He looks to me as if he died several years ago.

All I think of when I see him is, BAD BREATH!

Anchor Aaron Brown's Star Appears to Fade

I can't believe I'm seeing "Aaron Brown" and "Star" in the same sentence.

Watching him deliver the news is like going into a coma.

[Ann Archy]

Brown is an arrogant BORE.....with a hideous voice.

Virtually all the network's big names were there. Except Aaron Brown, whose star appears to be fading in the CNN firmament...Tucker Carlson today on C-Span spoke of his experience at CNN when he wanted a CNN mug and called the woman who was in charge of giving them out - she told him his budget didn't provide for one, and no amount of cajoling could convince her to spring for one for him. Within a matter of days he learned that he was being fired from the network, and later found out that the mug woman already knew about the firing by the time he was dealing with her - maybe whoever made arrangements for this dinner has gotten the word on Brown.....

Schadenfreude

This is the New York Times CNN Schadenfreude Ping List. Freepmail me to be added or dropped.

When was he fired?

[Timesink]

Maybe he should be up late at night, wide awake...

For the love of God, PROMISE THE MUG!

Why is there no mug? The little things matter! Why is Accordion Guy only on once every six months? Enough of the WNN-through-a-CNN-filter crap. Just go whole hog.

(For a touch of irony, check out post 24, even though I'm not sure it makes sense.)

I don't get this. When was Tucker fired from CNN? (He wouldn't be the first at CNN by any means to have been canned under one regime and then brought back by another ... I just don't recall the first firing.)

Plus, I mean, a mug costs like $3 to make. Even CNN isn't that cheap.

[Timesink]

Oh yeah, one word: McRee. Never underestimate the power of a foil to bounce things off of.

[McGavin999]

Who?

[WackyKat]

Weirder than Dan Rather?

Rather is weird, but you have to admit that the crazy guy who beat him up while shouting "What's the frequency, Kenneth"? was even weirder.

When was he fired?...sorry - I missed the beginning of the story - Carlson was on C-Span2's Miami Book Fair program with Bernard Goldberg this afternoon - maybe will be repeated and you can catch it for further details.....

Plus, I mean, a mug costs like $3 to make. Even CNN isn't that cheap...well, after all he is a conservative - sorry I missed the beginning of the story, but the segment may be repeated on C-Span2 as part of their coverage of the Miami Book Fair where Carlson appeared.....

"Maybe he should be up late at night, wide awake..."

LOL! Funny you should say that about a former ABC World News Now anchor. He always looked too tired then to even think about dancing to the World News Polka Barry Mitchell wrote and is played every Friday night/morning.

Well, I don't care what anybody on this thread says. I like him alot. He is fair, he IS intellectual...so what...asks great questions and doesn't care how long he takes to ask them. Way better than the rest of the hollywood plasticoids.

[KellyAdmirer]

People like the mug lady, receptionists, certain secretaries are ALWAYS the first to know when someone is on the way out or the way up. That's SOP in an office setting. When the receptionist stops smiling at you on the way in, get your resume ready.

Aaron Brown talks like a womens hair dresser.

[BurbankKarl]

Metrosexuals need only apply.....or in Anderson Cooper's case, metrohomosexuals

[Spruce]

Aaron Brown is creepy.
