I cannot imagine why any women would want to work for the FN channel, unless hush money from the men working there is part of the contract.

journalist...or whatever he is...the best thing I've ever seen is the Triumph the Wonder Dog "interactions" with Hannity. Hannity is even an asshole to the dog puppet from the Conan o'Brien show.

I do think the Fox powers that be told him to lay off the Seth Rich story since he was wildly promoting that one awhile back, and the family was getting besieged by assholes. Ugh. That poor family -- forced to deal with the death of their son, then the raving lunatics of the Jones/Hannity sheeple conspiracy brigade.

Good thing dRumpf TV is ramping up, to fill the empty yawning hole in the rightie's propaganda endeavors, caused by fox's implosion.

Boris over at Sinclair and Eric's lovely wife will see to it that the base keeps getting properly misinformed.

Fox Business’ Eric Bolling Says President Obama Was ‘Chugging Forties’ Instead Of Going To Joplin

Fox Business host Eric Bolling really stepped in it Monday when, in the middle of a rant about a lack of leadership, he said that President Obama was busy “chugging forties” in Ireland, instead of going to tornado-ravaged Missouri. “Forty” is slang for a 40 oz. bottle of malt liquor (or beer), a mainstay of ghetto iconography.

And people drunk from malt liquor in the '80s. At the time I lived in Eugene, Oregon. It wasn't noted for its racial diversity. (In fact, it was big news when a Mexican restaurant opened there near Lawrence Street in, oh, '88 or so.)

Still associate it more with "poor" than with "ghetto". Then again, I don't pay attention to "ghetto iconography." The connection you see are those you're used to.

30. Wonder how much coke went up Bolling's nose in the 80s and 90s when he was Mr. Wall Street?

Aug 2017

But of course that's okay since it was coke, not crack, and Bolling only snorted coke with his white Wall Street buddies (this is my own pure speculation of course but given what we know now about Bolling's tendency to lie and project his own creepy issues)...

Fuck yeah that comment about Pres. Obama was creepy and racial. The allegations about the dick pics follows Bolling raving for years now about the evil of Anthony Weiner (and Bolling's endless comments about how attractive he finds Huma, which now seems even more creepy in light of these allegations)

with a vengeance (sorry I didn't actually intend to make a joke there), and he acted like he was just totally mind-boggled by Anthony Weiner embarrassing his wife (apparently saying over and over and over how beautiful Huma is, etc).

These people are just textbook examples of projection in the classic Freudian sense. What a pig.
