Michele Maulkin is more articulate and to the point. I think she would be great.”

Michelle Malkin is an underused asset at Fox News. She is articulate, bright and substantially better than Sean Hannity, Shep Smith or Bill O'Reilly.

Hannity and BOR seem like Groundhogs Day every day. IMHO the charm with Beck is that we actually learn something during each of his shows. It's not just banter between people or political arguments to "entertain" us.

Bill O'Reilly just turned 60 on September 10. He has always looked old, even when he was young.

hannity has been bad since he ditched alan who made the show entertaining. Sean has a list of talking points or 3 word phrases that he repeats ad-nausea, it gets old. Beck is a real entertaining show except when he cries. Sean needs to beg Alan to come back.

I wish Fox would pull their heads out of their a@@es and move Beck into BO’s slot. While they’re at it maybe they can dump Shep and Geraldo too since they both *SUCK*.

I agree, especially about dumping Whorealdo!

He needs to do what Beck does.. read, read and then read some more... then he wouldn’t be a Johnny one-note in all his shows.

I almost feel sorry for Sean. He’s like Rush on training wheels. It seems he looks thru his thesaurus each month and picks out a new word which he procedes to pound the living sh*t out of. His overuse of the phrase ‘fait accompli’ in a single hour is legend.

I think Glenn will fade in time. Whether he had the goods first on the ACORN tapes is debatable. Maybe they allowed him to do the lead in at the 5:00 time slot, and let Sean do the actual interviews. Remember, they have producers. I do agree that Sean needs to use diverse vocabulary and get rid of the Great, great, great, American panel. I can’t stomach Bob Beckel when he’s on. Other than that, I think Sean has a solid program and wouldn’t wish Alan Colmes back on there for love or money. I couldn’t stand him. He was another one who had nothing but talking points and was a robot for obama. I often wonder if Fox didn’t renew his contract, since he only shows up occasionally on Fox & Friends or BOR.

I can only take a little of Glenn as well. Be careful, or he will become a cult-like figure for some of you - just as obama is for the left.

I don’t agree with Beck on many things, but, I do think he is passionate about what he believes. He’s a Libertarian, and they have some weird views.

Mark Levin also doesn’t agree with Beck saying that there isn’t any difference between the 2 parties. There really is, and Beck will say that because he is a Libertarian.

I still like Sean because I think he is a great American. Sorry for the cliche, but, if you’ll all remember, he was the only one hitting the obama connections during the campaign.

I like Beck as well, but, think his novelty will also wear thin in time.

Please name some. I think Beck's becoming more of the classical liberal. I don't know if he's gone out and joined the Libertarian party.

Are you talking about abortion and open borders?

The membership of the Libertarian party, I'm told, is about evenly split on abortion. They are wrong to not be pro-life. Open borders makes no sense from a self-preservation point of view and the Libertarian party is suicidal to support it, especially in a time of a massive welfare state.

Your right, some are great on radio but don’t do so well on TV. Just like some are great on TV but may not do well on radio..

“OReilly is constantly pandering … He is a total fake.”

Ya that bad ass buffoon, Keeps letting things out that, don’t fit. We have Glen, total rad with a 1 blink track record, plug him in, or not.

Well Laura the anti Birthed, a fun lover at the expense of the misdirected. When O is headed back to Bimminy, or Setty 3, or wherever, will LA become an After birther. How would this square with prime time advertisers.

Exhausting, we only eat our friends.

Yeah, Ailes and Fox sure have their heads up their butts. OReilly has been number one for how many weeks in a row? How many years in a row? It makes me laugh when people say get rid of BOR or move him. It's like saying move Babe Ruth out of the 3 hole in the lineup. He's the top dog. He's not moving anywhere.

Now let’s move O’Reilly out

Has OReilly ever not been number 1 in the ratings? As long as I've been reading the cable ratings, I've never seen him lower than first. If people want to move him out, they are going to have to do something about him being the most watched show on Fox.

From Laurie Dhue's wiki page:

Currently she performs public speaking at conventions, conferences, corporate events and special events.
