"A CRUEL AND UNUSUAL HIRING: 'Oh, tell me will you darlin', why you look so bad tonight? They's bags around your eyeballs which is red instead of white.' Is that what Roger Ailes was singing when he hired Greta Van Susteren for Fox? (The lyrics are from 'Temptation (Tim-Tayshun),' a number one song of 1947.)"
The song was recorded by Red Ingle and the Natural Seven, featured Cinderella G. Stump on vocal (a.k.a. Jo Stafford), and sold over 3 million copies in a time of 78's and when a sale of over 250,000 was called a hit.
I was tickled to see this comment, since Red Ingle was my father. For your information, Bear Family Records re-issued 28 of Red's Capitol recordings in a CD several years ago and it is still available as TIM-TAY-SHUN: Red Ingle and the Natural Seven.
p>I must say I concur with your comment about Greta Van Susteren re: CNN. Our local cable company does not carry Fox News so I will have to wait to see if your description fits her skin tuck, but thanks for the lyrical way of vicariously describing what you've seen. Now for the voice! br> -- Don Ingle br> Editor, "Michigan Forest Magazine" /p> p>
