Leaving Early
Good morning Everyone. I’m not feeling well so I’m gonna head home early this morning. But feel free to keep chatting with each other today and I’ll respond when I’m back tomorrow. I know you get frustrated when the moderating is not instantaneous and I promise to yell at someone for you, just as soon as I’m feeling better. In fact, that’s great incentive.
Have a great day!

Sorry you are not feeling well this morning and I hope you are better soon.
Ms. Alisyn,
Sorry to hear you are feeling puny this morning. Get some rest and we hope you will return to us in the AM.
chas
I don’t blame you for needing to leave early… all that Wright stuff is beginning to make me feel ill.
I Hope you feel better soon.
Maybe it wasn’t something I ate, after all.
Hey Alisyn,
How do you manage to look so good when you’re sick? Hope you feel better.
By the way, tell Maureen, I would live on a Caribbean Island if I could! Someday, I want to live in Hawaii!
Pat
The answer to your question? Maureen.
Sorry you are feeling poorly. It sure didn’t show on the show. More proof you need a raise, whatever they are paying you now. You should be able to move up from a Chevette to a Cobalt by now.
Reaaally nice dress. Not often my attention gets pull away from your legs, but, head to toe today, for sure.
Thank you!
Alisyn,
I Hope you feel better real soon!!!
Mark M
Thank you Mark. I do.
I am sure I am the 200th person to say .. Hurry and and feel better.
Thanks Kurtis!
Hi Alysin, I thought you looked very energetic this am,hope you feel better
Ali sorry you are unwell. I sure hope AJ can get a full time job as your helper!! Get well!
Me too!
Alisyn, If you dont feel good you should go home and get some rest,
and we will see you tomorrow,
I hope you feel better Alisyn.
Sal
I am sorry to hear your not feeling well. I hope you feel better soon, because as you well know us moms can’t afford to be sick. It creates panic attacks.
Feel better soon.
Laurie
So true Laurie — there’s never a day off in motherhood.
Good Morning
I have always heard that everyone enjoys his own 15 minutes of fame Rev. Wright is now enjoying his. Now all that needs to happen is the media needs to let it end. Then the ownly thing left is for the media to report his passing sometime in the future.
I am sure alot of people feel the same way.
RM McGee
It’s lasted a lot longer than 15 minutes…
Hi Alisyn, we all miss you and hope your felling better real soon.
Thanks Nate!
Alisyn,
I don’t get to watch,the show as often as I’d like,but,when you’re gone its noticed…..Hoping you fell better soon….we’ll keep you in our prayers
Thanks Butch!
Alisyn,get well.
Alisyn, Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well! Take it easy and get better! However, yiu sure did look absolutely beautiful this morning. Pink is a great color on you and I would look forward to seeing you in more pink outfits. You hid you illness well!
Hope the tractor trailer of pink roses and the tanker truck of perfume arrived as I planned.

Sorry your not feeling well. Miss your smile and news presentations.
I would also like to see a ground swell of Americans letting this Pastor from Chicago feel their utter discuss of his views and statements regarding America. I would love to see a T-Shirt for sale somewhere with his picture on it stating Sign me up for one.
P.S. Not in the t-shirt business…………

sorry you’re feeling funky-
what happens if rev.wright endorses hillary?
Alli,
Does this mean you are taking a “personal day” to fly down here for turkey hunting?
Can I do the yelling at AJ and the on-line turkeys. I promise to be fair, balanced, tactful, and not a hater. I will up hold your standards of equal opportunity to write whatever as long as the entries remain civil, don’t criticize Brian and Steve (You and Gretch can do no wrong), and….whatever else comes to mind.
Hope you are feeling better.
Will Penny
Good morning Alisyn,
Sorry to hear you’re feeling a little punk. You take care of yourself and don’t hurry back too soon, ensure you are all better before venturing back to work. We will all be here waiting for you.
Take care.
Alli,
BTW, Mr. Tom Turkey was dispatched by my neighbor. I’ll have to rest up and plan another hunt.
WP
Hope you feel better tomorrow.
Good morning Alysin…..I surely hope you feel better. You must feel really bad to actually leave.
