This is a memorable FBN, Imus In The Morning commentator Dagen McDowell Quote, about what the present Government is seeking to do to US.
 
You don’t want to think if you get in bed with Uncle Sam, he is going to strip you naked, chain you to the bed, leave you there…………

LMAO: the other "blog" is getting spammed big time
 
I watched "24" last night and noticed the cameos. Since the season just started, I wonder if there will be more

I'm glad 24 is back on.  I watched and enjoyed the cameos. I agree with Chris, I hope there are more too.  I vote for Bret Baier.  NY's Fox Five got some serious attention too.  Two more hours tonight!

As ridiculous as it can be, I still count '24' as one of my faves. I noticed a Fox hater reviewed it and slammed them for having Jack Bauer watch Fox News with 'right-wing blowhard Monica Crowley' on the screen. Of course they didn't mention Bob Beckel. Hey, that's sort of a template for how the newshounds write too!
 
'24' should have all the good guys watching Fox, and all the terrorists tuned to MSNBC. But then MSNBC would have more viewers than they get in real life.

I just noticed on Olby watch you did a post about Olby lying about Rush. Thanks for using my tip and another's-That one was very easy for me to check out because I was on the computer when Olby said that so I was able to quickly check it out and find it was a lie.

A laugh out loud moment.  During the intro to The Factor, there is a clip of Conan O'Brien slamming NBC saying (my paraphrase)
 
NBC thinks I'm such an idiot, now they want me to run the network.
 
With what Zucker has allowed happen to MSNBC, it still seems like it would be to NBC's benefit to put the li'l feller in charge.

If she means Fox Broadcasting by "Fox", it would be great if it were Conan.  For FNC/FBN, I hope it's not Dobbs.  Do you have any predictions J$?

No clue. But I don't think it's Dobbs. At least I hope it isn't. Maybe Steven A Smith will sign up as an FNC contributor.  He's already working for Fox Sports.

Beckel was not exactly a happy camper on Hannity.  Once again, it's Beckel vs. 2 repubs and hannity on the Great American Panel.  Hannity really needs to change that.

I agree. There should always be two people on the panel who disagree with Hannity. Of course even one is more than Olbermann would allow, but that's no excuse.
