In all fairness, one reason FOX doesn't call Raphael Edward Cruz, "Eduardo
Raphael Cruz," is because his name really is Raphael Edward Cruz.  I

first name, Willard.  What do you expect, anyway?  FOX tries very hard not
to eat their own young.

lol...all I expect from FoxNews is  _______________. Fill in the blank with any nasty expletive.
