Why Is Brit Hume So Angry?

[SoDesuKa]

Brit Hume acts like he's mad at the world all the time. Wasn't he at one time a respected newsman? I think he turned sour when his son died. He sure has his grump on. Any idea why?

[TheFarseer]

1. because everything he says turns out to be wrong? n/t

[BlueCollar]

2. his buddy Larry Craig

two-timed him?

3. If you had promoted the bush agenda faithfully for years &

looked like droopy dog you would be pretty moody too.

[tularetom]

4. You'd be angry too

if you had that big ugly wart thingy on your face.

[SoCalDem]

5. Because the right wingers see their "base" evaporating

and yet they are locked into the same ole schtick..day after day after day.:)

[mwb970]

29. But they were angry even when they were on top!

For years, Republicans and rightie wackos controlled every part of the government, plus the corporations, the churches, and the military. Despite this, blowhards like Limbaugh and Hannity were sputtering with rage every single day, screaming into the microphone about the awful godless evil liberals.

Now that they're losing, they're still mad as hell over everything. At least now they have a reason, as you mentioned.

The fact is, fear and rage don't just underlie the right-wing message, they are the right-wing message. Years and years of that eventually show up in their facial appearance, as we see with Brit. (You doubt this? I give you Jean Schmidt.)

31. Anger fuels their fire.. they have to be angry.. They have NO smart

solutions to ANYTHING, so they have to make people afraid and angry to agree to their lamebrained schemes..

NOTHING pleases them,.. they are angry robots.

They ran the place for years and still did not accomplish their goals? why not? They NEED those unresolved issues to keep getting elected:)

32. Huckabee is trying to buck the anger trend.

He frequently mentions that although he is a "true conservative", he's not angry about it.

I take this as a reference to the image of the Angry Right.

6. hemorrhoids?

it`s the edge he has to have to stay ahead of the talent at fox news

[HughBeaumont]

7. He's a Republican. That's what they DO.

Ramp up the fear. Keep the citizens dumb. Make the Bewsh Admin cronies tons o Cash. Get a cut.

Lather, Rinse, Repeat . . .

[pscot]

8. Hemorrhoids

Ya heard it hear first.

[TreasonousBastard]

9. Some drunk said "Hey, it's Lurch! Can I have...

your autograph for my grandparents?"

[yourout]

10. erectile disfunction.

[gratuitous]

11. Gotta be an act

After all, the last six years have made him a VERY wealthy man. Unless, of course, there's more to life than simply the accumulation of material goods. In which case, he may indeed be quite angry to find out that he bartered his soul for a bag full of trinkets.

[Olney Blue]

12. He may have considerable self-loathing- afterall, he lies all the time.

[orleans]

13. because he has a little ... you know. n/t

[Poiuyt]

14. You'd be mad too if your face was melting before your very own eyes

[Buzz Clik]

15. I think it's because he sucks and he knows it.

He'll always suck and he works for a network that sucks.

[CubFan7125]

16. Not Gook Looking

Because his face actually looks like that.

[Lucinda]

17. Cause his mama named him Brit?

[onehandle]

18. A respected newsman? Who ever thought that? nt

[Wilms]

20. Actually, at one point we would have felt good about him.

As a reporter for Jack Anderson's column, Hume uncovered an internal corporate memo indicating that the 1972 Republican National Convention had been underwritten by ITT Corporation and that, in exchange, an antitrust case had been conveniently dropped by the Nixon White House shortly thereafter. Later, Anderson published a series of classified documents indicating the Nixon administration, contrary to its public pronouncements, had tipped in favor of Pakistan during the 1971 India-Pakistan war. After those revelations, Anderson and his staff, including Hume, his wife and children were placed under surveillance by the Central Intelligence Agency.<2> The agents code-named Hume "eggnog" and observed his family going about their daily business. This came to light during the Ford administration during Congressional hearings, and more recently as the result of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

24. Hume actually investigating and reporting on coverups by an

administration, my how times changes now its the other way around and he helps in covering up the big stinking pile of $^%$ thats in the whitehouse and he must love the job to have done it for all these years.
Guess you could say he turned to the darkside of the force.

[ladym55]

19. If you saw THAT face in the mirror ...

And had to deliver that "news" on a daily basis ...

Wouldn't you be grumpy, too?

Didn't Hanna Barbera base a dog character on Brit Hume??? :shrug:

[Judi Lynn]

21. He was a hate-filled a-hole, long before the time his son killed himself.

He has been downright vicious for ages. Loathesome person, and not terribly bright.

[Cheap_Trick]

22. maybe he's constipated

cuz he's certainly full of shit

[masmdu]

23. Because he feels responsible for his gay son's suicide....?

Just speculation but maybe deep in his heart (assumption that he has one) he knows that the right-wing condemnation of homosexuality and his dogged support of such thinking played a roll in his gay son's suicide. He feels responsible and the bitterness is obvious.

[gatorboy]

33. The death alone would make a parent bitter.

Let's not be callous.

[Snarkturian Clone]

25. He's a fucking nut.

Maybe it's because he's an Amaarukan patriot with the name "Brit".

It's funny to watch him on fox news sunday defending even the most ridiculous white house policies, ones that even bill kristol thinks are bullshit.

And yes, I watch fox news sunday. I don't discriminate on sundays.

[NuttyFluffers]

26. because i routinely astrally project and pee in his cornflakes.

it's part of my contribution to the world. you're all welcome.

:7

[Perry Logan]

27. He's mad because his face is falling off. This happens to a lot of wingers.

[youthere]

28. The foreskin keeps creeping up around his neck and it itches something fierce.

[KharmaTrain]

30. He Was Angry At ABC

I think the only time this guy smiles is when he sees small animals tortured. I recall his work at ABC during the Clinton years and his hate dripping at that time...he was a natural for Murdoch when he started up his propaganda agency.

It was fun to see him get bashed around by Sam Donaldson on the old David Brinkley show.

[Horse with no Name]

34. Cause his Momma dresses him funny?

:shrug:
