United States".

He layed into the media for showing a split screen of the microphones waiting for Obama to address the Press with "that real estate mogul that is not running for President", saying it was surreal.

He laughed in disbelief at the polls showing that the majority of Republicans don't believe that Obama was born in the United States.

And he ended the segment by saying that this will not end - that next they will want his school records, this and that - and that it belongs in Crazyland, and that's where he is going to leave it from now on.


Hopefully there will be a video up soon. He nailed it.

How does he stay on Faux News???

2. How can Fux Boobs confirm anything when they lie about everything.

3. Real estate mongrel or mogul?
He probably meant to say mogul, but mongrel is really more correct.

Mongol isn't quite it, either.

Mongol:


Mogul:


Mongrel:


Come to think of it, I prefer stray dogs to The Donald.

10. I'd much rather have him as a conservative voice on MSNBC
than as a token person-who-still-breathes-oxygen on Fox.

15. I don't
If nothing else it forces the wingnuts to hear some sanity. On MSNBC he'd just be preaching to the choir. We have enough of that.

18. I like Shep Smith.
He is the only one on Faux who has any shred of integrity. I have to wonder how much longer he will make it on Faux.

24. I believe that Shep's contract with Fox is nothing more than









...the pictures he owns of Roger Ailes and a goat.

23. While I am not a "fan" of Smith
he personifies the kind of old school Republican you can actually deal with.

Believe it or not there was a time when Republicans actually cared about this country, and while they and I didn't agree on everything at least I know they had good intentions.

I'll never forget the sight of Smith standing in New Orleans yelling at the morons in the Fox studio who were trying to politicize the Katrina issue. Poor dude is standing there among the flood victims trying to relay the horror he was experiencing while the idiots in the studio wanted to talk about Mary Landrieu or Bobby Jindal.


I thought they would can him after that one.
