How many women are on the board at Faux News?

This is the same tactic they use for everything. They can always seem to find a black tea party member (in their studio), or an alleged gay man that doesn't believe in gay marriage or gay rights.

He was on the innovative M*A*SH, then "City of Angels" which I thought was ground-breaking in its own right. It was on only one season, but three of the episodes dealt with the subject of the plot to overthrow FDR (Lloyd Nolan played Gen. Smedley Butler). The episodes were called "The November Plan"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Angels_(1976_TV_series)

Loosely inspired by the popular 1974 film Chinatown,[6] City of Angels adopted the same cynical view of Depression-era Los Angeles, a place where Hollywood and crime competed for attention. This series also found its roots in Roy Huggins’ hard-boiled 1946 detective novel, The Double Take,[7] which had earlier provided the source material for another Huggins-created series, 77 Sunset Strip. Individual installments of this show were based on real-life events. The three-part pilot episode, “The November Plan,” was based on a notorious 1933 American conspiracy known as the Business Plot, which involved wealthy businessmen trying to bring down United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a coup. Another episode, "The Castle of Dreams," featured a pricey brothel where the prostitutes were movie-star lookalikes. That establishment was based on the historical T&M Studio (later fictionalized in L.A. Confidential as the "Fleur de Lis Club&quot . During the show's run, Nazism, communism, railroad-riding hoboes, and the Ku Klux Klan all figured into the plots.

Then I saw him years ago on an infomercial and now FOX...
