I agree. Fox has been a real disappointment. Fred Barnes especially!
Fox (Hume) is repeating the planted rumon about Fred wanting to quit after Iowa. Blank stares from the “panel” at the latest news on Fred beating Romey in entrance polls.
The emperor has NO freakin’ clothes.
As long ago as August the Special Report Roundtable were writing Fred off as “an actor” — somehow forgetting that Ronald Reagan was an actor. Their attitude toward Thompson (constantly staying they don’t understand the “reason” for his candidacy) has been puzzling to say the least.
“Freddy “The Beetle” Barnes makes me gag lately.”
Barnes has been making me gag for a long, long time now. With the exception of Charles Krauthammer, I wish they would replace all of their “All Stars” and start over. A clean sweep, keeping only Charles. The rest suck. Mort and Fred have this peculiar Barnes alpha-male, Mort passive-aggressive thing going on between them all the time, and all Barnes does is cross and un-cross his arms 50 million times per minute. Drives me nutz. Or he picks up his pen to doodle on a piece of paper. The guy has some really neurotic bad habits, like he has constant ticks. A nervous Nelly. And invariably his opinions are off base or outright wrong. And Moira, the NPR chick, has allergies and therefore inflicts her hacking coughs on the public just about every weekend. Bill Krystol has a voice that grates on me bigtime. Thank goodness for Krauthammer or it would be a total loss. And, in a negative but at least humorous way, Juan Williams is worth keeping on only so that Brit Hume can go after him tooth and tong when Juan says something totally outrageous. But Barnes is such an obvious establishment RINO.
