That’s sad. Is it AIDs?

We have noticed his rapid weight loss the last couple months. He looks frail and very sickly. I wonder if his lifestyle had anything to do with this?

[C. Edmund Wright]

I saw him (by accident, I never watch on purpose) the other day and thought the same thing. I figured it was too much tanning and other efforts to continue to look 21 years old. Maybe it is an illness.

[RetSignman]

I’ve noticed that too but I thought it was because I rarely watch him.

[McGruff]

My mother in law made a comment about that over a month ago. She must be more observant than I.

Is liberalism a disease? Sorry, first thing that came to mind. I seriously don't wish anything bad on Shep, other than getting fired.

I haven’t had TV in years, but when I did, I always thought he was strange looking. I mean, he wears more make-up than Cleopatra. I never knew what his deal was. Nothing against him, but I don’t “get it.”

You must be reading my mind! My husband and I had this conversation about 20 mins ago! I don’t wish illness on anyone, but swear he looks like he has a life threatening illness. They showed him back in 2009 the other night giving a newscast and he looked great. Looking at him now he has lost a ton of weight and aged.

Mrs Liberty has been noticing that for a month or more. I think it only makes sense: He has AIDS because he’s GAY. DUH.

[ladyvet]

For his own good he should quit. Really who cares?

[martinidon]

I thought the same thing when I saw him during the Christmas Holidays. Since I “occupy” a job I rarely get to see his news cast. The first thing I thought when I saw him was cancer and Tony Snow.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

He looks worse tonight than ever. Whatever is going on, I hope he recovers.

[Lazamataz]

Before / After Pictures pls?

[truthkeeper]

I have DEFINITELY noticed it too.

Could be some sort of stupid diet.

Seems the ‘in thing’ these days is to ‘diet’ yourself to the point of where you look like you just walked out of a concentration camp. There are several where I work.

[Dallas59]

He may be dieting?
