Get back to me when Lawrence Kudlow is on top of Erin Burnett.
Mush mouth Al Not-so-Sharp is dieing a slow rating death .He’s a freaking ‘clown.’
L.Glavin,
The two of them need to go and pronto. I can’t decide which one is worse and it may be a tie. From her first night on my T.V., I watched Erin and promptly changed the channel. No talent, nasty and shrill; At least that is my opinion, however, I’m happy that other people here enjoy her show. Cheers!
Low rating for Al Sharpton.. what kool aid you are drinking?.. that is pretty darn good for 6pm.. he is consistant… try again
Andies
To Fox News watchers, msnbc haters, if you are lower than Fox News then you are a drooler. “Fox News rules, MSNBC drools”. Someone actually said that in here a couple weeks back. Just as bad as msnbc watchers that complain that fox news is unfair and biased. If you watch one or the other, you can’t call the other one names…..they both are about on par…
Andies,
I’m not drinking the ‘Raceist hating kool-aid ‘ that Al spits out of his mush month.Watching Al is like watching the Three Stooges, Benny Hill and Looney tunes all together,funny as hell.
racist not raceist typo …better correct the typo before Suik points it out.
Fox news has more viewers..so what… who gives a rats butt?.. More viewers does not = quality.. Just means conservatives need their ideas spoon fed to them by hannity and such.. We liberals are outside enjoying life, not sitting by the tube hanging on every word some person says. And eveytime this news rating its posted.. you guys are like “woooooo Fox news rules, we win again”.. Sorry but you look idiotic eveytime.. Do you get a prize if Fox News on top…? Get a life…
@Andies
Sounds like sour grapes from a loser lover. I can understand why you’d rather be outside than watching your progressive icon msnbc, nobody wants to watch it. Same reason why only 5% of talkradio shows are progressive. Even progressives would rather listen to conservative talkradio.
racist not raceist typo …better correct the typo before Suik points it out.
So why do you have so many names? This is obviously someone using a sock puppet. If you say that, then I’ve obviously called one of your other names out on being unable to spell. I only call it out when it’s CLEARLY someone who is unable to spell, not a typo like raceist and racist. More along the lines to someone who comes in here and types looser instead of loser on MULTIPLE occasions.
Andies is a Sharpton fan! Dumb dumb dumb Liberal.
No blather.
Yet another sock puppet?
“Sounds like sour grapes from a loser lover.”
Did you really just say that? You buddy need to step back and realize how childish you sound….
Rev. Al had Rep. Alan Grayson on his program. I love Grayson!!!
” we do not need another man running for President to one up his daddy”
“we do not need someone that wants to BE something ….we need someone that wants to DO something”
Sharpton is great. Deal with it
@andies….. Quality not quantity….. Fox is entertainment and that tends to attract people that turn the tv on to be entertained…..real news and facts tend to not be as dramatic or as laughable….but as most folks know that embrace truth and facts know that Fox News is Bull$hit. That’s why they call us the elite. Since when was seeking truth and being informed accurately a bad thing?
Mourning Joe gets consistently LOW ratings, how long will he last?
WHO CARES that FOX gets HIGHEST RATINGS??? Go ask the Suits who cry in their
beer as they try to figger how THEY could get HIGH RATINGS! (yuk yuk)
Al Sharpie’s numbers are FALLING and he can’t get ‘em up! ba-bye, Al.
Tea party a-hole just keeps it coming…
Allen West’s ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’ Remarks Backfire Bigtime
Yesterday on the House floor, Whackadoodle Poster Boy Allen West added to his treasure trove of inanities. The man who brought us gems like “If Joseph Goebbels was around, he’d be very proud of the Democrat Party,” and “I believe there’s about 78 to 81 members of the Democrat Party who are members of the Communist Party,” now adds this soon-to-be classic:

“Under my administration …
we’ve added enough oil and gas pipeline to circle the Earth and then some.”
Barack Obama
How accurate is this statement?

BEWARE: Glenn Beck’s Web Site TheBlaze Hosts Computer Virus
Anyone foolish enough to visit a web site run by Glenn Beck now has something additional to worry about. Norton’s Internet Security software is warning that Beck’s TheBlaze “news” site is host to a computer virus that it describes as “a serious security threat.” Perhaps this is related to the threat that Beck has been [...]

Hey Betty
CNBC SPANKS FBN…..guess that’s something to really celebrate…eh?
Hi, Jeff. Hope your listings are doing well.

IL Governor Quinn: “Our Rendezvous With Reality Has Arrived”
Boston H.
“Governor Pat Quinn just announced that Illinois’ day of reckoning is here. In spite of raising corporate taxes by 30% and personal income taxes by 67%, Illinois’ unemployment rate increased faster than any other state last year and their pension fund remains the most underfunded, sending the state spiraling toward deeper and irreparable insolvency.
Quinn raised personal income taxes 67 percent (from 3 percent to 5 percent), adding about $1,040 to the tax burden of a family of four earning $60,000.Illinois’ unemployment rate increased faster than any other state’s in 2011. Its pension system is the nation’s most underfunded, and the state has floated bond issues to finance pension contributions
The Illinois Policy Institute, a limited-government think tank, in a report cheekily titled “Another $54 Billion!?” argues that in addition to the $83 billion in pension underfunding the state acknowledges, there is $54 billion in unfunded retiree health liabilities over the next 30 years. Illinois, a stronghold of public employees unions, “is on pace to spend nearly $1 billion on retiree health care benefits in fiscal year 2013, more than double what it spent in 2003. Worse yet, these liabilities are growing more than twice as fast as tax revenues.”
Does anyone want to guess how Illinois got into this mess & have a solution of how they can dig themselves out?
