And he's expecting unbiased reporting at Fox?

1. LOL, what does it say

that I don't even know who he is? Must be a pal of morning schmo.

[Donnachaidh]

4. he used to be a regular on Countdown, but IIRC he and Keith had a falling out

so he was relegated to less prime time stuff and evidently doesn't appreciate being shuttled to the D list. :shrug:

He's a smarmy toad, worthy of Faux. IMO.

10. I know Keith and Dana Milbank had a falling out and KO banned him from the show.

I don't remember if Craig Crawford and KO had issues, but he never had anything enlightening to add to any discussion and his breathlessness gets on my nerves. He can join everybody else who gets on my nerves over at Funny Farm News.

12. oh yeah -- Mr. Slurpy my DH used to call him

Craig just disappeared from Countdown. I may have gotten the two mixed up. But you're right - he added zippo to the show.

2. he doesnt want to play the lefty games, so he goes to play the reichty games?

[Dappleganger]

3. No doubt he'll be very happy with Fox. nt

5. No Graet Loss

he talks funny anyway. Almost as if he can't get the words out unless he takes a deep breath first.

[TheDebbieDee]

9. Seems to me as if he is talking while trying to hold in a burp!

[calimary]

13. Or maybe he's just constipated?

6. Close your eyes when he speaks and I swear...

you'll picture Don Knotts.

[wryter2000]

11. He giggles through everything he says n/t

15. He's always sounded like Pat Robertson

at his whiniest, to me.

[DangerousRhythm]

19. Oh, THAT guy! Don Knotts...

Now I know exactly who this guy is. :rofl:

[City Lights]

7. He's a putz, IMHO. Good riddance, and have fun at Fux. nt

8. He was against money corrupting congress and elections

He will be the new Alan Colmes.

"A reform era will likely follow this scandal, as voters throw the bums out. But another round of flawed reform laws will not stop the tide of cash from subverting democracy. The only true reform is for voters to stop reflexively electing the candidates who spend the most money. For those candidates are the ones who must grant favors to people like Abramoff in exchange for the flow of cash they desperately need to stay in office. For starters, the electorate should ignore political ads on TV, which is where most of this corrupt money goes. Anyone who bases their vote on TV ads should not vote at all. Electing representatives and senators who spend the least money is the only reform that would prevent another Abramoff scandal."

14. Good

I never liked his smug attitude. He was off-putting.

16. Cut out the middle man.

Faux Infotainment pays more for the propaganda, anyways.

17. Confusing MSNBC with the Left is a common failing...

...and is a symptom of what's wrong with America.

18. Who the hell is Craig Crawford? (n/t)
