A very happy birthday, Brian, you delightful breath of fresh air, and many more.
Happy birthday, Brian. Nice shoes, in that runway shot.
I got cable a couple years ago. That was the first I heard of Brian. He started doing reports from Kuwait with the Coalition troops. He made it obvious that he was proud to 'chat' with the troops.
A while later, after his return to the States, Brian was interviewing some radical nitwit--Jeanane Garofalo. She was doing the typical liberal rant. Finally, having had enough of her guff, Brian lit in to her. It was so funny. Here, the 'sports guy' was literally chopping her arguments into little pieces. Garofalo didn't have the wits to respond. She got mad and steamed out. [Tape of that interview was on the FoxNews website. It is classic. Good job, Brian!]
Happy Birthday Brian...and Happy Birthday to my son who turns 17 today and is about to board a bus headed to South Padre Island for the annual band trip. It's going to be a quiet weekend for Mrs. Liberty and myself :o)
I love Brian Kilmeade! He is always well prepared to discuss any topic and poses some of the best questions on television.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN!
Happy Birthday Brian. You Rock! Please make E.D. leave and have more babies, she is whacked!

Okay, now, why you gonna disarm in the face of that? I think he is very well aware also that the hawks in this administration have no, they don't care at all whether he complies to arms inspections. In fact this administration is adamant that they don't want more inspections. And also, there's a myth that he kicked the inspectors out, UNSCOM inspectors out, who were very successful by the way. He kicked them out for spying, they were indeed spying, and then they went back in, and then Butler pulled them out before [drowned out]"
Kilmeade: "Okay, so you're -- Saddam must love you, and I'm sure he must-"
Garofalo: "Don't even, don't even try and do that inflammatory, I'm not a Saddam Hussein apologist."
Kilmeade: "No, I'm just, how do you feel that Saddam Hussein held up the protest last weekend and said 'Isn't that great news for us guys?'"
Garofalo: "No I don't think he said 'Isn't that great news.'"
Kilmeade: "He was saying it in Arabic."
-- Kilmeade: "They're still missing a hundred tons of anthrax and VX gas, where is it?"
Garofalo: "As far, okay. That's what you say. There is no proof or evidence that we're missing a hundred thousand tons of VX gas."
Kilmeade: "It's never been declared, and even Hans Blix himself says that Arab country kept better records than any Arab country that has ever seen, let alone Iraq itself."
Garofalo: "I actually, I disagree with you, I disagree with you."
Kilmeade: "You disagree with Hans Blix?"
Garofalo: "Yeah, first of all Hans Blix like I said has been much more positive about Iraq-"
Kilmeade: "Did you read Time magazine this week?"
Garofalo: "No I didn't. Did you read Foreign Affairs magazine this week? Did you read The Economist this week?"
-- Kilmeade: "So you just distrust this government inherently, you distrust Colin Powell when he sat there and said 'Here is intercepts of Iraqis trying to cover up nerve gas, you distrust that?"
Garofalo: "Yes I, first of all the British dossier, the British dossier was bogus and you know it."
-- Kilmeade: "Okay can I just quote you Thomas Friedman, January 22? He says 'What liberals fail to realize about war with Iraq is that it's not some distraction from the war on al-Qaeda. That is a bogus argument. Just because oil is at stake does not mean it's illegitimate. Though disarming is legitimate, the real prize is regime change. Faltering Arab states are churning out these terrorists, and that's the only way to stop them.'"
Garofalo: "Well if we want get Arab states that are churning out terrorists, there are certainly a whole lot of places we should be -- Saudi Arabia and Pakistan-"
Kilmeade: "So don't, unless we can do the whole Arab region, don't start it?"
-- Kilmeade: "You don't think those people deserve a shot at freedom?"
Garofalo: "Of course I do. And stop framing it that way. I absolutely believe-"
Kilmeade: "Then, what [inaudible] frame it? These people are going to be liberated, why don't they have a shot at being liberated? Why don't those people have a shot at liberation?"
Garofalo: "They do have a shot at being liberated. First of all, negotiating with Turkey sure isn't going to accomplish that. Turkey with one of the worst human rights records in the world by the way-"
-- Kilmeade: "Let me just, you know 60 Minutes, that right-wing organization, 60 minutes, here it is. He says, this is Mr. Sharistani [sp?]. This is the [drowned out] 60 Minutes."
Garofalo: "Why did you just say 60 Minutes, why did you just say '60 Minutes, that right-wing organization'?"
Kilmeade: "Because you've accused, you've accused this network of being a mouthpiece for the White House. So I don't want you to use this network-"
Garofalo: "Because it is. Because it is. Everybody that watches Fox News-"
Kilmeade: "How do you figure that? Did Dick Cheney leave talking points on my voice mail this morning?"
Garofalo: "Probably."
Kilmeade: "Yeah? I'm willing to play that back here."
Garofalo: "And I would say, and everybody knows that Roger Ailes, that everybody knows that Roger Ailes is in touch with the White House all the time."
Kilmeade: "And what has Geraldo Rivera been in the past, and what has Alan Colmes been in the past? And do you ever watch any of these shows?”
Garofalo: "Yes I do."
Kilmeade: "And who is actually an independent. Is it Bill O'Reilly?"
Garofalo: "I would say that Fox News is one of the most conservative networks, and that's-"
Kilmeade: "What does that say about the country when they made us number one?"
Garofalo: "I would say -- cable news? It's still less, it's still-"
Kilmeade: "Is cable news not that nice?
Garofalo: "Yes, it, cable's-"
Kilmeade: "Is that not good? Is that beneath you?"
Garofalo: "It's guys like you that are Fox. You. You're combative, you are combative-"
Kilmeade: "Is that beneath you? No because I'm not going to let you sit in there and get off because you're a celebrity."
Garofalo: "What? Why am I, what the hell does me being a celebrity have to do with anything?”
Kilmeade: "Well that's the only reason you're-"
Garofalo: "What does my occupation have to do with anything?"
Kilmeade: "That's the only reason you're here."
Garofalo: "Exactly, so why don't you book somebody you have more respect for in the anti-war movement?"
