Fox News' Greta Van Susteren is furious with CNN for putting her pal Gov. Sarah Palin on a 2008 list with Elliot Spitzer, John Edwards and other scandalized political players. Apparently Greta is Sarah Palin's BFF and she's not about to permit CNN to accuse Palin of "falling from grace" last year. Even though CNN quietly took Palin off their meaningless, silly list and even sent a producer’s private apology. Greta feels their apology falls scandalously short. Here are her thoughts on CNN-GATE: On her blog, she notes: 1/ why didn’t CNN PUBLICLY apologize for this one? they sure unfairly...

Greta Van Susteren was interviewing Laura Ingraham who stood in for Sarah Palin at a conservative gathering at the last minute. Greta went out of her way to criticize Palin for not appearing. (I think she is jealous and/or pissed that her husband came out today in support of Palin)

On her Tuesday evening "On the Record" program, Greta Van Susteren interviewed Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. The cost of gasoline was the first topic discussed. The speaker told of actions the Democrat-controlled Congress has taken. Charitably, these are marginal at best, yet Van Susteren didn't challenge Pelosi. Then the host asked about assigning blame for high gas prices: VAN SUSTEREN: Do you assign all of the blame for the high prices on the Bush administration, or do you look back historically to a number of factors, including appetite by the American people, other administrations, other Congresses? PELOSI: No,...

Bringing a microphone and camera crew to the gates of an Aruba landfill this past week, Greta Van Susteren returned to the island that her nightly Fox News Channel program has figuratively called home recently. Van Susteren's "On the Record" has relentlessly followed the mysterious disappearance of 18-year-old Natalee Holloway of Alabama while on a graduation trip to Aruba in May. Critics find it an obsession bordering on the bizarre, twisting traditional notions of news judgment and becoming Exhibit A in the media's fascination with missing people - as long as they happen to be young, white, female and pretty....

NEW YORK (AP) - Bringing a microphone and camera crew to the gates of an Aruba landfill this past week, Greta Van Susteren returned to the island that her nightly Fox News Channel program has figuratively called home recently.

Last week, Fox anchor Neil Cavuto secured a White House interview with President Bush, and liberals were upset. It wasn’t tough enough. Washington Post correspondent Daniel Froomkin reported that Cavuto asked about Mrs. Bush, John Kerry’s grades, and media overcoverage of Michael Jackson, but sneered: "Who wants to talk about that messy war in Iraq, or the Downing Street Memo? Not Neil Cavuto, Fox News executive, anchor, commentator and Bush campaign contributor." Fox-defending blogger "Johnny Dollar" noted two problems with Froomkin. First, Bush was asked about Iraq and that memo at a press conference the day before, so would that...

Nearly two years after Greta Van Susteren defected from CNN to archrival Fox News, she has plenty to say about her former employer -- and not much good. "What happened to CNN is a disgrace," Van Susteren said in an interview to promote her new book, "My Turn at the Bully Pulpit." The problems at CNN, she said, started when parent company Time Warner merged with AOL and laid off employees. But she also criticized recent moves by Jim Walton, named president of Atlanta-based CNN early this year. Van Susteren thinks Walton made a mistake by downsizing boisterous debate show...

Bo Derek and her date -- John Corbett, of "Northern Exposure" and "Sex and the City" fame -- had gotten up from their table at last night's White House correspondents dinner at the Hilton Washington when they set eyes on one suddenly popular young man in a crowd studded with movie stars, comedians and political leaders (and even television's "Bachelorette," Trista Rehn). The young man in question was Lance Vandaniker. He's 23 years old, hails from Sevierville, Tenn., and he'd never been in a room filled with famous people before. He also happened to have his left arm encased in...
