Maybe he did. He wasn't a Fox news anchor until 2005. ;-)

Maybe. I don't keep track of who is where and when, much less willingly watch Fox News. :-)

Ugh, if everyone else had voiced that opinion a few years ago...

...well, the cynic says nobody in power would have listened, but he also says that the power change would have happened earlier, so maybe we'd be doing this, but four years earlier.

There's an old saying that all evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing, and I certainly have been guilty of that over the last seven years.
