  1. Was there any explanation this morning of where Joe Scarborough is and when he will be back? Just curious.

  2. There were some problems during the last few months of his wife’s pregnancy. They didn’t think she would go to term. I believe she had the baby, but not certain about that.

  3. Did anyone see Megyn Kelly go psycho on the dr. this morning when she was talking about the liver transplant. Apparently she thinks that there should be a litmus (sp?) test for transplant patients and those who are not criminals and are American citizens should get first pick.

    It was insane!

  4. I don’t think it is insane. I think American citizens should get the transplants before foreigners. These people should go to the bottom of the list.
    My husband waited a year for a heart.

  5. Finally, the great foursome was back on Fox News Watch, with Jon Scott hosting. This is my favorite group.
    They got rid of Patricia Murphy, whom I thought didn’t have enought pizazz.

  6. I think Megyn Kelly is a drama queen and can’t decide which persona she wants to take on, the giggly flirtatious Megyn with Bill Hemmer, or the intellectual attorney personality she takes to Bill O’Reilly. Either way, I can’t stand her.

  7. Um, Has anybody paid attention to CNN’s slumping ratings? MSNBC seems to have moved ahead of them in many days in the primetime ratings in total viewers and demo viewers for the past two weeks.

  8. Another wrongly spelled word. Good Grief.
    I forgot to mention the four panelists on Fox News Watch.
    Cal, Jane, Jim and Juan.

  9. Cella,

    First let me say that I am so glad you husband got a heart and I hope he is doing well. by biggest beef wasn’t with the foreigners per se, I don’t think if you are here illegally you should be put on the transplant list at all. However, her biggest beef was that some guy who was apparently a mob boss received a transplant over someone with no criminal record. She then went on to pose a question to the guest who was a dr. asking him if Bin Laden were to come to the country does he have a right to get a transplant? The whole think was utterly ridiculous. Bin Laden? Really?

    It was all very dramatic and over the top.

  10. Cella: And I always thought your husband was Tucker Carlson!

    I’ll echo Jerziegirl’s comment that I hope he is feeling OK.

  11. Thanks, guys.
    My husband lived eight years after his transplant. The “gift of life” is so over used, but in these cases it is true.
    I will share some info with you. Transplant patients don’t usually die from rejection of the new organ. They die mostly from cancer, because their immune systems are so compromised from the medicine they take. And it is too big a job to fight the disease. This was the case with my husband.
    Jg, Megan was over the top, I agree.