I will be very glad when the responses come up quicker. I do appreciate, however, that this is a more civilized site than some, so the wait is annoying, however, it seems to keep it nicer. Get well…:)
I hope you feel better Alisyn. I’m enjoying the Before the Show Show with you and Brian. I’m a teacher so I only get to watch Fox & Friends First and I know that if I’m not out the door by the time I see Gretchen I’m going to be late. Thanks for getting me going in the morning.
Hope you are feeling better. Gretchen did a good job doing the news updates for you this morning but you were missed. Didn’t get any damage in Newport News from the Suffolk tornado yesterday jsut lots of wind and rain!!
Alisyn, I hope you feel better, see you tomorrow.
Sal
Alisyn,
Aww, I hate you are sick. Time for a little TLC and some rest. I hope you feel better and get well soon. You are missed but, sometimes, you have to take care of you.
Alisyn,
Since you’re home today and kicked back with your feet up, I thought I’d just throw out a question. Why is it against the law for those cult nuts to have sex with underage children, yet no one questions that Spears girl who is pregnant at 15, or the Cyrus girls who poses topless at the age of 15. Seems to me we have a double standard. Why is it okay for “Hollywood” to act that way, but we’re putting this cult in jail. I’m not defending the cult, they’re wrong and those kids should be protected, but we put the spears girl on all the magazines covers and make her out a queen. If one goes to jail, why not the other?
Alli,
Clearly I was too late. You have been exposed to something nefarious by those two villians Snidley Whiplash and Oil Can Harry (see yesterdays pictures).
Fortunately you were in the company of others therefore, you were not bound and tied to a railroad track. I think they have forsaken that practice because the trains do not run like they used to.
I can only recommend seeing Dr. Manny. If he is not in then my only suggestion is a strong tonic and sleep. To get even with AJ taking off a day without telling you, have him come in and take care of the kids. That’ll show him.
Hope you are back soon.
Will Penny
P.S. I guess this means you will not be going turkey hunting with me.
Dear Allyson,
I don’t get to watch you all the time since I leave for school at 7:30 a.m. I hope you feel better. I really enjoy you and Steve and Brian and Gretchen on Fox and Friends. Take care of yourself.
Mylinda Hughes
Get well soon!
hi ali, sorry to hear you are not feeling well hope you get to rest at home an re-generate
the show is just not the same without you feel better
Alli,
You know this “not feeling well” could mean you are pregnant
Miss you and hope you feel beter. Drink some grapefruit juice
I’m no doctor James, but I’m 100 percent certain that’s not the diagnosis
You’re already missed Alisyn, but your well-being is much more important to us, so please take all the time you need to get yourself thoroughly healthy before you return.
Until then, take good care.
Thinking of you
Hi Alisyn
I love your wit…you are a great asset to the show. Feel better!
Deb
Yiou take care of yourself and don’t return until you are all better. We will be here waiting for you.
Listened to the story on the passengers that had to leave the cruise ship because their baby was sick. Did anybody get Royal Caribbean’s side? There are lots of stories on the internet that the cruise line did the right thing.
I think a followup story should be done.
The cruise line did everything they could to help the family.
Alisyn, Hope you’re feeling much better by the time you see this (if you ever do, since about half of posts get dumped).
I do hope you get a chance to rest and recover at home, but often that is not the case for moms. We men tend to whine and feel like the world should stop when we are ill, but moms still have to take care of everyone/everything else (kids and hubby) first. I salute you (hugs of comfort) and sincerely hope you are well cared for.
alisyn/ hope u feel better . today as every day u looked great i love white on u ,
Feel better soon! I know you are not well, but were did the red wrap dress you have come from (meaning store/label) I love it.
For Dan Faust,
Alisyn several times during the interview mentioned what Royal Carribbean had said in response and also mentioned that Royal Carribbean’s full reply could be read on the “Fox & Friends” webpage. This was also put up in a graphic during the interview.
I looked and sure enough it is right there on the F&F webpage.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,352991,00.html
Alisyn is too good of a journalist to not make sure that both sides are given a chance to be known.
