[new yorker 77]

Brit Hume's interview with VP Dick Cheney attracted more than 2.1 million viewers on Wednesday night, making Special Report the #1 program on cable news.

The 6 p.m. time slot delivered 2,101,000 total viewers, including 513,000 in the 25-54 demographic. Hume beat O'Reilly by a few thousand viewers in P2+...

Cool.

It's a good day, any day, when O'Reilly is beaten.

Congrats brit.

[Bender2]

Looks like the reaction to the NYT's reporting... ..by Ann's millions of admirers that got Brit that crowd.

[meema]

Hume #1 always.

You can say that again, McGruff!

Great interview, Brit!

[fish hawk]

You're spaced out wrangler. O'Reilly is the number one in ALL cable news shows and has been for a long time. Brit is second. (not that Brit or anyone else couldn't top him for one night once in awhile)

[Cowboy Bob]

Would this be same network that Cafferty called that F-word network or something to that effect? Sorry Cafferty, I guess the viewers don't feel the same as you.

Cafferty looks like he is in a constant state of constipation.

Why should I do that? Do you honestly believe Brits 27 year old drug free, problem free, mental illness free son who had everything going for him who decided to suddenly commit suicide should never be questioned? Name one reason why his son committed suicide and I`ll ask the mod to remove my post. The fact is Brits son is one in a long line of people who have questioned the Clintons who have ended up dead by gunshot. Maybe rather than question me, you should question why the media bends over backwards to accommodate democrats, why for example a former Vice President who committed blatant treason on foreign soil this past week is getting less press than a Vice President who had an accident. Read the facts about the suicide of Brits son and get back to me.

Let me start you on your research.....

Show me some examples where a 27 year old guy who drinks is "ashamed" enough by that to kill himself. It`s all BS! It`s like killing yourself because you smoke cigarettes,

[Hildy]

What on Earth are you two talking about? Brit's on commited suicide...I have no idea where you get this idea that he was gunned down....

[Hildy]

Stop being an ass. His son committed suicide. You obviously know nothing about alcoholism. Please don't embarrass yourself anymore.

[Space Wrangler]

I'm talking time slots in cable news. Brit's show is consistently #1 night after night in his time slot from 6 to 7.

Give me a break! I know zillions of alcoholics, myself included. Why do you think I drive a taxi? I have declared bankruptcy 2 times, I have lost a quarter of a million bucks in savings in divorce proceedings, I am divorced two times, I pay child support so much that I have to work 7 days a week, yet not once has suicide ever entered into my mind. If anything, booze throws your mind in the opposite direction of suicide. If you were straight I can imagine going towards suicide because of taking problems too seriously. I don`t know ANY alcoholics who ever committed suicide, yet I know about 3 straight people who have. The fact is people in their 20`s drink, and they drink their arses off, but they sure as hell don`t commit suicide. Brit may accept drinking as the reason, but I sure as hell don`t especially after examining the Clinton history of suicides.

I love Special Report with Brit Hume, however, I have a real problem now. Mark Levin is on at 6 too. Well, I guess I'll have to watch SR at midnight!

[GOP_Proud]

Please, how about just leave it alone out of respect for Brit? There's something you aren't getting here. You have mail.

[Wolfstar]

Didn`t Brits son get whacked by Clinton

Brit's son committed suicide some years ago. It was a horrible thing, one which no parent will ever truly get over.

[Hildy]

Well, that explains why you're so crazy, but it doesn't explain why you're so ignorant. You don't know any alcoholics who have committed suicide? Please. I'm a recovering alcoholic and I've known quite a few who have. You really are an alcolohic...you know how I know that? You see the world only through things you can relate to. Please, you're really looking foolish and I beg you to stop.

[GOP_Proud]

I guess drinking yourself to death is not considered suicide anymore.

[Wolfstar]

Show me some examples where a 27 year old guy who drinks is "ashamed" enough by that to kill himself.

You're a total idiot.

[fish hawk]

Oops, sorry!

[Screamname]

Name one famous alcoholic who has committed suicide, name one. I can name dozens who have died from alcoholism, but you will be hard pressed to find any who have committed suicide from alcholism. The fact is, it doesn`t happen. Check out the stats on suicide. The facts are alcoholics are less likely to commit suicide than non-alcoholics. Like I said, check the stats.

[Political Junkie Too]

Name one famous alcoholic who has committed suicide, name one.

Hunter S. Thompson.
