There’s going to be two installments of Fox News’ “1/2 Hour News Hour” Sunday evening, and after getting straight A’s for his first 100 days in office, President Limbaugh will be taking a well-deserved vacation.
In his absence, Vice President Coulter will run things with assistance from Secretary of State Drudge.
Those interested should see the video available here (h/t Ian at Hot Air).
*****Critical Update: Ian at Hot Air now has the OxyClinton video available wherein Laura Ingraham helps liberal women that are suffering from "Hillary Ambivalence Syndrome." This is the best routine of the evening.
Get those Tivos and DVRs set for both episodes tonight at 10:00 and 10:30 PM ET. (That's 7 and 7:30 for you folks in Rio Linda!)
Enjoy.

May 13, 2007 - 20:17 ET by bigtimerI've been looking forward to this since the show was picked up for 13 episodes.
Ought to be fun...great gift for Mom's Day too!
Nothing like laughter....

May 13, 2007 - 22:17 ET by Dave HighGiven the excitement, artistry, humor, and inability to read TelePrompTer as displayed on the first P/VP encounter between Limbaugh and Foul Mouth Annie during the trial run of Faux’s “Half-Ast News Hour,” can anyone really be surprised that they would split the team up on opening night? Is Limbaugh off to a new sexual escapade in a South American country with Viagra purchased under his Doctor’s name, or did he send his housekeeper back to the Denny’s parking lot for more Hillbilly Heroin? Will Foul Mouth Annie twitch her feet as she desperately tries to read the TP? Perhaps a timely pie in the face will add humor to tonight’s revisit of the macabre.
I may tune in, though. What I saw last time was sooooo bad, it will be interesting, from a media producer/director’s point of view, to see the “fix.” (Emphasis added by me, not Noel). All I can offer in advance is: YIKES! GhostBusters, put away your libations, food in your mouth and false teeth that easily spit out. My bet is you’ll be gaggin’ on your own lack of conservative humor tonight.
With tongue firmly planted in check, Dave High

May 13, 2007 - 22:47 ET by TexasOptimistAt least some trolls produce some comedic moments sometimes. Dave, on the other hand, does not.
George W. Bush is not a full-fledged conservative, but I still support his presidency. I'd rather have him as president than ANY of the Democrats.
Merry Christmas 2007.

Scene II. Camera cuts to Dave
May 14, 2007 - 14:21 ET by Wilbur747Scene II.
Camera cuts to Dave, bleeding from a head wound, as he falls slowly to one knee, then the other. He reaches out...trying to say something. What? What is he trying to say? There's only silence.
Camera cuts to Blonde, sneering, hold chin on high, sliding the blood soaked sword slowly back into its sheath.
Dave falls to his side, still trying to cry out. He falls completely.
A small wisp of dust blows by the body. Blonde walks slowly into the sunset wondering when and where the next troll will emerge.
Cut...Print!

Okay. Unfortunately I am staying in a hotel in Houston that doesn't carry Fox News. This is probably intended as a courtesy to their clients, although I have to admit that I am suprised, being it Texas and all. In any event, I cannot comment further on the broadcast because I cannot see it.

I see your point. At least some of us had a chuckle tonight. Personally, I want to take Blonde's characterization of me as "SPARKY" ahead in my future. It kind of makes my spine tingle! (Sorry for the rest of you guys.)

May 14, 2007 - 13:57 ET by Wilbur747I've always heard that liberals were easily amused and excited.
Blonde mentioned the word "overthink". I know you're confused Sparky. Might I suggest looking up the root word 'think'. You may finally see the major difference between libs and the rest of the world. (Hint: Libs only emote.)
Try Wikipedia, especially since libs don't care about the true facts.
I love global warming...I can use my pool during winter!
Stop Global Whining!
Suggestion for visitors to Houston
May 15, 2007 - 05:07 ET by UnsaneAs a resident of Houston, I suggest that one night you drive a car north on up I-45 at night (the North Freeway to us locals) to about Exit 57-58 or so, then head back south, at night. Then remember that the massive skyline you see lit up before you was NOT built by a bunch of whiners looking for handouts, or begging to be coddled by the Nanny State.
You know how much we in Houston hate being ordered around by others? We don't even have zoning ordinances here, and they have been voted down on three separate occasions.

Good job Houston!
May 15, 2007 - 15:11 ET by enantiodromiaYou only need to grow your population by 400% to compete with the largest city in America, or 200% to compete with the second largest! Of course both of those cities, and city #3, are located in the so-called Nanny States.
So according to your theory, city size is directly related to the Liberalness or Conservativeness of the state it is located, and since Houston is #4, and behind three "liberal" cities/states, it is better for large populations and large cities to be Liberal than Conservative.
Well done.
Huh?
May 16, 2007 - 06:10 ET by UnsaneWhat theory did I put forth?
Incidentally, NY, CA, and IL are not "Nanny States". Nanny States would be as follows: France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, etc.

I think Charles Krauthammer
May 14, 2007 - 08:26 ET by DontFeedTheTrollsI think Charles Krauthammer needs to put out an additional term to go hand in hand with his BDS syndrome called FDS, or Fox Derangement Syndrome.
Fox Derangement Syndrome is the acute onset of paranoia and the loss of rationality in otherwise normal people in reaction to the news and opinion shows on Fox News Channel. It also causes the person afflicted with this condition to call Fox News "Faux News", fully expecting his or her audience to think that this is somehow unique, clever, and humorous.
Sadly, there is no known cure for this condition.

May 13, 2007 - 23:02 ET by pocomocoI would suggest one change. Instead of the anchors sitting at a desk, they do a send up of CNN’s Situation Room with scripts in hands and the background TVs showing all manner of funny things. Call it HHNH's Circumstances Room.
I too got a big laugh over the Harry Reid joke.
The ACLU commercial is definitely a keeper along with the Global Warming bit on the initial show.

May 14, 2007 - 00:27 ET by joe conservativeBesides the show being painfully unfunny to watch, it rip off the worse ideas of the Daily Show. Face it Fox News and conservatives in general, you will never be hip. Dennis Miller is cool if you are over the age of seventy. Was there really a studio audence? I heard better canned laughter during the sixties. But the idea of President Limbaugh on vacation rather than drug rehab was slightly amusing