Alisyn,
Get to feeling better! F&F is not the same without you. We need our morning star to get our day started right!
hi alisyn,
i watch your show every morning and i think you and grechen have the most sexiest legs.i have heard that katie on cbs has the sexiest legs on tv but i think you and greshen do. i bet your husbands are proud of the way you both look i know i would be.
hi Alisyn,
I HOPE YOU FELL BETTER TOMORROW.I KNOW YOU LOOK SO HOTT!!!! YOU AND GRETCHEN HAVE THE MOST SEXIEST LEGS I HAVE EVER SEEN. I HAVE HEARD THAT KATIE KOURIC HAS THE SEXIEST LEGS ON TV BUT I HAVE TO DISAGREE I THINK YOU AND GRETCHEN DO WOW YOU BOTH ARE SO HOTT!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP WEARING THOSE VERY SHORT DRESSES AND I WILL KEEP WATCHING. THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS MAKING MY DAY.

Oh, good, capitalizing your note made it easier to understand.
WOW Ms. Alisyn,
I just got home and started watching F&F 1st and have to say you look better not feeling well than the majority of people look feeling great.
Tell hubby to get home and tend to you so you can return in the AM.
chas
Dear Ali
I hope the clouds pass quick and we get our Alisynshine back tommorrow, Take care of yourself,
ORDERS FROM HEADQUARTERS! We need our global warming in the morning. Even if the tree huggers don’t like it.
Dear Alisyn…sorry to hear you’re not feeling well…you should enjoy my chicken soup to put you back in the pink…see below:
1 fryer chicken
1/2 Cup Celery
1/2 Cup Carrots
1/2 Cup Onion
1 clove garlic
1/2 tsp. dried dill
1/8 tsp. Cayenne Pepper or Sweet Hungarian Paprika
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. Black Pepper
Saute the Celery, Carrots and Onion in a little butter. Add the rest of the ingredients and cover with water. Cook over medium heat (about 3 hours) and skim the fat (save the fat). After cooking drink the broth (only) until you feel better.
You will feel better soon. Obviously, Brian brought back someting from his cruise and gave it to you. I wish I could make it for you.
Shalom Aleichem, Mark P.
We can use your sweetness for carbon credits and benifit life on earth.
I can understand you not feeling well, Brian would make anybody sick(just kidding). Get well soon!
I look forward to seeing you again in the morning. I have so much fun learning and watching the news with you guys. I never realized that news can be entertaining. You guys do a GREAT JOB!!!!
Sherry
I want jump on the it was Brian’s fault bandwagon. Why else let him hang around on set unless you can blame him for something every once in a while.
Alisyn - I hope your are feeling much better by now as I’m posting in the early eve.
I’m amazed at the amount of people who keep comparing the pregnant teens from the FLDS Compound with teenage pregnancy in the U.S. - ie. Jamie Spears. MOST of the pregnant teens in the U.S. are pregnant by their TEENAGE boyfriends. The girls from FLDS are pregnant by MEN in their FORTIES and FIFTIES. In modern U.S. culture this is rape and molestation. They are comparing apples to turnips.
I wanted to reach through my t.v. this a.m. and slap the stuffing out of the Fox News Legal Analysist - whose name I didn’t catch. Leave it to a MAN to decide that when a young girl begins her menstral cycles she is now physically ready to give birth. Girls are starting their cycles at much younger ages now, 11, 12, 13. Their bodies ARE NOT physically developed for child bearing and child birth. He had absolutely no compassion for them NOR did he think it was child rape and molestation if I understood him correctly. And this was followed with the report showing a child being beaten on a bus by another child and he was absolutely up in arms saying WE NEED TO PROTECT THESE CHILDREN. Well in my opinion WHAT A HYPOCRITE! Yes the child on the bus needs to be protected from the bullies but so do the children being “spiritually” married to those perverted older child rapists.

Alli is a force of nature. I have been reading the entries and the admiration for this quintessential American woman is impressive. Check it out (like Randy Jackson): mother, wife, professional, stunning, plus a certain combination of personality composed of elements of Lucile Ball and Gilda Radner.
I entered the Alishpere long before I participated in the Greenroom (I am suggesting a poll be taken for a name change to something other than the Greenroom like the Aliroom) blog. Since becoming an Aliblogger I have found I really enjoy the discussion. Imagine what this blog would be like without persons comparing the USA to Nazi Germany.
