I hope he gits hit by a "stray" cluster bomb.

What's he going to do, spend hours building up hype about infiltrating a taliban stronghold or something, only to find it completely empty?  [;)]

Oh crap...(I'm not a fan of "creative" journalism)

WTF! that commie d!ck head!?!?!?
Don't they know Combs is all the commie I can take AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Does not have to be a stray.[xx(][xx(][xx(][xx(]

Someone should have locked his sorry ass in Capone's vault.

Man, you guys crack me up.  When I'm flipping channels, if I come across him, I immediately keep flipping.  I haven't been able to take him seriously since he had his Jerry Springer-esque "talk" show back in the 80's.  Besides, he seems unable to confine his biases to himself as a "journalist."

[(:|)]

Maybe he'll finally find Al Capones secret treasure.

Bwaaaaahahhahaha!  Tooooooooo funny.

Thank you, now I can finally get some sleep.

I still remember that con job he pulled on "The secret safe of Al Capone". He got bunch of us (lots of viewers) draw to the TV for nothing....  The safe was empty.

Since when is FoxNews a gay porn channel?

Ooh!  Why don't we send him in search of "Bin Laden's cave stronghold"

I just finished reading this in my paper this morning and e-mailed my disappointment to Fox News

I Remember how pissed he got
when the Metzger called
him Jerry Rivers>
Right after that he gave Roy Innis
the green light to choke him.

Looks like one of the "Village People" on vacation....

[smoke]

He made $6 millions a year while most of us here are trying to make due....Life is so unfair.

Oh crap!  FOX is going to hell in a handbasket!

All the MSNBC'ers seem to be bailing for FOX!

Money???

Maybe a stray cluster bomb will hit that
brown nosing Klintonite!

Hmmmm...geraldo. As a war correspondent.

Osama bait????

I guess "fair and balaned" necessitates having ONE leftist idiot.

Just to laugh at.
