Boortz Suffering the Fools on Tucker (VIDEO)

Well, this was a semi-event because as Neal has has his previous experiences with Randi Rhodes and other liberal mic-hogs, he refuses to engage in the major shoutfests, so he keeps quiet and lets them open mouth and insert foot. Neal has been doing talk radio for 36 years, so he’s not playing games.

This is a segment Tucker calls “3 on 3,” which is kind of misleading when you conside the participants. Neal is outnumbered, because Tucker is not a true Conservative in my opinion, and Neal is a Libertarian who hates left-wing nutjobs. Jerry Springer and Jennie Backus are both dem party operatives, so we know their side. So, this wasn’t 3 on 3… this was almost 4 on 1, but Neal held his own.

By the way, am I the only one who thinks Backus probably uses the same eyelift plastic surgeon that Nancy Pelosi does? Prop up the upper and lower lids with stents no thicker than toothpicks, but make sure the eyes are always wide open. Folks, that is just creepy. Almost as creepy as Laura Schwartz’ right-titled full-tooth grin with no lips.

And not to disappoint, even though Neal is being passive/aggressive, Springer just can’t help himself.

Can you believe this guy? And yes, I mean Springer. Why is he even in the spotlight anymore? I thought his 15 minutes of fame were over LOOOONG ago about the time Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” was on the disco top 10. It’s time for him to go away. I will, however, make this observation. This Backus character and some of he other leftwing whackos that appear on Tucker and other MSNBC shows are ones that you rarely RARELY ever see on other cable show to ‘opine.” Gee, after this, I wonder why. A vast bank of braintrusts they are not.

Watch the 3-some here.

When Did Tucker Carlson Get His Juris Doctorate? (VIDEO)

by MsUnderestimated — Categories: Just Plain Wrong, One Way Ticket to Hell, Pedophiles, Video — 1 Comment

…probably about the same time he received his latest Nielson ratings report from the bosses over at the Peacock.

Unbelievable. I was bored today, so I watched other stuff besides my normal fare. Is it any wonder people like Tucker Carlson have to have their MSNBC show run two times in a single day’s primetime (4PM EST, 6PM EST)? If you can believe this, today Tucker was questioning the Utah Attorney General, Mark Shurtleff, about why polygamist and pedophile, Warren Jeffs, was on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list! Shurtleff repeatedly reminds Tucker that Jeffs has felony charge warrants against him, but Tucker wants to know why the FBI is taking up alleged valuable space on the 10 Most Wanted list with a harmless, clean-cut polygamist like Jeffs.

According to Fox News:

Warren Steed Jeffs, 50, was arrested without incident just outside Las Vegas late Monday after more than a year on the run, the FBI said. No weapons were found, but the 2007 red Cadillac Escalade he was riding in was filled with items including three wigs, 15 cell phones and tens of thousands of dollars in cash and gift cards, authorities said.

Jeffs has led the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since 2002 and is said to have at least 40 wives and nearly 60 children. Church dissidents say that underage marriages â€” some involving girls as young as 13 â€” escalated into the hundreds under his leadership, and that he broke apart families by casting out married men and reassigning their women and children to others.

Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard told KTAR-AM of Phoenix that Jeffs’ arrest marks “the beginning of the end of … the tyrannical rule of a small group of people over the practically 10,000 followers of the FLDS sect.” He predicted it will lead more people to come forward with allegations of sexual abuse.

And I hope the judge who presides over his bail hearing reads this part:

Items inside the vehicle included $54,000 (euro 42,160) in cash, gift cards totaling $10,000 (euro7,800), the cell phones and wigs, four laptop computers, a GPS device, a police scanner, and numerous unopened envelopes that were thought to contain more cash, Lewis said.

Jeffs was being held Tuesday in Clark County jail, awaiting a court hearing on a federal charge of unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

The two people traveling with him, wife Naomi Jeffs and a brother, Isaac Steed Jeffs, both 32, were released and will not be charged, FBI agent Steven Martinez said.

Jeffs is wanted in Utah and Arizona on charges of arranging two marriages between underage girls and older men. The charges include two counts of rape as an accomplice in Utah, with each count punishable by up to life in prison.

He had been on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list since May, with a $100,000 (euro 78,000) reward offered for information leading to his capture.

