Here is the response from Freedom Alliance regarding the charges from Debbie Schlussel's recent posting.
 
Gee, you would think that the Hannity Haters would do a FULL research analysis before convicting the Freedom Alliance and Hannity.
 
It's all out there.

Ya think we will be getting some retractions from the likes of Schlussel, News Hounds, Media Matters, Daily Kos or Ed Schultz? Crickets.

I was never a fan of Amanpour but she was one of 'The Faces' of CNN.
 
Another one gone, if Cooper goes you might as well turn out the lights on CNN ever coming back soon.

Hey, they will always have Larry King   
 
Of course his funeral will be held right on the set.

I am on the desk on the hotel where I work and I will miss Mrs. Amanpour on CNN International which is where most of the time she worked on television and not most of the time in the US and I won't get to see her much anymore and she is much better than anyone who is on television in the US news that is so it is my loss.

Yeah I know. He just can't stay away. Maybe he'll have a review of Amanpour's new show before it airs.

Re: "Laurie Dhue resurfaces...on Fox!": I'm sorry I missed it.  What is she doing these days?

I'm reminded of her whenever I see FBN's Sandra Smith.

Johnny, do you have video of Laurie on Geraldo last night? We'd love to see it. I had been watching FNC for two hours in a row at that point and was sleepy, so I turned the TV off.

She was there to discuss the Tiger Woods / Sandra Bullock flaps. It was more notable for Laurie's presence than for the actual content. Could post the vid but am very pressed for time today, and it just isn't that compelling a conversation. Geraldo did suggest that Laurie will make additional appearances on his show.

That's fine.  It is good to know that she will be making more appearances.  I notices that foxnews.com didn't add any video from last night's show yet, so they could add that segment.

Glad to see' The Dhue' back at FNC, but Johnny really! You think you could come up with a better screen grab?

Re: FNC party
 
This is just sheer busybody interest on my part, but I'd love to see a picture of O'Reilly with his wife.
 
I know he has a young-for-dad's-age daughter (I'm not critical of that, my father was in his 30's when he married my mother) and I've wondered if they have any other children and if his wife has career, etc.

That picture was with Lieberman's wife, not O'Reilly's.
