I'm sorry! :-)

if the guy wasn't deathly afraid of women that $7M a year he was making could have kept a few.

I think it was more like they were afraid of him. He's a pretty weird guy by many accounts.

A perfect fit!

That might very well be a record. Who is the record keeper?

I'll ask mom.

HEY MOM!!!

What's the record number for spaz attack posts?

We think we have a new record here!

I could see Stuart Varney propping a chair under the janitor’s closet door and not letting him out until the next day.

I don’t know. You sure Keith is actually qualified to handle that mop? FOX must have seriously lowered their standards for help.

The timing would have better if this were April 1st, but I couldn't help myself. :-)

Man, your headline made my blood pressure go thru the roof, though... ;-D

He's got a degree from a presigious dairy farming school or some such, he mentions it all the time. That's "Sanitary Engineer", thank you very much.

I was more referring to the drug screen and mental health evaluation. I’m pretty sure Colmes couldn’t pass at least one of those. :)

“Actually, many conservative media have hired the stupidest liberal they can find to ‘represent’ the opposing view.”

Lib media has done the same thing for decades. They have editorial control over what gets published or shown. I.e., Fox could hire (I shudder at the thought) Olberdorker as a ‘consultant’ exclusively with Fox. Then they could put him on air at will, i.e., maybe once a year.

At this point, I don’t really know what career options would be left for ole Keith in the media. Who would pick him up? CNN wants to be taken seriously, so that’s out. He’s a clown but not funny enough for the Comedy Network. He hates Fox. NBC/MSNBC/CNBC are now out. So is ESPN. Not a lotta options out there. How sad.

I should have known but suckered into it as well.

"Cleanup on aisles 2-16!"

"I said CLEAN UP ON AISLES 2-16!!!"

"OLBERMANN!!!!!"

That has to be some kind of record for consecutively deleted posts on FR or anywhere.

I know :)

I actually have no idea if Fox news drug tests their talent, but I know for sure if MSNBC did, there would be no employees

ROFLOL!
