I hope that this time:
-The jokes reference events less than 30-years ago
-They don't have to explain the jokes.

Funny:
1.a) affording light mirth and laughter
b) seeking or intended to amuse
2. differing from the ordinary in a suspicious, perplexing, quaint, or eccentric way
3. often used as a sentence modifier
4. involving trickery or deception
Which of these definitions of the word funny are you referring to, Kim?

Of course they will still need a laugh track, so the dim bulbs in Fox's target audience know when to laugh. Hey, look, it's another Bill Clinton sex joke, har har har, wow that's never been done before ever, where'd they get such a hip writing team?
Ratings are always high for the first show of anything that had as much hype at this did, but the reviews were almost universally negative. It's all downhill from here.
remember Katie Courics debut on CBS? One peak and it slides all the way to the basement.

Jo, are you really that dense or just naive?
Olberman just got resigned for 4 year extension, his ratings have grown more than anything CNN or Fox has on the air in the last year or so. Granted he still gets half the viewers of what Dildo O Reilly does(who has been steadily losing viewers in the last 12 months), but he leads MSNBC for ratings.
Chris Matthews, ugh, I can't stand him but he comes in second on MSNBC.
Now Dennis Miller, there was a complete failure of ratings and MSNBC canned his sorry ass accordingly.
How long did Mancow last on Fox News? Two weeks?

Hey Jo, I read that the blog "ObermanWatch" has just folded like cheap lawn furniture.
I for one hopes that FOX pick's up the show. It is a parody of itself. I hope they have more bits with Ann. Now that Ann has been exposed as the hate-monger that she is, it can only reflect well on the Republican party. Hey maybe they can find a few pedophiles or neo-Nazi to open the show? That should provide meat for the base!

Fox News.. this segment was taped weeks ago...that's not exactly new(s), but I'm probably biased.. The YouTube transmission is so halting, but still I didn't find anything remotely funny on the clip..On the other hand, the Madeleine Albright send-up that Jay had on a couple of days ago, was very funny.

Irregardless of what Ann Coulter said , take a look at this:

I then asked a nearby neighbors son to view this clip and give me a one or two word opinion of John Edwards performance. Oh and he's Gay by the way and his two word response was ...."Silly faggot".

Look over these comments, I'm really not surprised that the people who defend this atrocious programming are using words like "libtard" and "libturd". It think that's about the intellectual level it's shooting for. Seemingly with some level of success there.
