FOX can afford to do this.
They’ve got the conservative street cred. So they can now raid MSNBC and CNN for more audience share.
This is VERY smart on Ailes’ part.
Best,

They really are going downhill.
Hmmmmm. Looks like Fair and Balanced is moving in the direction of Unfair and Imbalanced. On the bright side - maybe less airtime for Geraldo.
This is a very savvy hire by Fox.
On the bright side - maybe less airtime for Geraldo.Hope so.
I disagree that Fox “can afford this” or that they’ll now nibble around the edges of the CNN and MSNBC audience by getting a tad less conservative. Isn’t that the same as being the media equivalent of a RINO?
Evan Bayh and Lanny Davis in the same week? We can catch crap like that everywhere else -and Fox inches closer to being everybody else.
How so. Watching this dynamic guy talk is like watching pudding set. What a snooze. This dude should open a funeral home and just go away.
Who is his first guest? Tim Pawlenty.
Hope this show airs at 2AM. Should do well among insomniacs

Well, I wasn't considering if he could juggle or sing. But, he was a Secretary of State for Indiana, a two-term Governor and a two-term Senator. This, from a heartland state. While a Democrat, he is considered by many to be a fiscal conservative. He has a reasonable demeanor and voice.
I wonder if he can dance?
“They’ve got the conservative street cred. So they can now raid MSNBC and CNN for more audience share.

I not sure how smart this is. FNC has been tracking left in the past 18 months and lots of conservatives (like me) have stopped watching.
Spot on. FNC is following the path most RINOs take: seeing how much you can p!ss conservatives off without totally losing them.
Lately FNC has become the happy hunting ground for RINOs and neocons with a healthy sprinkling of liberals.
Colmes the only liberal? What do you consider Shep, Beckel and Whore-aldo?

I agree, Lazlo. Evan Bayh: Zzzzz...
Thanks for the heads up on this one, EdReform.
“I agree, this was smart. Having Colmes as the only liberal is getting old, we need a new whipping boy. “
I don’t care which of the FOX shows he shows his ugly face as once I see it the channel gets changed. If I wanted to listen to an a$$ I’d pass gas.
I grew up in Indiana when this idiot’s father was king cheese. Just trailer trash. Another reason for me to not watch FOX. Or any tv for that matter.