Imagine how misinformed or uniformed all would be if we did not have fellow bloggers that believe slavery is still operative, when after all it was settled 160 years ago. That does not mean I believe racism disappeared with the passage of the Emancipation Proclaimation. That would be naive and denial.
However, I was inspired by MLK’s “I have a dream speech!” I know that all persons bleed one color, not white, black, asian, hispanic, arab, persian. They don’t bleed African, Asian, European, nor Native American (indigenous peoples for the pc crowd).
Some of the controversery of late has frightening elements of hate. What would these haters have our society and county do? Engage in an another civil war? Engage in a race war? Embrace the failed philosophies of socialism and communism? Should we nationalize everything like Fidel did and Hugo-a-gogo Chavez is doing.
God gave us brains. Brains to develop cures for disease; brains for developing economic systems.
Seems to me that people better know “…the history of your country” (rent or watch “The Quiet Man”).
Gotta go, God Bless the USA.
Will Penny
AMEN Vicky!!!! You stated everything I have been feeling.
Even Greta has been on the “young girls get pregnant all the time” bandwagon.
How utterly ridiculous!!! I even found myself screaming at the T.V.
Lawyers—Who needs em????
PS My husband was immediately aware of Alisyns absence this am.
Don’t think he would even miss me that quickly.
Poor little babyeeeee!!!!!!
Come to daddy.
Huge Fan,

Hey, where is my reply !
I love your feet. Please show more of them.
I can’t. I only have two.
HUGH FAN!!!!!!!
THRU: The Aliblog
TO: Alibloggers that support Obama.
I have read a few remarks that BOH is the hope of America and that if he is not selected as the next President of the United States (assuming he clears the Dem nomination hurdle) that this will prove racism is the only reason he is not selected/elected.
Not so fast. BOH may sound like JFK with that poser speech pattern, his family may remind the electorate of JFK, Jackie, et. al., BUT, Barrack is no JFK {to borrow from Senator Lloyd Benson to Dan Quayle (which was a cheap shot by Sen Benson)}.
America is the HOPE of the world. Freedom and democracy are the HOPE of the world. Not
Barrack, not socialism, progressivism, not liberation theology. Free people living in a free market society in a Republic, which is also a democracy is the HOPE OF THE WORLD.
If you don’t understand what I have written (not taking credit for the philosophy, only living it) you better go back to high school, preferrably not a public one. Sorry if that hurts, but facts are facts.
Will Penny
Hope you’re feeling better. Please tell Gretchen that she is really one classy lady. In the AtSS she and Steve were outside in the rain and decided to move inside. Steve and the 2 guests went right in but Gretchen graciously took the time to shake hands with the fans, pose for pictures with the fans, talk to them. She could have just waved and ran in out of the rain but she took the time and probably made their day. That is pure class.
You sure couldn’t tell from your spirit that you were feeling poorly. You are a wonderful person to see each morning. Take care of yourself and hope today you are 100% better!
CORRECTION TO: ALIBLOGGERS THAT SUPPORT OBAMA
Inadvertently inverted his initials: Should read BHO. Sorry, not the best typist.
BTW: I posted and email to Friends@foxnews.com wondering if the stunningly beautiful Gretchen Carlson will take the reins of the Alliblog. No reply.
I have some other candidates: Julie Banderas, Megyn Kelly, Mollie (sp?) Line, Jaime Colby.
Any volunteers?
Will Penny
Will,
I fear that we are left to or own design today.
I wonder what the Obama supporters that thought he was so brave for not distancing himself from Wright are going to spin now, since he just more or less disowned him?
chas
Ali- got a bad clam huh? awww gee wiz. feel better soon! Want me to bring you some soup? Blackhawk Chris
Dear Alisyn
Hope you’re feeling better soon. Your presence was missed.
Sickness in the morning - morning sickness. Is there something you’re not telling us like another addition to F&F?
Alisyn,
I’ve noticed a number of emails in reference to your legs, short dresses and feet. Sounds like you’re a “10″ with many viewers. However, I like you for your wit and mind. However, there was this outfit you wore, yea—, it was leather looking, I remember thinking, er—well, back to your wit and mind, you’ve got a great wit and mind. I don’t want to lower myself in talking about legs, feet, etc.
Just thinking out loud: wonder what doing the news in “daisy dukes” would do for the ratings?
