[scifinoir2] Re: LL Cool J Challenges Fox News on Promotion of Palin Show
The interview was over 2 years old and sitting in a can. Since the formerly scary black man is now on a show that the Faux audience watches they dug it up to give Palin's lame show a boost. The thing that was funny was their bs attempt to disrespect him by calling him a fledgling actor. Really? So being a working actor for just shy of 20 years makes you a newbieright. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Martin Baxter martinbaxt...@... wrote: Axe?
