Brit Hume is an American Treasure

And Juan Williams is a national embarassment.
I get so agitated when this A-hole opens his mouth that I have to mute the TV.

I don't understand why they keep Juan on there, other than to try to bring balance. When Brit debates him, it's like genius debating the 'it takes a village' idiot.

In Juan Williams defence

Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-End Movements, and Culture of Failure That Are Undermining Black America--and What We Can Do About It (Hardcover)
by Juan Williams
http://www.amazon.com/Enough-Dead-End-Movements-Undermining-America/dp/0307338231/sr=8-1/qid=1169416764/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-5338916-4189726?ie=UTF8&s=books

From Publishers Weekly
When Bill Cosby addressed a 50th-anniversary celebration of Brown v. Board of Education, he created a major controversy with seemingly inoffensive counsel ("begin with getting a high school education, not having children until one is twenty-one and married, working hard at any job, and being good parents"). Building from Cosby's speech, NPR/Fox journalist Williams offers his ballast to Cosby's position. Williams starts with the question, "Why are so many black Americans, people born inside the gates of American opportunity, still living as if they were locked out from all America has to offer?" His answers include the debacle of big-city politics under self-serving black politicians; reparations as "a divisive dead-end idea"; the parlous state of city schools "under the alliance between the civil rights leaders and the teachers' unions"; and the transformation of rap from "its willingness to confront establishment and stereotypes" to "America's late-night masturbatory fantasy." A sense of the erosion of "the high moral standing of civil rights" underlies Cosby's anguish and Williams's anger. Politically interested readers of a mildly conservative bent will find this book sheer dynamite.
