[CholeraJoe]

You heard it here first. She'll have her own show within a year. Roger Ailes brought her back for a reason and that reason is to replace Rita when she jumps ship or has to be quarantined because she has more botox in her system than blood.

[xsmommy]

she was there and left? he can do what he pleases with her i suppose. i am not wild about rita cosby either, but i didn't know she was awash in botox. frankly i find Greta more palatable to either of them.

[CholeraJoe]

She started with FNC in 96. She's got more Emmys than Rita.

[Laura Earl]

But why didn't you tell him how you really feel?

[xsmommy]

where was she when she got them?

[xsmommy]

HD Please report in.....

[camle]

no prob. regards to Uriah

[Conspiracy Guy]

DId i run him off or was he really there?

[NeoCaveman]

. SHOOT ME, I DON"T LIKE UMA OR DAGEN!

Dagen? The new money honey. I like her voice and she's easy on the eyes.

[honeygrl]

Maybe he just realized what a jerk he is and went to call his son.

[Conspiracy Guy]

I doubt that. Jerks never know that they are jerks. Azzholes, like me, are full of self-awareness.

[camle]

Greta van Sneerstein ticks me off like no other newsbabe (I use ther term losely here)

I can still recall her sneering "just who does he think he is?" when judge Ito ordered news camers turned off at the OJ trial. Ito relented and allowed them back in - which IMHO he shouldn't have.

disgusting ***** (Rhymes with rich)

oh sorry. I apologise for anyone who thought I was refering to greta as a Witch!

[honeygrl]

I just can't understand how someone who was obviously having unprotected sex can totally blame the woman for the child coming along. I really do hope he never has anymore kids in the future. He proved with the first one that he doesn't deserve any.

[Conspiracy Guy]

DITTO.

[NeoCaveman]

Cool cartoon.

[honeygrl]

Wow, i just realized that someone I see on threads all the time here (4mycountry) is only 13... I swear I think I saw the person on a Kobe thread. I didn't realize we had kids that young on the forum. I figured there were a few 15+yrs old around but not as young as 13. Guess I better watch my mouth.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Snarl Greta gets on my last nerve. She has a voicce almost as bad as Ostrich.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Be careful out there potty mouth.

[xsmommy]

xshub can't stand her talking out of the side of her face. i used to dislike her during the OJ trial, but i have enjoyed the legal stuff on her Fox show, quite a bit.

[camle]

she turns my stomache and I do not watch her at all. not since that day.
