Fox News anchor ED Hill has lost her show a week after suggesting Barack Obama and his wife Michelle's on-stage victory gesture could be seen as a "terrorist fist jab".

Hill, the anchor of Fox News show America's Pulse, made the comment last Friday after Obama and his wife affectionately bumped fists before his victory speech on becoming the Democratic candidate for president.

1. They have an unending list of air-headed bimbos to fill her spot but

when will they fire any of the male clowns like O'Lielly who once begged terrorists to bomb San Francisco's Coit Tower.

2. I'd like to see them actually fire someone for this crap

I guess it's good to see a very slight slap on the wrist, but if it's only a slap on the wrist then it isn't a deterrent.
