Geez..Zahn is in free-fall..and where do you get these, please?

[Cableguy]

i got the ratings from tvnewser. drudge also posts them a few times a month.

Olberwomannn is propped up by the crazies on DU.

Two complete idiots in a pissing match over trivia. I love Fox News, but I don't get why Oreilly has such a big audience. I think Cavuto is 3 times the reporter, and would love to see him have a prime time shot.

the Dummies best friends.....Boxer shorts and Olbereyebrows

[OldFriend]

I could hardly believe it when Elizabeth Edwards praised DU and said she visits often.

Good grief, how could she?

[ken5050]

thanks..

[NorCalRepub]

she seems so decent too.........we have our share it intolerant idiots here, but a small percentage compared to the vast majority or DU'ers....funny when I've been over there it is almost ALL hate speech and there are actually some over there that call for less hatred....but it is a small minority.....I wonder when the Dems talk about Daily Kos or DU, that they see all the invective and hatred spewed from over there.......just wish some of us here didn't emulate them from time to time

[NYURepublican]

Cavuto is awesome at the 4 pm slot right after the markets close. I dont think hed want to do another primetime show...

[FlipWilson]

What did Olberman lead the nation in. . .getting wedgies and beaten the shyt out of? Or was he the National Annoying Champion?

[Bahbah]

Greta: 1,550,000

Off topic, but I will never get this, and there are those who have attempted to penetrate my thick skull.

[flashbunny]

I propose we put o'reilly and olberman in a steel cage and fight, no holds-barred winner takes all.

Then pray that somehow they both lose.

[AmishDude]

Looks like the liberals have their own game: Smear the Conservative. Anything for the pound of flesh.

[darkmatter]

By my count he IS dead last.

[s2baccha]

How can I Lexus-Nexus search? I've got everything else.

[pissant]

Maybe Roger Ailes was right. You could put on a dead raccoon and get Paula's ratings. She is a hottie though.

Might it have something to do with being opposite Zahn and Olbernuts?

[Cableguy]

You need to subscribe to its service. It is quite expensive. I would advise against it. Google provides a similar, scaled-down service for free.

"Or was he the National Annoying Champion?"

Flip, I believe Olberman suffers from Obnoxious Personality Disorder (OPD)which has no doubt served him well in his quest for "National Annoying Champion".
