Johnny, why don't you post a link to Sarah Palin's speech supporting H. Senator Saxby Chambliss?
Those hacks at MSNBS carried almost her full speech. I am sure they were looking for something to pick and rant about beautiful and smart VP Sarah.
I just wish Fox News had been there. I had to see her through MSNBS. Billary was also all over the Communist News.
Much appreciated, Johnny.

Palin is a failed VP candidate....America has moved on....She's yesterdays news.
When FNC stop airing her...You know it's true.

AlabamaDem, guess you missed the major turnouts in Georgia today as Sarah rallied the Saxby base. Let's just see how the vote comes out tomorrow before you declare anyone yesterdays news, just your opinion not fact! BTW, Martin the Dem candidate was campaigning with Ludicris, I kind of like that partnership here in Georgia. Not one cable news outlet has stopped airing her, not even Messnbc!

Oh no, she's tomorrow's news too.
BTW - Douglas Kennedy, of THE Kennedy's, just did a story about Palin on FNC. Very fair, very balanced. What we've all come to expect from America's most highly rated Cable News Channel.

Nice win for King in the 25-54 demo 26th Nov (9pm-10pm)...Maddow easily came in 2nd....With H&C a distant 3rd.
Now that Obama hasn't called on FNC to ask a question in any of his 5 press conferences to date....I predict foot stamping will vigorously start tomorrow...Kicked off by the infamous 3 on their curvy thing.

Hey Ashley, don't you know Douglas Kennedy is part of the non-stop Republican propaganda on Fox?

I love it how libs crow that CNN and MSNBC beat Hannity and Colmes in "the demo" on a night when Hannity wasn't there!
Yes Johnny, you are correct. Nothing but repub propaganda from Fox. Did you notice that FNC uses some "RED" color in its graphics???? True, more proof of a right wing conspiracy.

Brian, Brian, I want to say I think you need to stop making fun of that couple that didnt kiss til they got married: I think its sweet.
Nice to know the Friends mock their guests during the breaks...Thanks Kirsten for the inside info.
There was a segment either yesterday or today...When a young boy was humiliated by his mum for stealing...Doocy was astonished that they (the friends) weren't naming the boy on live tv to humiliate him even more....Mind-boggling.

AlabamaDem, your carry on sentences and non cable news, mind boggling tripe is of interest to only geeks like you. Keep to the cable news subject and spare us the ilberal garbage that always comes with the territory. But keep trying as I am amused by the verbel chum.

Hey david and AD, don't insult geeks like me by equating them all with "mind boggling tripe".
Hey AD, I see the mayor of your state's largest city is suffering the same fate as Kwame here.

No, like every other person in the world with guests, customers, clients, and family members, when they're out of earshot, F&F staff hold little prayer meetings on their behalf.
Johnny, where do ankle biting idiots like this come from? Please don't say "Alabama"...

>Johnny, where do ankle biting idiots like this come from? Please don't say "Alabama"...<
I'll give an answer first, Cece. Do you know anyone from Alabama that refers to their mothers as "mum"? I apologize in advance if that turns out to be the case. I don't know anyone from that state. But "mum" is the word in the U.K., which is where our old friend HF/[some pot-related moniker]. So, AlabamaDem, not to go off topic, but which team do you prefer, Alabama or Auburn? And are you worried about Florida against the Tide in Saturday's SEC Championship?

Johnny, if it were a matter of economic policy, or defense policy, etc etc...I wouldn't refer to someone as being an idiot merely because I did not concur.
However, when it comes to the silliest of nitpicking merely in order to nitpick-- yes, when you do that you are an idiot.
And you know who you are.

I'm sorry, Johnny. AD, even though we disagree completely, you're welcome to comment.
Michael Wolff will be on "Countdown" tomorrow night to join Krazy Keith in piling on the evil Fox. I guess this makes for a second Wolff Man on OlbyPlanet.

Mike, since I live in Michigan I've worked with Canadians in many jobs. They also call their mothers "mum". Just yesterday a workmate of mine said it and I pretended like I didn't understand him and everyone else played along.
However, AD does have other mannerisms that mimic HF such as the ideas separated by ellipses (...) and the commenting on ratings whenever FNC loses in some niche demographic.

Well, I use ellipses fairly often too. Although my mother died when I was a baby, I wouldn't have ever called her "mum", and I'm certain that the vast majority of Alabamians wouldn't call their mamas that either.

Apparently, pointing out similarities to other people indicates paranoia.

One has only to have spent some time with the trolls on Olbermann Watch (as well as JD'sP) to understand that the irony of these comments and what they reveal about the integrity of the person making them, is quite beyond the discernment of this man.
