I also believe we won't have to be plagued with his occasional pleas for attention and relevance much longer. Betweent the $$$ he paid to settle the suit with the Saudi student he claimed was the money man for the Boston marathon bombing, and the lawsuit he'll soon probably lose to his former CEO, Chris Balfe for more $$$, he's bleeding money.
I'm just very glad that Buck Sexton, whom I enjoy tremendously, was able to negotiate out of his contract with The Blaze's sinking ship and make his way to America Now Radio, replacing bimbo Meghan McCain.
