fox news fired him because he is a drunk...hit a parked car out at Del Rio on 32nd street...he was 3 sheets in the wind
Welcome back to Joplin, where the locals are perfect, and therefore, very judgemental.
(See above post) I imagine that person has never done anything wrong. #sarcasm
Be careful, anyone who is opposite the man devouring, no talent, career ending Jessica better keep their eyes open with her claws.....
Just want him to be more professional and not put his coworkers on the spot trying to be funny I guess
