All I remember is how incredibly cautious he was. Not that he wasn't decisive, just that he avoided making controversial decisions or doing anything controversial at all.

Did anyone else see this? Does anyone know who he was talking about?
I have a feeling that he was dishing some inside dirt from FOXNews. If I had to guess, I would say someone got canned in order to make room for Glenn Beck's new show, and he was talking about that. Any ideas?
Saw it......had No IDEA OF WHAT HE WAS SAYING.
Yeah, I saw it. He mentioned a whole department getting canned.
Vanilla? It could have been a sarcastic reference to Mayor Ray “Chocolate City” Nagin.
Greg Kelly was recently let go. Greg is the retired Marine LtCol Aviator who was embedded in the original push into Iraq. He had been on Fox & Friends.
I like Neil - but this does seem strange.
He sounds like he’s speaking of someone specific and a real situation - not like he’s generalizing for effect.
I wonder?
I saw it. The point (made at the end) was that he felt it was a deplorable way to handle the termination. No, I didn’t get the idea it had to do with some new show. He compared the “vanilla” person who was fired with the person who replaced him; someone known in the company for being in your face so-to-speak.
It may have been about Fox News, but I didn’t take it that way.
When was Greg Kelly let go? I don’t watch Fox much but he was a good guy...
Greg Kelly still works for Fox, he’s on the local NYC Fox station.
Wasnt Edie Hill let go too?
oh sad...I LIKED him! Why couldn’t they have gotten rid of WENDELL GOLER, or MAJOR GARRETT, Obama bathwater drinker or CARL CAMERON????
They were also talking to Greg Kelly about the F-18 crash on Fox News via phone. They seemed cordial enough.
Gibson was let go, but I wouldn’t call him “vanilla.” Then whoever took his place is being replace by Beck. I never watched the show that took Gibson’s place, so I have no idea what it was like. Was it “vanilla?”
I would LOVE for Geraldo to VANISH!
I know, just a dream ...
"Vanilla" is also a term for bland. Boring. Lacking in personality or fire.
Maybe that's what he meant.
I do not know lwho he is talking about but I have noticed that Fox news has taken a shrp turn to the left on many issues. Maybe they are preparing for radio free america under BHO.
Could Cavuto be speaking of Norm Coleman?
If you’ve ever heard Norm speak, you’d agree with me.
That’s because Kelly was a pilot in the Marines who was in a similar incident, he had to bail-out of his plane here in the US, off of California I believe.
He has his own program now in NYC, they were interviewing him on Monday when the jet crashed and talked about his new position...
