Joan Rivers Tells FOX News To 'Go F**k Themselves'
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/19/joan-rivers-tells-fox-news-to-go-fk-themselves_n_811284.html

We know from which channel Joan Rivers won't be getting her news.

The comedienne and red carpet host tweeted on Wednesday with her immense displeasure with FOX News, whom she said banned her after saying on Sunday night that network contributor Sarah Palin deserved blame for the shootings in Arizona and that she "is just stupid and a threat."

Rivers tweeted:

While @melrivers and I were promoting our new @wetv reality show, I made a joke about Sarah Palin that was picked up by @TMZ.

As a result, our appearance on the Fox News Channel tomorrow morning has been cancelled.

1. Wow, I didn't know Joan paid any attention to other drama queens.
Who knew? ~ Johnny Carson.

2. And just like her thoughts on Sarah Palin--why do we care what Joan Rivers thinks?

3. As abrasive as Joan Rivers is--she is a social satiricist

of high regard. I hope she finds at least a year of material from this little run in with faux and friends.

4. She really doesn't have much nice to say about
Sarah Palin. Maybe you missed the :sarcasm: in some of her statements.

5. when was the last time she said something nice about anyone?

There is no reason to ask someone's opinion when it is the same about everyone all the time.

She is irrelevant IMO, but maybe there are a few elderly people who care what she thinks. I suppose that might be worth something.

9. I met Joan Rivers once.
She was a real sweetheart. I was working in this crappy little diner in the desert, and just a teenager. The cook was a fan of hers and started talking to her, and Ms. Rivers hung around gabbing for a while. I thought she seemed really down to earth.

12. Just swell
Now, if every on-air personality on Fox is found, forcibly sodomized and raped, it'll be all Joan Rivers' fault! Or it would be, if words had any influence over people. Which in this case, the yammerers in the Nitwit Brigade will decide that yes, words do influence people. This time.
