All aboard the fail train!
All of Hitler’s cronies jockeyed for position as his heir when he was down in the bunker. Their infighting was vicious. And it was for leadership of nothing.
Well now they can pivot from De Plane! to De Mudslide?
Gonna be hard to pull CNN back from them National Enquirer type ratings...
Tapper has actually reported the news a few times over the years. I should think that would eliminate him.
GO TAPPER! (I know his Mom.)
I don’t much about Tapper but Lemon is appropriately named.
The way Fox News is going they will hire that puke Morgan before long.
They should just run Beverly Hillbillies, or Sponge Bob reruns if they want any sort of ratings
Peirs Morgan left?? Damn. I guess I should have watched that channel. Oh, well. Back to washing my cats...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0DlV8mZTd8&feature=youtu.be
