And yet another reason I watch Fox News.

I ganked this off of the NY Post Website.

January 31, 2005 -- EVEN in death, Rodney Dangerfield gets no respect. The late comedy legend's longtime publicist, Kevin Sasaki, got a call from a booker at CNN last week asking him if "Rodney would be available to share his comments on the passing and legacy of Johnny Carson." Sasaki replied that unless CNN had a new way of linking up to the afterlife via satellite, that would be impossible. Dangerfield, of course, passed away last October. Ironically, his new DVD set, "Rodney Dangerfield — The Ultimate No Respect Collection," was posthumously released last month, and includes clips culled from his more than 70 appearances on "The Tonight Show."

-man that is just sad.

But did Fox News report that CNN screwed up? If they did, that is just petty... lame, really.

I am so glad you have found a channel that appeases your entertainment and political venue.

I don't recall hearing anything on Fox News about this. I seriously doubt they would report on it though. They would consider it "beneath" them and not newsworthy at all. I, on the other hand, love shit like this.
