'Record' doesn't play to Van Susteren's strengths

Considering how common plastic surgery is in the TV industry, it's startling how much media mileage Greta Van Susteren has gotten out of a simple eye job

[billorites]

How delightfully catty.

One can't mention Laurie Dhue in an op-ed piece and not post a picture of her. Although I did love the line about her in it.

[onedoug]

No E-Meter for the face, eh?

[Warren]

Doctors should have fixed her mouth, enable her to keep it shut part of the time.

Go back to tasting cheese !

I think she's more suited to her previous role, chasing Tweety Bird around the house.

[TwoStep]

**LOL**

[Warren]

What was the line?

[dead]

Still, while her hair is a bit more stylish and the makeup a bit heavier, she has hardly submitted to the full Fox-glam treatment — certainly not compared with the heavily lip-glossed Laurie Dhue, who looked as if she were on her way to a cocktail party when she was dragooned into doing the show's news breaks.

That sentence alone screamed “gay man” as loudly as any Michael Musto column.

[billorites]

I'd Dhue her.

simple eye job?!? It looks like she had much more than that done!! She looks like she just stepped off the set of Star Trek and she was playing a Vulcan. She just needs to have her ears done to complete the ET look.

USA Today just doesn't get it. They can't keep their readers and they accuse Fox of stating facts "impossible to verify". I suppose they didn't know anyone who voted for Bush too.

[FirstFlaBn]

She previously reminded me of George Jetson's dog, Astro, with that crooked smile. Sorry Astro, no insult intended.

[Pipers]

ROTF and completely true. I was wondering if anyone would point out that Her Clintonkneepadness had had a lot more than her eyes fixed. She looks like a freak. Then again, her new face matches her soul. This is one major surgical disaster and if I were ol'Greta, I'd sue. On second thought, could we get the junior senator from New York interested in the maaaavelous surgeon?

[Aurelius]

BUMP

[NicR]

I find Greta Insufferable utterly loathesome, no matter how many millions of dollars worth of plastic surgery she's had. She's a smarmy Clintonphiliac and Scientology cultist and a trial lawyer. That's a hat trick of sleaze. I'm boycotting Fox when she's on. Who's with me?

[My Favorite Headache]

I got your back Huggie Bear..Fox not on here after 9 pm. I can't take Alan Colmes

[Pipers]

I am. Whoraldo and now that repulsive clintonite.
