Gopher Broke comes thru again. Thanks for da ping! (A mistake? Maybe not. It sure shows what libs are like)

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

LOL!

The only choices are “She was a mistake” and “She was a mistake and so would be others like her”.

“only choices “
Never read that particular Philly paper before, but they certainly don’t like Katie!

When CBS dumps cutey-pie, will she be able to take her colon with her?

I don’t think anything will help CBS. Oh wait! I know! They can have Geraldo!

She's a professional broadcast announcer. She shouldn't have to struggle. That statement is a prearranged excuse.

Where's response #3 "Katie is doing fine. The most of viewing public don't have the brains to appreciate her."

Latest from Black Rock is that she will probably stay through 2008 elections, as she seems to have some inside track with the Hildabeast... plus no one has the balls to fire her!

Also someone at FOX is supposedly working on an INCREDIBLE Hillary / Oprah story. Yes, THE subject. No, not linking them, but how they both have the same habits.....

For those who think any morning show host would have problems, does the name Tom Brokaw ring a bell?

How about a Mr. Charlie Gibson? Sound familiar?

Idiots... be sure to blame something other than Perkie Katie!!!!

“same habits”
There are some places even enquiring minds don’t wanna go.

If CBS had been smart, they would have hired Shep in the first place. He’s is the reason I sit down and watch the nightly news. I think Shep is the brightest, sharpest newscaster around. No, I’ve never met him and yes, I do get flamed for defending him here at FR.

As long as Shep sticks to the actual news, he’s fine and he can be funny. But don’t put him in a hurricane or a war zone and keep him away from the topic of illegal immigration.