People this is one of the things that is wrong with America. Men arranging marriages between 13-year-old girls and adult men? Having children just so you can give them to someone when they get “old enough?” This man is a very evil man, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out why Tucker believes he has the criminal justice acumen to even judge whether or not he should be on the 10 Most Wanted List, much less try to infer the FBI had put Jeffs in the same moral equivalence status as Usama bin Laden. Like I said; unbelievable.

Tucker keeps saying he’s a Conservative, but it’s segments like this that make me a) wonder how he can claim that, and b) puzzle over where he gets his definition of morals, or the basics of what’s right or wrong. Shurtleff finally winds up saying out of exasperation “Of all the people that have been interested in this, you are the ONLY one who thinks that, you know, who questions law enforcement in doing what they are (sic).”

Like Shurtleff, I’d like to know where Tucker gets the temerity to pontificate judiciously on Jeffs’ history. I’d also like to know where Tucker got his Juris Doctorate. I have a money order ready and waiting to be mailed immediatledly for mine!

Serioualy though, folks, I’m not joking. I would transcribe this, but it’s just too insane to believe what Tucker says. A brief quote from his MSNBC site:

Aug. 30: To hear the government tell it, the capture of Warren Jeffs is a major victory. Jeffs was on the FBIâ€™s “Ten Most Wanted” list, along with Osama bin Laden, and Whitey Bulger, who’s charged with eighteen counts of murder. Tucker asks Utahâ€™s attorney general if the country is safer.

Like the Utah Atty. General says, ask Jeffs’ victims if they think he was “dangerous” or not. It will be interesting to see what they find on those laptops they took into evidence from the traffic stop. Perv!

Shep’s Interview With Steve & Olaf, & Greta ‘After the Show’ (VIDEO)

by MsUnderestimated — Categories: Fox News, Hamas, True Heroes, Video — 1 Comment

Shepard Smith got to interview Steve Centanni & Olaf Wiig today on Studio B, and it was yet another insight to their 13-day ordeal in captivity. You can see the relief on Shep’s face, and hear it in his voice. You can especially see/hear it in Steve and Olaf today – perhaps a bit more rested.

I was having the same “thought” (read “fear”) that Steve was: the 5th anniversary of 9/11 coming up, and Steve thought about that… and so did I. But thank God they’re home. Watch Shep’s interview with them here.

Now on to Greta….

I was checking around the web today, and I found Greta Van Susteren’s blog. Her entry from today was truly heartfelt, and revealed that there was more to Steve and Olaf’s story than they could tell last night. Well, of course! They were gone 13 days, and a lot happened then. Here are some of Greta’s reflections from her interview last night:

I hope you watched last night’s show: an entire hour with Steve Centanni, his brother, Olaf Wiig, his wife and Jennifer Griffin. I enjoyed doing the interview â€” in fact, I was thrilled to do it. It is not often that I get to do a very important story, a story that is very personal to all of us and which has a good ending!

My job was essentially to say “go” and then they told the riveting story of the kidnapping and the efforts to free them. I had no heavy lifting in this show. I did find a huge challenge: How do you condense 13 days each with a 24 harrowing hours into a one-hour show with commercials? At the end of the show I felt disappointed that you did not hear more â€” there is so much more to this story.

But as I hoped, she did not forget about Jennifer Griffin:

By the way, how about Jennifer Griffin and her Jerusalem bureau chief? They are tough and determined! They are also very smart, but you know that if you have watched their work. That is obvious.

With all the trouble in the Middle East, I have gotten to know Jennifer Griffin. I can’t say enough good things about her and her work as a journalist. She is truly amazing. She is one of those people who when I walk past a television and hear her talking, no matter what I am doing, what time it is, whether it is a day off or not, I always stop. I always learn something from her.

I sat on the sidelines on this one â€” safely in my studio and not in Gaza â€” and watched and, of course, worried, but having seen the efforts and the product of my colleagues in this crisis has made me enormously proud to be a colleague.

Now THAT’S a heart-warming story. You can read all of Greta’s blog entry here.

Steve & Olaf on Greta, Talking About Their Ordeal – (VIDEOS)

by MsUnderestimated — Categories: Fox News, Hamas, Terrorism, Video — 48 Comments

***NEW CONTENT BELOW 08/31/06***

Greta Van Susteren had a very special show tonight. She had the first interview with Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig since their release from their kidnapping and torture in Gaza City only this past Sunday, 08/27/06.

