Happy New Year, and thank you for providing us a quality product throughout ’09. Stay safe, Mr. Spud.
December 31, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Happy New Year, Spud, and as a near-religious viewer of MSNBC, let me second the motion that you called out their disasterous Dayside moves the day they were made. Kudos, credit…all that. Party hard! ..er, I mean.. Be safe!
December 31, 2009 at 6:29 pm
Have a great night, Spud. Look forward to the blog next year.
“Rick’s List.” Let the games begin.
December 31, 2009 at 6:37 pm
“Rick’s List.”
I heard he killed a guy..
December 31, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Maybe that’s what’s on the list..
December 31, 2009 at 6:46 pm
happy new year, ICN! and here is to another great year in politics/media for you and others to report on!
December 31, 2009 at 7:07 pm
And the Kathy Griffin Watch begins. Thank God cable news does a disasterous New Year’s show with a closeted gay and a woman who’s DYING to mention it. Good times.
December 31, 2009 at 7:32 pm
Ack, got the ‘g@y word’ stuck in moderation. Let’s try this again.

Glenn Beck’s got a great New Year’s program on now (kinda like a “best of 2009″), with the food, animals, etc. Excellent programming!
December 31, 2009 at 8:00 pm
Glenn Beck on New Year’s Eve? The humanity..
December 31, 2009 at 8:12 pm
Kathy Griffin and nervous laughter. She oughta be on his show every night.
December 31, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Tell Kathy Griffin a ball is dropping and she will do him every night.
December 31, 2009 at 8:22 pm
His show, I mean.
December 31, 2009 at 8:24 pm
Al, time to lay off the Fat Bast@rd..
December 31, 2009 at 8:26 pm
On call – No drinking for me tonight.
December 31, 2009 at 8:28 pm
Eek, New Years Eve on-call. Who’d you p!ss off?
December 31, 2009 at 8:29 pm
I volunteered. As was done for me when I was a rookie, let the kids get a god party night in.
December 31, 2009 at 8:31 pm
Ugh. Nice on the holidays. Well. Never heard of such a thing.
December 31, 2009 at 8:31 pm
Should read: good. My wubble-u and Oh-O keys getting stuck…
December 31, 2009 at 8:33 pm
-Nice on the holiday-
I promised to be nice once for the year. This is it.
December 31, 2009 at 8:34 pm
I’m workin’, too, Al. Which is my excuse for watching cable news on New Year’s Eve. The fact that I would be doing so, anyway, is something I don’t want to discuss..
December 31, 2009 at 8:43 pm
You’re working much too hard, joe. And cable news isn’t such a terrible hobby.
December 31, 2009 at 8:55 pm
You’re working much too hard, joe.
Eh, beats the alternative, mate.
December 31, 2009 at 9:02 pm
HAPPY NEW YEAR GEORGIA! And, ya know, all you other East Coasters..

Cribbed from Don Surber.
. The Barack Obama Jokes Website: “Top Twenty Five Features of Obamacare”:
1. Medical degrees from Devry.
6. Tap water is a plasma substitute.
12. Tongue depressors taste like Popsicles.
20. Anesthesia comes in a bong.
23. Hospital TVs are all turned to MSNBC.

So that’s how you double-post…

Happy New Year! Here’s To A Better 2010 For All.
January 1, 2010 at 8:53 am
Happy New Year! And many MSNBC and CNN actually find compelling dayside hosts!
January 1, 2010 at 1:41 pm
Happy New Year to one and all!
Corny, with the seeming addition of Page Hopkins to MSNBC, you may get at least part of your wish. Fox’s loss should be MSNBC’s gain.
Speaking of Fox News, we’re thinking that Ainsley Earhardt is either on her way out or permanently consigned to being a dead ender. With just about every FNC regular away for all or part of the last two weeks, it would have been a prime opportunity for her to sub in a variety of shows, but she did not. Not only did the suits bring in people from out of town bureaus (Marianne Silber, Shannon Bream) to cover for the regulars, but they actually keep giving the F&F sub slot to Courtney Friel. Talk about an insult!
January 1, 2010 at 9:11 pm
I was watching this with someone last night and somehow we both managed to miss it.

