Now Fox News can hire her to replace their left-wing newscaster, Shepherd Smith.

If I got fired every time I flipped Omoslem the finger, I’d get fired every 3 hours.

Compared to Shep she probably wouldn't be effeminate enough...

“Sources close to the channel had previously tried to defuse the row by claiming that the newsreader had believed she was off camera at the time and merely providing a voice-over for a report. She had raised her middle finger as a jokey retort to studio technicians who had been trying to put her off her stride, they said.”

See. It was just a coincidence that she flipped the bird at the precise moment she mentioned Obama.

And it is also a coincidence when Obama rubs his nose with his middle finger just as he mentions his opposition. Funny how often coincidences happen.

I saw that clip a couple of days ago and wondered ... is there a real-time translation to go along with the video ?

Damn shame...what about the “journalists” who worship Hussein? Can they get fired, too?

Close to what I was thinking. Teach her English, most likely already knows it, and have her report from Moscow. Better yet, she needs to be retained by The Blaze.

Why? She was only expressing what millions of Americans fel. I’d invite her to make a series of speeches for the TEA Party.

More unemployment from Barack Hussein ... this time he is directly responsible for increasing global unemployment.

She might not have been able to help it. Many people’s fingers have been stuck in that mode since Obozo sullied the White House.

Perhaps this good woman should get disability pay.

If you worked for me and didn't, I would fire you.

Off to enjoy the wife and kids, now that everyone is awake.

A Happy Thanksgiving to all

A prime opportunity for Fox to hire her to lead a new Moscow News Bureau!

Her only mistake was not touching her lip with her finger like Bammy does when he flips everyone off!
