Marital sniping in the (Brit) Humes marriage? Wife leaves Faux

[kskiska]

Fox News' war zone is the D.C. bureau

Marital sniping may have led to the departure of Brit Hume's wife, Kim, from Fox News last week.

Kim Hume's imminent exit as Fox's D.C. bureau chief was announced Thursday. The buzz out of Washington is that she and the anchorman had been tattletaling on each other to the chairman and CEO of Fox Television Stations.

"They'd been calling Roger in New York separately," reports our source. "They'd complain to him about each other."

"Brit's not the easiest guy to get along with," said the source. "You disagree with him, and it's an argument. It's his way or the highway. is a tough cookie, but he speaks down to her in front of other people."

1. Oh dear trouble in neocon paradise...

:popcorn:

[hatrack]

2. Gosh, you mean Brit Hume's an overbearing asshole in his personal life?

No WAY!!!

:eyes:

3. I know! Who-da-thunk-it?

Shame on her for sleeping with that jackass in the first place.

4. My comments almost exactly

Hume is a pompous jackass. He lost any journalistic credibility when he joined Faux News. With their vitriolic and biased hatred of anything that is not neo-con, Faux is burying itself.

5. does anyone remember that his son committed suicide

because he was gay and his dad (brit) wouldn't accept him .

[brook]

6. Yes. I do.

Brit's another s.o.b. who's gonna be surprised when he makes the great last leap. I just don't know which circle of hell it's gonna be. It'll be the appropriate one though.

[Seen the light]

9. Wow, do you have a link to a story about that?

I've never heard anything about that and you've piqued my curiosity all of a sudden.

[JI7]

13. no link , but his name was Sandy Hume

you can do a search and probably come up with some info on it.

i think it happened almost 10 years ago. probably 8 as i remember it was around the time of Clinton administration and the whole Lewinsky crap.

16. Thanks nt

10. Wasn't it amid speculation that his lover was a congressman?

I seem to remember that much, but don't remember his (congressmans) name. Brit Hume is a sour loser. Imagine having to live with him. Glad Jon Stewart raked him over the coals tonight.

[JI7]

12. i remember hearing a bit about that also

but i don't remember much about it or who it was. mostly i remember that his dad wouldn't accept him and how he had a hard time dealing with that.

11. Mrs. Hume is getting a "Flat Brit".

It's just like those "Flat Daddies" they're giving out to the kids of servicemen.

"It's much quieter, and it even smiles occasionally," Mrs. Hume said approvingly, as she gazed lovingly at her "Flat Brit".

[Ilsa]

15. Yes, much easier to get along with. Probably a more

considerate lover.

[No Exit]

19. LOL! And it has more personality, too!

14. No surprise here. Son committed suicide, too...

Hume is a poor excuse for a human being, and I suspect he is toxic to anyone close to him. Destined for a life of unhappiness...karma, I guess.

18. That's pretty sad, actually. I was getting ready to say snide things, but

if their kid killed himself, I find nothing worth gloating about now. Suicides frequently break up families--including parents' marriages. The strain is unimagineable to us who've never experienced that. I of course still find Humes's slanted, sleazy, yellow journalism despicable. I pray I'm never so much like the Foxies that I find joy in their personal tragedies.

17. You mean Lillian and Herman Munster are splitzville?
