I agree with your list of the Fox women except Rita Cosby

The "Real Rita was revealed" durning the 2000 election.
You could tell it broke her heart when somebody told her when the SCOUS stopped the conting in FL.

And then there's Carol Simpson of ABC...Smug and snooty acting, even when moderating a debate. During Clinton/Dole '96, she darn near made me wanna puke from her disgusted looking, partisan attitude against Dole...It was EXTREMELY visible on-camera!

[bonesmccoy]

How can you say that about Rita Cosby?

I think Rita does good newsmaker interviews. She's alot better than the girl they have on F&Friends in the AM. They need to give Rita MORE air time with her interviews. She has Baba Wawa beat hands down.

Fox News has the best-looking network babes

By a wide margin!! And best looking female guests, too. ;-)

She made a career decision, leave her alone. Who wouldn't leave their current job for 3x's the salary and a better time slot?

She broke her contract. The judge may have ruled it legal, but it was sleazy on her part, especially when it was Roger Ailes who rescued her from total obscurity in the first place. If she'd just gone into his office and laid it on the line - "Hey, CNN just dumped this huge offer in my lap, Rog..." - he'd probably have let her out of her deal (since it was obvious from the beginning that her new show wasn't going to be a threat to Fox & Friends) and that would have been the end of it. Instead she just jumped and made a grandiose announcement. It was practically spitting in the face of everyone at FNC.

If they were engaging in true harassment - stalking her, somehow making it impossible for her show to get on the air - I'd have sympathy. Merely knocking her for screwing them over? Fair game, IMHO.

Brit: We go now to Paula Zahn. Paula.

Paula: ........................

Brit: Paula?

Paula: ...........................Oh oh I know! I'm blonde!

Brit: .......ummmmm........

Paula: Yeah yeah! And do you know how I get my hair blonde? I bleach it! Yeah!

Brit: ..............Paula Zahn's analysis, everyone. Back to the studio.

Donna Fiducia...

Man, I still remember her from the 66 WNBC-AM N-Copter back in the mid-'80s, when Howard Stern would harass her every day. I never knew how cute she was until she joined FNC.

The local cable company has been running ads for Paula Zahn's CNN show on the Fox News Channel. I've been wondering why, I guess this explains it.

Not necessarily. A lot of local cable companies have relatively rudimentary commercial-insert machines, and can only run the same sets of ads across all channels. Plus they do just like real TV stations do, and shove in house ads when there's a spot they haven't sold. Thus Fox ads end up on CNN, occasionally CNN ads will end up on Fox, etc. I really doubt Fox paid to intentionally have their ads inserted into CNN's local ad slots. After all, they have no need to, with their ratings. Heh heh....

"...we have the F+Friends on Sat. mornings sometimes for a few minutes and, frankly my dears, it stinks. It's simply pathetic. It can only appeal to adults regressed to a 2d grade level."

It's a different group of hosts on weekends. And I agree with your "2nd grade level" assessment - the two guys, particularly, shall we say, failed to impress me with their intellectual abilities. A couple of weeks ago they got a new guy in from Philadelphia who seems to be a lot better... give it another shot.

"The "Real Rita was revealed" durning the 2000 election.

I will NEVER forget that moment, since it caused me a very depressed night of non-sleep... I can still remember Rita's excited exclamation "this looks like a big win for Al Gore!" when the ruling came down (even though it turned out to be just the opposite!). And I agree - it seemed obvious at that moment where her sympathies lie.

F&F weekend is a sad shadow of F&F during the week. If I were Steve, E.D., and Brian, I'd be crusading to change the name of the weekend show.

As to pukey paula, paula=greta. I don't care who does the 10:00 Fox show, neither one is worth beans.

So, does Roger Ailes have a thing for blondes?

Hmmm... Brings new meaning to "FOX" News... don't it guys?

I dunno guys, politics or not. I'd eagerly pay for dinner to chat with her for an evening :)

God bless America!

[bonesmccoy]

sure... "LAUREN GREEN!"

[doosee]

Remember when CNN ran the ads promoting Paula emphasizing how sexy she was, and the ads were pulled after Zahn was appalled at them.....

[billhilly]

Paula Zahn in a freshly painted outhouse? What a turn-on. A very good suggestion for her new studio. #&^)

[bonesmccoy]

Sorry man... I can't find any cool pics of Steve Doocy (lol)... I'm a guy and I don't want to ruin that great run of photos :) LOL

[WKB]

Rita's excited exclamation "this looks like a big win for Al Gore!"

I did not remember her words but I knew where her heart was!

[bonesmccoy]

OK... one guy for "vixen"...

Hannity is ok.

and to compensate for that photo of Hannity, here's a real nice patriotic shot...
Kathy Ireland :)

No. You don't understand, its about WAR. Between the socialist propaganda and the truth

I have news for you: Most of the anchors at FNC are of the liberal persuasion...surprise!! surprise!! However, they also are well aware of the main demographics of their audience....(republican, male, white 18-45)It's not a coincidence that FOX has a ALOT of blonde female anchors. Let's face it, liberals are not watching this channel in droves like we are. So the staff adjusts themselves accordingly. Just look at Geraldo as a prime example. Yes, their main anchors like Tony Snow, Brit Hume, and O'Reilly may have conservative leanings, but the all the other newscasters are plucked from local ABC/NBC/CBS/Fox affiliates which are more than likely to be liberal. Remember when you stopped watching local news to watch Fox instead? Where do you think FNC gets it's newscasters from? Fox is enjoyable to watch, because their programming is inherently more interesting, faster moving, and not dry. You can thank Roger Ailes for that. He's the real brains behind the success to the Fox News Channel.
