Stick a fork in "This Week"; George Will moving to Fox

Post by Aesop »

George F. Will, one of the sharpest political commentators and columnists in the business, is reportedly leaving ABC News after 30 years of service to join the team over at Fox News.
There's concern George Stephanopoplopoloozalous is updating his resume to get a job in Obamacare, and the news producers at ABC are on suicide watch until the new ratings come in.

Well, I hear Piers Morgan is going to get dumped by CNN; maybe This Week could pick him up, like a good filter, and concentrate all the sludge in one spot. :lol:

Not sure why they picked him up. He is basically the same as Charles Krauthammer.

BIG SURPRISE - NOT!!!!

At least SOME of them actually have more brains than ideology (especially when it comes to - wait for it - actually making MONEY!!!)!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Do these guys do any of their own research/have any control of their teams, or are they just regurgitating whatever the studio feeds them?

Damn, all Fox needs now is to sign up Leno. :lol:

It would be a real sickener for Morgan to lose his show, especially after his little crusade earlier this year.

Um, not so much.

Invest some time for this or this video and note two things: your (or anyone's) IQ is liable to go up several points, and Charles Krauthammer probably couldn't touch this level of discourse on his best day, let alone for an hour and a half.
