NEW YORK — Bill Hemmer, dumped last month by CNN as co-host of its morning show, has joined archrival Fox News Channel as a daytime anchor.

Once one of CNN's rising stars, Hemmer was called the "chad lad" following his coverage of the Florida recount in 2000. CNN paired him with Paula Zahn as American Morning co-host in 2002, before she was replaced by Soledad O'Brien.

... Hemmer will be a correspondent along with anchoring daytime news coverage, Fox said Tuesday.

1. HAHAHA!

Is this really any surprise?

[jonnyblitz]

2. surprise, surprise!! :P nt

[SaveElmer]

3. Brainless Pretty Boy...

Should fit in well over there!!!

[Initech]

10. I dont think I'd use the word "brainless"

Because that would imply that the people working at Faux News actually have brains to begin with!

[leftchick]

20. he isn't even pretty

he is gross the way his mouth is always hanging open and wet. He reminds me off a bassett hound.

4. bwahahah

I couldn't think of a better match.

5. Stop. Don't. Come back.

Really. We want you back. We can't survive without you.

:boring:

Anyone hear that "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" came in at number one this weekend?

31. heh...I was thinking of Gene Wilder as Wonka when I read that subject

:)

6. God, he's dumber than a box of hammers.

Hemmer, hammer.

14. As "The Guillotine" in that notorious Geico commercial says...

... (and boy, oh boy, does it apply in spades to hapless but kinda likable Bill), "If stupid were bricks, you'd be the Great Wall of China!"

[Ilsa]

7. Aha! I knew it!

He'll fit perfectly over there.

[MuseRider]

8. Perfect fit!

Dumb and partisan. What more could Fox wish for in a "journalist"?

[Nite Owl]

9. Oh what a surprise!

He's where he belongs now.

[CottonBear]

11. He'll be perfect for Faux news since he's a faux journalist.

Have any of the Faux news people returned to respectable journalism after a stint at Faux News? It would seem to be the kiss of death for ones career.

[CoffeeCat]

12. Typical frat-boy type...

...they can have him.

You know what makes me most sick about this? These "journalists" who work for years and years at CNN and other "mainstream" outlets--have been complete liars.

By working at CNN, you allow people to assume that you are unbiased.

Anyone who works for Fox is a right-wing bum hugger. When one of these CNN guys defects to Fox--I just want to say, "Thanks for playing an objective, fair-minded person for several years, when really you were right-leaning pond scum!"

Rat bastards!

So who's next...Is Soledad going to join PNAC?

Lying toads!

[Double T]

13. Is Fox News Starting To Look More Like CNN.........

and is CNN starting to look more like Fox News????

[Career Prole]

15. How exciting!

It was easy to see he was just itching to get out there where the "REAL" newsmen are!

Look out, Geraldo! There's a challenge to your harem!

Back in the old days the position "copy boy" had a whole 'nother connotation than it does now...which is "cloned (or molded plastic for low-budget operations) pretty boy who reads just what the corporation tells him to, without comment".

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. How unfortunate

I kinda liked Bill. Won't be watching him now though.

[BlueWolff]

17. A KNOWN Republican and HACK

He has a Napoleon complex!!!!!!!
He and Faux news deserve each other!

[proud2BlibKansan]

18. Oh thanks for letting me know

I guess he will be happier at faux then.

[leftchick]

19. how appropriate!

faux snews takes more cast offs!

:rofl:

[spartan61]

21. OK, so Bill Hemmer was dumped by CNN

but was Jack Cafferty dumped too? I really liked Jack because he didn't pussy foot around. He said what he was thinking even if it wasn't politically correct.

[TheWebHead]

25. he's now on Blitzer's new show

"The Situation Room"

[against all enemies]

30. Cafferty is a Republican water boy too.

[TomClash]

22. Follow the money nt

[tishaLA]

23. "you fit me like a glove, my love"....

as Frankie Goes to Hollywood said.

This is kismet for Billy boy.

[Pithy Cherub]

24. Hemmeroid is with his level of talent...

A Faux anchor for a Faux network - all is symetrical in that world. :eyes:

[Dr Fate]

26. Nevah hoid of 'em. n/t

[0007]

27. Who gives a fuck?

[SoCalDem]

28. Took longer than I thought it would

He'll fit right in.. He has that "little boy next door look":puke: and Norm Coleman teeth:)

[UTUSN]

29. Bwah-hahahah - Why Is This Not Surprising? n/t

[Jazzgirl]

He was horrible. Good riddance!
