During a breaking news update on the West Virginia coal mine disaster, Fox News anchor Shepard Smith informed the viewing audience that we were about to learn new of developments from a West Virgina Coal Mine spokesman. Alas – and predictably – instead we heard the caller call Jamie Foxx the worst word imaginable (in some circles, anyway). Oh Howard Stern fans – will your schtick ever grow tiresome? Actually, yes. Like right now for example.

The caller was clearly a fan of Howard Stern’s, who is reportedly currently embroiled in a rivalry with Sirius XM colleague Jamie Foxx. Smith handled it with aplomb, quickly apologizing, and noting that, in this instance when there were 6 (now 7) reported dead, that its very difficult to find humor in this sort prank call.

“…something about Jamie Foxx being called the worst word imaginable (in some circles anyway)…”

Someone called Jamie Foxx a progressive?

Actually, me coming in for a stupid one-liner here isn’t a whole lot better than what Stern’s people do, so…yeah. Be above that, self.

Screw that dude and good for FOX to cut him off so quickly.

I would like to say the shows that the networks and talking heads really don’t have a clue who it is that they put on the air. Which means probably some of the other people.
