Ok, two things.

Thing One: Ari Fleischer is most likely the most unhappy, and smug man I've ever watched on television. I watched the White House press briefing, and he was so rude to every single reporter, and every single question asked. Why would you sign up for the job of Press Secretary if you were going to be such a smug, aloof, moron about it? Seriously, the entire time I was watching him you could Feel his annoyance with every person in the room; he acts as though he's fielding questions about a working-model of a volcano he just built for the 7th Grade Science Fair, and he has no idea how to answer them. No blue ribbon for you Ari.

Thing Two: Hands down, the coolest news anchor Ever, has to be Shepard "Shep" Smith. Today while I was watching his show "Studio B," he was doing a little interview Q&A with one of his colleagues that runs a radio show, and that's when his true colors came out. The guy he was talking to praised Fox News and how amazing they were doing, and especially how good the reporters in the field, like Oliver North were doing...anyways, the radio man said how cool Oliver North was, and "Shep" goes: "I know, I talked to Ollie on the phone just the other day dude." A news anchor saying Dude...I love it. Ok, and if that were not enough, a few minutes later the same radio man also praised Shep for his steadfastness on the job, to which Shep responded with, "Well wow, Thank You my Brotha." Again...I love it. Shep then proceeded to end his "Studio B" with another funny thing; he was describing Saddam's readiness to use chemical weapons on his own people, but he did not word it like any ordinary news anchor, oh no, he chose instead to say the following: "The Marines are doing an exceptional job, but they really do have to be careful around civilian areas, not only because they are often soldiers dressed as civilians, but Saddam has shown time and again, that he is down with gassing his own people." hahaha. Pure Shep Style. Shep Smith, You are the man.