I was brought to tears when Olaf revealed that the kidnappers thought Steve was a CIA agent, military officer and spy, and told Olaf they were going to have to kill Steve. Olaf told them who he was, but somehow they had Googled Steve’s name and found out that he had been at Uday and Qusay’s home after their death, and they thought Steve might have been part of the military because of that, but apparently Olaf convinced them otherwise.

The apparent calm these two men display tonight is unbelievable, as none of us can imagine what they went through. We can all conjecture what we might have done or felt, but unless it is you, you just cannot even begin to imagine.

Steve demonstrating the pistols put to their heads

Olaf and Steve were later joined by Olaf’s wife, Anita McNaught and by Steve’s brother on the set. Greta kept reminding us that even though the rest of the world thought that Fox was doing or saying nothing about the incident on the air, movements and activities behind the scenes were flurried, and nobody at Fox was without worry. It was a very difficult day and weeks for the Fox family, as well as all other journalists around the world, I hope.

Anita and Olaf together again

Jennifer Griffin then comes in to the show tonight, and I gotta tell you; she’s my new SuperWoman for what she did to help get this resolved, along with Anita McKnaught.

These kidnappers are goons, thugs, blood-thirsty murderers who deserve nothing but swift justice. This is by far not the last we’ve heard of this story. Because of their “conversions” to Islam at gunpoint, and later denouncement of same, a lot of people are now fearing for them should they return to Gaza because they’ve now shunned “Islam,” which they had no other choice but to convert to lest they be killed. These were two very brave men, and the families behind them were and continue to be remarkable. I know the entire Fox family and “family” families are now breathing a sigh of relief now that they’re safely on American soil. I hope soon that Bush calls them to the White House and opens the doors for them. These guys need medals of honor for valor and heroism, and Anita McKnaught, Jennifer Griffin, and the JPS also deserve formal recognition for tirelelessly working for their release.

The one thing that comes from this is NEVER – GIVE – UP!

Warning – A couple of the videos below are large to retain integrity without interruption until the actual show breaks. If you want smaller, lower-res videos, email me at MsUnderestimated@gmail.com.

God bless these men, and protect them from further harm. And Steve and Olaf, I’m not trying to tell you guys what to do because I’m no expert, but I’ve read enough about Islam to know you guys can be in real danger now if you go back; especially if the video gets out (and you know it has via Al Jazeera) that you admitted you only “converted” at gunpoint because that was the only way to survive.

I have one last point I want my readers to ponder. Yes, Steve and Olaf are now released and back on American soil, but picture this in your mind. You’re in your home, Al Gore or John Kerry are sitting in office, and all of a sudden, your door bursts open in Middle America. There’s now a boot to your neck, you’re on the floor, an AK47 stuck to your head, and you’re told if you don’t convert to Islam, you’re going to be killed. What would you do? I don’t know what I would do at that moment, but I do know what I will do in ’06 and ’08 – and that is vote to keep the people in office who will make this the least likely possible scenario to happen here in my home. But remember, if the Jihadists have their way, it would be happening, and right on our doorsteps. We cannot afford to let the peace-at-any-price crowd blind us to what the true important issues are of this day: the protection of our country and our allies against global Jihad.

The video segments are here, here, here, here, and here.

God bless everyone at Fox, all my friends, all lovers of freedom everywhere; our President, our military men and women, and more importantly, God Bless the U.S.A.

P.S. I will try to post a partial transcript tomorrow, but it is too late tonight – I ran out of time. The videos are brilliant, and will give you goosebumps.

Also sent to Jo’s Cafe, bRight&Early, Blue Star Chronicles, and Stop the ACLU, Michelle Malkin, and HotAir. Again to Stop the ACLU, and Blue Star Chronicles reminds us of the part where Steve and Olaf said the terrorists didn’t like to be called “Islamic Fascists”. Was this comment also made at gunpoint?

***ADDITIONAL CONTENT***

If you thought THIS video was great, there’s another one on the Fox Fan page. (h/t to reader David)

This one lasts 11 minutes, 22 seconds, and it’s Steve and Olaf answering viewers’ questions who have emailed Greta. This is probably more insightful than the one that aired on Greta’s initial interview. Greta’s readers asked some darn good questions, and I loved the answers. A reader asks if they were angry, and I was glad to hear them both say they were. Steve again talked about how he was impressed with Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin and Eli Fasman, going up to shady bad guys yelling at them, basically telling them they were full of it, and they should go get something done! HA! You go, girl! I knew Jennifer had it in her for that. I could tell that neither she nor Anita McKnaught would ever stop until they got them freed. Thank you ladies.
