Ruh-oh!

Watching Fox News to catch up on the latest Delay news, I see that Rick Folbaum is filling in for Shep Smith.
My two cents says Folbaum is better than Shep. Smith is too 'hot,' not in the Paris Hilton meaning, but in the sense that the show often seems more about him than about the news. He's a distraction.
Folbaum seems more of a straightforward TV news journalist. He wears better.
Your thoughts?
By the way, Folbaum refereed a debate on the Delay matter between Democrat Cong. Pasquale of New Jersey and Republican McHenry of North Carolina. I have to admit I thought Pasquale got the better of the exchange. He came across as more spontaneous and real. McHenry, as Pasquale pointed out, seemed to be reading from a list of talking points.
Here's a link to Folbaum's bio:

Absolutely.
Something about Shep reminds me of Elton John.
That's two votes for Folbaum: yours and mine. I will tally the votes and report when the thread seems to have run its course!
Shepard Smith doesn't belong on FNC. He's almost as good of a drama queen as Whoreraldo. When he comes on after Brit Hume I find myself switching to see what's on Hardball or CNN. He reminds me of a L.A. car chase reporter. Just my thoughts.
*cough*
Mascara ping.
Ruh-oh!
I feel about the same. Really can't bear to watch him.
LOL. I do the same thing, for exactly the same reason. Just not my style. But now I worry about being one of Hardball's few viewers, so I may listen to an hour of music.
Where is Brain Kilmeade? Seems I haven't seen him on morning show or am I mistaken?
Slightly off subject, but still about Fox News:
A little while ago Martin Frost, acting the role of a Fox News analyst declared Tom Delay guilty as charged. I know he's a defeated Democrat member of the House, but there was absolutely no pretense at fairness.
P.S. I do also like Folbaum. A lot.
>>>Rick Folbaum Better than Shep Smith at Fox's Studio B?
Anyone is better than Shep...
Shep for SeeBS Anchor!!! I'd have a reason to watch FoxNews More, and another reason not to watch SeeBS.
My wife likes Shep ~ I'm a Brit Hume fan myself. ;)
Your inference is that Shep is gay. Just because a guy is good looking .. it doesn't mean he's gay. I don't see anything about Shep to point in that direction at all.
ROTFL
I think it's that something about him seems diva-ish. Like a male J-Lo.
Did a quick Google and found this article referencing a statement made to Brian just this morning. So guess he's still around. He's clearly the best part of F&F: can't believe he'd be going anywhere.

He's on in the morning still. Now if they would just get rid of E.D.....
