1. "We didn’t buy Alaska to save a couple of elk.” YOU didn't
buy sh*t murdock. Why don't you go back to Australia and rescue your 99 year old mum from the Inland Revenue.

2. He would hire Keith in a second.

The only thing that is important to a media mogul is ratings, therefore advertising dollars.

If he had an advertiser willing to pay more for static than for their TV shows, there would be static on that channel as well as any other channel.

3. Read down to the point where Rupe says he would hire a liberal voice if ...
"he could find one that was strong enough". What, the ass-kicking swashbuckler Alan Colmes isn't good enough?

4. KO (of all people) says it best: Colmes is the "Washington Generals" of liberal pundits.
A planted stooge at best.
