    What the hell was that? Talent night at summer camp?

    Idiots.


  2. ConcernedCitizen says:

    What does E.D. stand for, anyway? Emotionally Dysfunctional?


  3. Zimzone says:

    If FUX news had 1/2 the class of Helen Thomas, I might watch them.
    She doesn’t make ‘facts’ up, she doesn’t ask softball questions, and,
    yes, she’s better looking than anyone at FUX.
    Thanks, Helen, for always seeking the truth, not the talking points of the day running out of Ken Mehlman’s ass.
    We love ya, babe.


  4. dlet says:

    Yeah like this cheese head has half the experience, integrity and professionalism as does Helen Thomas’ little toe.


  5. pgw says:

    if they gave awards for screen captures, think progress would win hands-down. congrats, that’s another doozy.


  6. Go Back To Sleep America says:

    That’s a “News” channel?

    I’m with “bumblebums” upthread, in asking what the hell ailes this airhead E.D. Hill?


  8. Jay Randal says:

    FOX and ABC are both certified crazy GOP affiliated crap networks!

    The dumbing down of America continues…


  10. P O'Neill says:

    Looks more like an Ann Coulter impersonation.


  11. Jesus Christ God of WAR says:

    There’s a reason I don’t miss watching TV.

    These people are sick. Faux is Sally Jesse Raphael of the entertainment cloaked as news.

  13. kindness says:

    No, if it was an (m)Ann Coulter cameo, one of the guys would have had to do it.


  14. ckerst says:

    This is the immature crap Fox airs while 2 wars are taking American lives and innocent people are dying in Afghanistan and Iraq.


  15. Dave M. says:

    Imitation of despised political figures is so common in punditry that it doesn’t even warrent mention, to be honest. Every good pundit has a whole routine of all the big conservative players. Jon Stewart, Al Franken, Sam Seder– everyone.

    Then again, Helen Thomas is not a political figure, she’s just doing her job as a government watchdog, unlike far too many journalists out there.

  18. Bearpaw says:

    Too bad she’s unable to imitate Helen’s intelligence.


  19. Yachts and Lattes says:

    Who do they think wants to watch that? I’m not surprised to find it on Fox but I am surprised that even the countriest of bumpkins would see that and go, “Man, they’re clever!”


  20. Dot Connector says:

    She is auditioning to replace Barbara Olson, at long last.


  21. mongo says:

    I love the footer along the bottom of the screen; it sums up nicely the problem with MSM and Faux:

    “You Choose the News”


  22. Southwest Bob says:

    Its a shame to see E.D. Hill lower herself to sure tactics. Her career to this point has been. . . ops, I guess she hasn’t had a career that anyone has heard about. . . so, it’s E.D. Hill attempting to make a name for herself by acting like an intelligent woman? Gosh, so out of her element, it’s just not going to work. . . more acting school or high school for E.D. Hill before she can pull this role off.


  23. Terry C, Unabased Partisan says:

    Another blonde meth head like Coulter.


  24. Badmoodman says:

    E.D. Hill, “Erectile Dysfunction,” is what men in her company no doubt suffer from. Geeze, I hate blondes.


  25. Spudge_Boy says:

    mongo,

    Don’t you mean:

    “You Choose the News”

    That is very much a high lighted word.


  26. Badmoodman says:

    “I love the footer along the bottom of the screen…” – - The part that cracks me up and makes me howl with laughter is “President Bush unveils new plan…” Those BushCo pranksters.


  27. Sharon Cox says:

    I had an old neighbor a few year’s ago. On my way to the mail box I saw him out side with another neighbors tire pump putting air in a blond inflatable that looked like this babe. The doll had a leak and he didn’t have a patch kit, poor dear…Guess that’s this babes problem…..Blessings…Peace….40 minutes untill our usual propaganda speel.


  28. Heynow says:

    E.D. looks like she just found out Bin Laden is still free after five years.

    Comment by ConcernedCitizen

    E. D. Hill was born Edith Ann Tarbox in 1963. Barely into her 40’s, she has already been married three times and has eight children, of which 5 are her own. Those divorces must relate to a Christian upbringing. Evidently, it doesn’t take long for the sex to wear off and the guys get tired of putting up with her shit.

    At one time, Hill claimed to be a Democrat. That was probably before she was a full-time member of Fox and Friends where she and the other two dipshits are known to some of us as “Edie and the Idiots.” Now she claims to be a “primary-voting Democrat” as if she is only interested in undermining a ligitimate candidate.

    Yikes! Thats not a Tarbox that’s a community pitstop!


  33. Kurt says:

    When Helen Thomas asked held the president’s feet to the fire about why he started the war in Iraq, I emailed her and thanked her for asking the necessary question her colleagues seemed afraid to ask.

    She answered my email. I was stunned. She is a gracious lady who took the time to respond to a stranger’s thanks.

    I don’t know much about E.D. Hill other than what I occasionally watch on Fox. I’m not impressed. When she is old and looking back on the body of her work, I don’t think she is going to have the same satisfaction as Helen Thomas. Will she say, ‘remember the time I mocked Helen Thomas on national tv?’


  34. suggie says:

    Is it Halloween yet? Could have fooled me!