Aha, Confused say” sleep in bed alone and morning sickness not come upon you” Anyway Ali that was me trying to be funny to cheer you up, see you in the morning
I still can not open any news videos on the entire Fox station. This has been going on now for two weeks. Can anyone tell me why. I even tried a computer with that Foxfire and that did not work. I can open news videos on CNN but not Fox. If this question has been answered, please forgive me, I was out sick several days last week.
Thanks tons,
Mary
Chas,
I sent a reply but the jackals got it.
Here is a recap:
1. No idea how BHO will spin out of this one. BHO should have taken a lesson from the Clinton’s and Incorporated. Clinton Inc War Room is capable of anything. They dealt with the Vince Foster affair, the Bimbo eruptions, the pardons, the campaign funds (from Communist China) for favors (ICBM inertial guidance systems software), the list goes on and on. That is the primary reason they want back in TWH. They will need the Army Corps of Engineers to bury all the dirt they have created.
2. The thing to watch for (is as WJC says) “distractions.” Something major will come to pass to get the public frothing at the mouth. The “distraction” diverts the publics anger away from the real news. The front pages of the Main Stream Media and the evening news will follow the first rule of old journalism, “The media is the message.” That is whatever the talking heads spew is what the majority will believe. (Plug: One exception - Fox News Channel)
3. WJC was not the inventor of this media management. The inventor (in my memory) was LBJ. The story goes n Lyndon’s first run for Congress he was losing. He and his campaign manager were lamenting the lack of dirt on the frontrunner. A light bulb appeared over Lyndon’s head. He told his “handler” to report that his competitor was having an affair. The story was published despite objects. Lyndon won, and the next day they published a retraction and an apology. This technique was developed by the guy who had the temerity to wear “The Silver Star” on his lapel even though he never won the decoration.
Hope this one makes it. I copied it to Word so that when I get to go to NYC I am going to watch as Alli gives a spack down to the media mavens that keep despositing my entries in the digital bit bucket.
Will Penny
Chas,
Confoundit. I just realized I did not properly credit the phrase “The Media is the Message.” I believe that is the title of a book by Marshall McCluen (sp?) (not fellow Allibloggers marshall or marshall g).
The other anecdotes I culled from the newspapers and from hangin out on the block with other Vast Right Wing Conspirators.
Gotta go to work to pay my bills.
Lets hope the spectacular, marvelous, Alli recuperates and returns tomorrow.
Will Penny
Mr. Will,
Tough to be an old fart, (like me), when you actually remember people like LBJ. As memory serves that election serve him well until JFK came along and finished him in tolkengate, in a manner of speaking. When no amount of spin could save him from the situation in Nam.
Actually, I give Obama some credit for attempting to run a clean run for office, but he should have had Dick Morris on hand. Of course then Obama would have told him not to run at all, and if he listened to Morris he wouldn’t have.
In any event, though I thought to try and kick off some debate, I cannot replace Ms. Alisyn in any measure and we are a poor group of chat without her. Not some much a commentary on us as a compliment of her.
If you have any left over after paying bills….lol
My respects,
chas
Oh my gosh! You probably still look very pretty. I wake up at 6:30 every morning so I can FOX and Friends for 75 minutes before I load the school bus to go to school.
I wanted to ask, where are you on the campaign 2008? I personally, if I could vote, would go with McCain. He has a sturdy healthcare plan and feels the need to lower gas prices (Don’t critisize me if I’m not completely right. ‘m only 11!!!). I really don’t care for Hillary because she tries way to hard. With the crying over her opinions and critisizing over Obama. Obama is just plain insane! I mean what is up with Wright! How can we trust him if he was listening to Wright all of these years! Hillary and Obama… they need to take it down a notch. If they continue fighting, everyone will eventually realize that they are just too childish to be running a whole freaking country!
Remember how McCain said that he would fight himself in war for another hundred years. People were thinking that he was supporting the war. He really only meant that he is so concerned for his country that he would risk his own life for as long as it took for the war to be ended. I hope you and the other reporters feel this way.
Hope you feel better!
Sincerely,
Lauren F., 11
Get better soon, Aly!
i hope you arent feeling sick again. hope to see you back on the air soon.