Three questions Laura…
1) Why the hell were you watching CNN?
2) Who were you watching with?
3) If it wasn’t Joe, how jealous is he?
January 2, 2010 at 2:25 pm
– Three questions –
1) Fox sucks on New Year’s.
2) No comment
3) See above.
January 2, 2010 at 3:40 pm
I didn’t get to watch FNC, but they could do with less musical acts that no one has ever heard of. Although Lee Greenwood was a good idea. Why not get some other country stars, etc. Maybe even a showtune or two. Plus more of the red eye gang!
January 2, 2010 at 5:24 pm
-Somehow both managed to miss a CNN F-Bomb-
Sounds like somebody had a fun night New Year’s Eve….
Fox does suck on New Year’s. Maybe next year Red Eye’s Andy Levi can do the post-year wrap-up… and Patti Ann Browne can launch a rhyming f-bomb rap.
January 2, 2010 at 7:35 pm
I would love to see a before-and-after photo of Lis Wiehl. I believe the Shiksa-conversion process is complete.
January 2, 2010 at 7:52 pm
^ What have you been reading?
January 2, 2010 at 8:09 pm
It’s a Yiddish-thing. You wouldn’t understand. I don’t, either, but I know people.
January 2, 2010 at 8:15 pm
I assumed it meant she’s dropped her Hebrew faith…
January 2, 2010 at 8:18 pm
It was a snide-comment on how Fox has air-brushed her over the years. Nothing about her, personally.
January 2, 2010 at 8:28 pm
Ah! OK, that I understand. I want to see that before & after, too.
January 2, 2010 at 8:38 pm
She used to have really wavy, almost curly, red hair. The process that makes her straight and blonde could probably be use as an enhanced interrogation method.
January 2, 2010 at 8:53 pm
Yep, found an image through a “Lis wiehl 2001″ Google search from a Seattle telly station. Curly almost red. Maybe a guy did that to her and that’s why she seems to hate men.
January 2, 2010 at 8:55 pm
Reason enough for me..
January 2, 2010 at 9:03 pm
Crazy smart chicks…
January 2, 2010 at 9:07 pm
Taking over the world, one blog at-a-time. Or something.
January 2, 2010 at 9:13 pm
Go get ‘em, girlie.
January 2, 2010 at 9:29 pm
Maybe they can Shiksa Judith Miller next.
January 3, 2010 at 12:55 pm
Joe remains eerily silent on what he was watching on New Year’s Eve….
We eagerly await Joe’s analysis…
January 3, 2010 at 1:50 pm

You have to be blonde to work for FNC if you’re female. Remember when Greta had brown hair?
January 3, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Oh behave, Red. I’d tell Al to, but he’s impossible.
I saw the Kathy Griffin Event, but I thought she said ‘fulcon’ as a riff on ‘falcon’. KG almost cursing on TV didn’t seem particularly noteworthy at the time.
January 3, 2010 at 3:17 pm
-blonde to work for FNC if you’re female-
Like Patti Ann Browne, Brenda Buttner, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Catherine Herridge, Anita Vogel…
-impossible- Yes, that would be me.
-Griffin making AC do a 360-
Ehhh, it’s a cable channel. I say “fire truck” without tru ire all the time, so no biggie.
January 3, 2010 at 4:06 pm
…Julie Banderas.
January 3, 2010 at 4:22 pm
…Domenica Davis
In support of unclear’s thesis, however, it was Janice Dean who said that “the curtains don’t match the carpet” and it was a condition of her contract. Although she did say that on ‘Red Eye’ and they say just about anything on that show…
January 3, 2010 at 4:33 pm
…and they say just about anything on that show…
And here, apparently…
January 3, 2010 at 4:50 pm
…Rick Folbaum.
Oh, sorry..
January 3, 2010 at 6:25 pm
Steve Doocy is sort of a sandy blonde. Does that count?
January 3, 2010 at 7:12 pm
Steve Doocy is sort of a sandy blonde. Does that count?
Augmented by his Classic Dumb Blonde behavior..yes.
January 3, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Doocy seems like a nice guy.
-Classic Dumb Blonde-
Ummm…Mrs. Doocy has a bruise on her belly button?
January 3, 2010 at 7:46 pm
I swear, Al, sometimes I have no idea what you’re talking about. In this case, I have a feeling I’m better off.
January 3, 2010 at 7:57 pm
Al…you are a not-nice person.
January 3, 2010 at 8:01 pm
Guess maybe I shouldn’t type out loud what I think. Stuffy Americans.
January 3, 2010 at 8:05 pm
Besides, he’s got a kid. He figured that out years ago.
January 3, 2010 at 8:23 pm
He has three kids so once.. no, not gonna say it. But I do crack myself up sometimes.
And I’m a blond, too. Somehow I had four kids. I hear doctors figured out what causes that.
January 3, 2010 at 8:28 pm
– I do crack myself up sometimes. –
I am, quite often, my own best audience. This is unfortunate for those around me.
January 3, 2010 at 8:52 pm
A prophet in his own land is without honour. A comedian in her own home is without praise on her.
…something like that.