    E.D. (Emotionally Disturbed) Hill looks like a fool and FAUX NEWS is maintaining their false news reputation by airing a ridiculous spoof like this.

    Guess they can’t find any more lies or talking points to spin these days? Hard up?


  35. suggie says:

    another garden-variety FAUX NEWS airhead? I don’t think I can take one more.


  36. hellinabucket says:

    Actually watched this. They were acting out the off camera but recorded exchange between David Gregory and Mr. Snow. It was all flash and no substance. Hill just sat there until signaled to make the face. Crack (on that is) reporting from the gang at Fox.


  37. Trinary Suka says:

    At one time, Hill claimed to be a Democrat.

    Many of these Neo-Cons [Crypto Fascists] left the Democratic party and joined up wiith the radical righties.
    Anyhoo this just goes to show that these people will do anything for 99.95$$

    Just like Earl Scheib.


  38. The Pittsburgh Kid says:

    I remember when she was just a local newscaster here in Pittsburgh – then known as Edie Tarbox- on the NBC affilliate. She was sorta trampy hot. We always affectionately referred to her Edie Hotbox (I was still in college at the time, so I don’t think that’s funny any more – well, maybe just a little funny).


  39. Trinary Suka says:

    Edie Hotbox (I was still in college at the time, so I don’t think that’s funny any more – well, maybe just a little funny).

    lol..

    I betting it would be more like a bucket of warm water than a hotbox today..


  40. Jeff says:

    Jesus, I feel like I’m back in junior high with this administration and their lackeys.


  41. Mary Magdylin says:

    Helen is smarter and better looking!!

    I dunno. Given the chance I’d probably pork her. Long as I had some protection, anyway.

    And a case of Beer!


  44. katy says:

    i remember randi rhodes once said, “google ‘e.d.hill nude’”… evidently there are “compromising” pics out there… i won’t do it, but maybe someone here would enjoy that process…
    yea, i know – that’s low… so is fox…

    “you CHOOSE the news”… right up there with “we report, you decide”… what? if it’s true?

  46. Ronin Tetsuro says:

    We need to start choosing to ignore these kinds of stories.

    Hippocritical of me to make a post saying that, I know. But it needs to be said.


  47. Trinary Suka says:

    She looks like one of those stalker types Joebsixpack, you might wanna get a fake ID first.

    Juan nails it.

    Hmmmm
    Edye Tarbox———> E.D. Hill——–> Edye Grant


  48. Trinary Suka says:

    Distinguishing characteristic-”sometimes seen carrying a Schlitz”…….almost died from liver failure in ‘96.


  49. The DLC are Frauds says:

    That’s right. And Democrats who guest on FOX help propagate these silly ideas.


  50. Trinary Suka says:

    Don’t forget legendary Channel 25 weatherman Stu Bowersox, who did OK with wind, rain and heat, but had a chronic problem with “snow”.

    Edye Tarbox was known as Edye Grant (her brother’s first name) when she was at channel 25 in 1985-86. She thought Tarbox sounded silly with Bowersox. …

    Edye Tarbox Bowersox…we got your number…


  51. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    When the Dems take the House of Representatives, this will be the picture that Fox News Channel puts up.


  52. Trinary Suka says:

    Why is it that all these compassionate conservatives of the moral majority all seem to be just the opposite of what they say?

    Oh, yeh, thats right, sorry, my bad. It’s ‘Spin’…
    Just another word for Lie.


  53. D.Tree says:

    So who, exactly, is a Moonbat?


  54. DRxJ says:

    off topic but important…
    in the medical field, ED stands for Erectile Dysfunction. You now can add your own puchline….


  55. flatus says:

    I just love her cute little bulldog underbite, don’t you?


  56. Tigris Lily says:

    E. D. Hill–isn’t she the one who wanted an Office of Censorship? Okay–let’s censor her first.


  57. Trinary Suka says:

    I think she hails from WACKO Texas, home of David Koresh..


  58. Trinary Suka says:

    And that other Wacko compound near there called Crawford..


  59. Marie says:

    There’s an example of the intelligence quotient of the average fact-free FoxTV viewer.


  60. Darin says:

    Natural for her…she’s been impersonating a journalist for years.


  61. Zooey says:

    That dude is weird looking.


  62. JPark says:

    #4 Whoa there!! Don’t smear Wisconsinites with having anything to do with her. She is a Texan (surprised?). This trash is clearly a right wing mouthpiece. She brags of being a “primary voting Democrat”: meaning she likes to mess with the actual Democratic process. What a skank.


  63. Zooey says:

    JPark,

    Why so mean to skanks?


  64. JPark says:

    I am sorry Zooey!! I meant to say right-wing venom-dripping skank. :)


  65. Trinary Suka says:

    That dude is weird looking.

    Ya know Zo, I was just thinking that same thing when the page loaded this evening, I got the impression of a man in drag..weird.

    Alright….but I’ve got my eye on you…

    And false teeth….but I’ve heard removable choppers can be an attractive feature in some gals….


  68. Zooey says:

    Shit!

    I forgot I had my “Yenta” gig running. Sorry guys.


  69. DonDeAgo says:

    I only watch the Fox News Channel when Kiran Chetry is a co-anchor. She bright, with a great personality and has the greatest legs on TV.
