    Will they have to add a new wing to make room for all the lies Ailes has helped spread?


  2. Uncle Ho says:

    Shouldn’t that be hall of SHAME?


  3. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    Don’t get snarky w/ us this morning, Uncle.


  4. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    No comparison. jdc.

    Perhaps we could call it the “I’d Rather see jdc’s mom in that dress than him “wing.



  5. RUCerious says:

    I wonder if the new wing will include tappable stalls?


  6. Zooey says:

    Damn, I thought the headline said Ailes had been indicted. *sigh*


  7. jb says:

    I think we have entered the steroid era of journalism fame. To hell with truth, lets just honor raw power and the greed that drives that power. Personally I think Ailes should be honored with a dog$hit cream pie to the fat mug.


  8. Uncle Ho says:

    snarky?

    me?

    snarky

    Moi?

    heaven forbid!


  9. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    Yes… Uncle Ho…

    I’m lookin’ at YOU!!!!

    Don’t you try and start any snarkiness here this morning.

    TP is a respectable establishment.

    Snarking will not be allowed.


  10. Uncle Ho says:

    good morning to you too, Republic of Snark :-)

    I’d suggest paying for some jokes. You might get lucky and stumble across something that’s actually funny.


  12. Zimzone says:

    Ahhh, Roger ‘Fat Ass’ Ailes, born to lie or die trying.

    His only claim to fame is he’s told more lies via Fox Noise than the entire Bush White House.

    Quite a legacy there, fatboy.

    Your picture should join Alphonso Jackson’s…in the Post Office


  13. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    What did I just say, Uncle Ho?

    We will not tolerate the use of the word “Snark”, or any of it’s multiple derivitives, including, but not limited to: snarkified, snarkatorium, snarkilicious, snarkity, snarktacious, snarkateria, and snarkarrific, or its use in any funny sounding names, such as, but not limited to: Mount Snarkmore, Great White Snark, the Snarky Way, the Snarkysburg Address, the Great Snarky Mountains, or Jurrasic Snark, here this morning.

    You’ve been warned, Uncle ho. NO… SNARKING…


  14. RUCerious says:

    I just took a peek at the existing members, and am aghast that an asshat like Ailes would be in the same company as George Burns and Gracie Allen. The SHAME of it! Geebus H Goobers!


  15. Witch1 says:

    Who’s Roger Ailes.? Seriously…..I don’t know who the hell this person is and why he warrent’s a thread….~Blessings~


  16. tom says:

    Well, this is probably good news for Pete Rose. If Ailes can get into the Journalism Hall of Fame, good old Pete still has a shot at the Baseball Hall of Fame.


  17. RUCerious says:

    WitchyOne, he’s the head of Faux Snooze. A more undeserving cretin could be found under most rocks in the Sonora desert.

    I guess Obama will be afraid to visit the Broadcast Hall Of Fame now.

    While this horseshit administration will visit it hourly ; they can always rely on FAUX Gnus to spread their lies fervently ……….

    You’re not very good at this. You’re getting very desperate.

    Thanks for diagnosis Doc.

    Though the point of paying a hooker to tell you your 2″ wanker is tiny seems a bit odd ; hey , it’s your money (that you ‘earned’ from welfare)…………..


  20. Uncle Ho says:

    TROS; I was labeled a ‘troublemaker’ in the military. as in
    “take off those damn love-beads and peace sign, this is Vietnam, not Haight-Ashbury”
    so, I wasn’t too good at following orders at times

    Life, Liberty. and the pursuit of snark.


  21. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    There you go again, Uncle Ho…

    Yer just determined to find some way to work the word “snark” into the conversation. Yer incorrigible…

    Snark this… snark that… snark, snark, snark…


  22. Witch1 says:

    Thank’s RUCerious……Don’t watch anything fux so did not know….Guess he must be another slug to put salt on from the comment’s….Oh well, I will just move along to more important thing’s like walking the Bear and watching the Steller’s Jay’s build a nest in one of my Abrovete trees….LOL..~Blessings~


  23. The Republic of Stupidity says:

    Uh????????

    I’d like to see you say that to his face girlfriend.

    AN ODE TO jdc

    A troll trying to be funny
    Is like a fly trying to make honey
    He’ll grunt and he’ll groan
    But in the end nothing is shown
    Except a pile of dung that’s smelly.

    If he does he won’t understand them anyway. What a dumbass.


  27. PatrioticLiberalChristian says:

    Arn Gunnutes
    Snog: The animal that keeps you awake at night with its SNARKING. Not to be confused with a SNAT, which “sneows”…

    Now THAT’S funny!

    I’m sure most of the regular posters here have been labeled “troublemakers” at some time. You just did it at a more powerful place that most of us. That makes you #1.


  29. Shayne says:

    There’s no longer any prestige to belonging to this hall of fame. Obviously a spot can be bought.


  30. Freedom Rebel says:

    How can they possible compare him to Johnny Carson, Sid Ceasar, & George Burns? I have a solution, put his plaque in the basement next to the septic tank or sewage pipes. That works for me..


  31. Max-1 says:

    .

    Propagandist and FoxPravda News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes gets awarded with a heck-of-a-job induction into the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame.

    .


  32. Uncle Ho says:

    only a rethuglic could believe Ailes should be honored- c’mon- the guy worked for Nixon for Christ’s sake. that’s damning enough for starters.

    Hall of Shame
    William Kristol
    Roger Ailes
    Geraldo Rivera( who could forget his Al Capone’s vault pulitzer prize[snark] AND reporting live in real time- US troop movements)


  33. Uncle Ho says:

    btw- I did remove the peace sign and love-beads-only to put them back on 10 minutes later. What were they going to do? Send me to Vietnam?
