not watched H & C for quite a while...plus Hannity is getting more and more shrill and Colmes could not make a cogent argument if he had the DNC talking points right in front of him...never have watched Greta van Eyebrows...one of our local radio stations was planning to do '24 hour' coverage in search of a lost poodle as a referenc to the Aruba story...feel sorry for the Hollaway family, but there are other very important things happening in the world.
From what I've heard, Greta covers Aruba every night. I would have thought that'd be plenty.
Apparently not.
I can only guess overnight ratings indicate viewership is up when Aruba is on.
Soldies = Soldiers
Haven't watched it regularly in years, but every single time I stop by for a visit the NH story is being discussed. It's basically Court TV meets a daytime soap opera.
Exactly, that is why God invented the television remote control and later TIVO...we have stopped watching.
And throw in GRETA'S DEATHWATCH, too...I'm tired of ten seconds of information (or less) getting dragged into hours of shows, turning all sorts of sordid creeps into celebrities (and I don't mean Alan Colmes specifically).
HONK
*HONK!*
And what about all those poor other girls who disappear by the thousands??? Doesn't fox think THEIR story should be covered???
If Fox wants to be more helpful, there are a lot more missing people stories out there they can go after.
That said, her ratings are skyrocketing, so apparently we are in the minority on this one....
Nearly everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.
That's why the only two daily news shows I watch these days are Special Report (with Brit Hume) and Lou Dobbs Tonight.
You really don't think there's been some serious overkill on this???
What about all the other missing girls? Are they not worthy of getting some of the attention because the story may not be as "glamorous"???
FNC is only funning this stuff because people watch, and
it shows up in the ratings, and sells ad time.
I'm convinced that FNC's audience is bifurcated into two
quite disparate groups:
- conservatives
- supermarket tabloid subscribers
Each cannot grasp why the other's targetted content is on FNC.
I'm WAY over it. It's all about sensationalism.
Next up? The Geezer Preacher philanderer and his Geriatric Secretary of course.
Meanwhile, Sandy Berger found another page of the National Archives up his ass today!
I get literally hundreds of missing person alerts - "Have You Seen This Person?" - in my mailbox every year, but their stories are completely ignored. But then again, most of them aren't pretty blondes missing from exotic island locales.
That's a good one. She annoys the heck out of me. Even after her face stretch.
FR had some of the funniest threads on her at that time.
Well it's not just Fox....it's every1. They all go hog wild over a single, individual crime.
I can't recall all the girls who've been the rave in the media the last few years.
Of course, there was also the Peterson thing. Then they tried this year recently w/the Runaway Bride (when they 1st thought it was a kidnapping/murder) - milked it as it was, but died down faster only being a sham.
I just get sick of picking on these individual every-day stories. Lots of murders and disappearances happen, yet you'd think only these had happened!
I agree that more should be done to publicize other disappearances, but this is different in that it occured in another country that has systematically done all it can to protect one of their own and I think people are tired of the runaround we've received.
I never watch GWETTA. In fact, the one show I watch regularly on FOX (Sad...it's down to one interesting show for me) is Brit Hume.
Bill O is just a stupid man.
Natalie and Colmes lacks depth
Gweta...welll...tha voice.
And I REFUSE to watch ED SHILL.
BINGO! Exactly! And that's the whole problem. The overkill ironically seems to devalue those other poor souls.
#1, if THIS were my daughter, I wouldn't EXPECT there would be tons of news coverage. Given that tons of crimes including murders happen every day, many not even locally publicized.
****#2, if I had some OTHER daughter, I'd be wondering why SHE and I aren't getting all the coverage and "help" like that other girl.****
How's THAT?
This is NOT new. It's NOT just "foreign" crimes on US citizens which get huge, ridiculous, out-of-proportion coverage. See my post above mentioning some of the "crazes" of the recent years.
Why should they not be so publicized? Cuz such crimes happen every day, and they're frankly, irrelevent to millions of Americans/people, while other events have more potential relevence to most of us. Sorry, that's the plain, hard truth. News should not merely be a "missing persons" investigation. That's for the policing authorities to do.
HONK HONK HONK
"If Fox wants to be more helpful, there are a lot more missing people stories out there they can go after"
Make sure you email FOX and let them know you would like 24/7 newscoverage of all the missing people. Because 24/7 is what it would take. Then you would really have something to post a vanity about.
It doesn't need to be 24/7. Heck, they could cover thousands of missing people if they merely divide the time they spend on Aruba.
HONK. A girl is missing. That's really too bad. but WHY do they make such a HUGH deal about it. You'd think we were in the midst of a national crises. It is ONE girls who is missing. THOUSANDS of kids go missing every year, but this one gets talked about CONSTANTY. She's probably already dead too
Because he can't come up with anything original...that's why he continues to beat dead horses.
Honk.
If H & C is going to do stories on missing people then they should be covering more than one missing person. I would rather see them do a story on what the supreme court has done with our property rights.
There is a local boy here in mid-Michigan, nearing eight years old, who went missing about two months ago. He doesn't even make the local news anymore, and never made the national news. Why should he? After all, he's not a cute, blonde girl. Nothing interesting about a little boy missing.
That's what I'm talking about.
or...the O'Ruba Factor.
Poor horse, I'm calling PETA!
Stuartcr:
Think it’s too late for the horse; beside, PETA would just
through it into a trash dumpster.
H&C needs more COULTER and LEVIN. Big-time.
I think the 1st time I ever saw it was on a eBay fora. It just cracked me up so bad every time I saw it! It's just so stupid and absurd.....LOL
And no, I love horses (which is why I hesitate to use it in the racing fora I frequent) as well as animals all around!
