There’s a reason that Rush Limbaugh calls O’Gasbag “Ted Baxter.”

Always liked Brit Hume and having him around on Special Report was great. Glad he’s sticking around in a reduced role. Frankly, he’s far too young to retire. 65 is middle-aged!

Did Brit have more than one child? His son Sandy killed himself.

...continuing....and have boob jobs, tummy tucks, lip jobs, nose jobs, and the list goes on and on... they have the Robert Palmer girls in blonde....
But most of all, after the shunning of Fred by Fox, the E.D. Hill episode along with their constant prattle on Hillary (who I despise), Brit is all I watch. After Brit is gone, there will be very little Fox news in my home.
At least with CNN, I know where they stand.

You know what- for the longest time I couldn’t stand her- but after listening to her I discovered she’s very bright and level-headed. She has kind of an unfortunate voice- and I don’t care for the whole banter thing she does with Hemmer. They’re both good and if the network would LET THEM- they could do serious and more in-depth coverage.

Maybe you've described a tandem that people will watch. Two very attractive female lawyers who could star in movies but do TV. Duh!
The men on Fox are not going to pass for the savvy, worldly and fatherly, Mr. Hume who is an icon. They are way short off his mark. So, go for a younger demographic but don't compromise on the smarts or the VERY conservative credentials.
We don't need “cuties” who cut and run to MSNBC. That tandem could definitely work. A future answer to “Huntley and Brinkley?” And Patti Ann Brown has the most mellifluous delivery on TV.

This is really sad. Hume is the Ronald Reagan of broadcast journalism.

[There is no reason for me to want to watch FOX after Brit leaves.]
I can’t think of a Fox personality who can replace him. With our luck it will be Shep Smith, Bwahahahahahaha

On my FNC afilliate, Redeye is followed by a rerun of Brit's 'Special Report'. The look on Brit's face at the beginning is funny. I know that he wasn't watching Redeye before his show, but he has a smirk or funny grimace, at least it appears that way and cracks me up. Have you ever noticed that? (Maybe I should limit my breakfast to two beers.) ha ha
