Just because Brian Kilmeade is 1/3 of the "friends" part of Fox and Friends, doesn't mean FNC owes the guy any favors. Truth be told, you watch that show for fifteen minutes and see who the most replaceable anchor is. Steve Doocy? No way man, he's the closest thing Fox has to a level-headed conservative. And Gretchen Carlson is the pretty face, much to Kilmeade's ire.

No, finding another whiny, giggly, preening Republican wouldn't be too hard for Fox to find, especially since at least a couple people are still pulling for Elisabeth Hasselbeck to join the dark side.

So when word hit the street that Brian tried playing hardball with Fox execs for a contract re-up and got shot down, exactly nobody was surprised. Kilmeade is a diva, and the only unexpected outcome of his theatrics was that he didn't get fired on the spot.

But now Brian is backtracking and sending angry voicemails to Huffpost saying that he never asked for any special treatment at Fox. Well, except for one, small, absurd request.

"It is 100 percent fiction," Kilmeade said in a phone call Tuesday. "I've never had a demand in my life. I had one request, and that was for tailored shirts. And that was met. And that was a request at the last minute. I have no demands. I get a car in every day. I take the train home at night. I have a great job, I've had it for 12 years."

Can you imagine the awesome scenario of Brian Kilmeade making a "last minute" request for a tailored shirt? God, I would give anything to talk to the P.A. who had to handle that little favor. There were certainly tears involved.

Moving forward though, Brian continues to exercise his amazing journalistic skills to call his current contract "by far the best ever," and continues to slobber all over Fox's hairy knob by saying "I am flabbergasted with the opportunities I've been given at Fox. Everybody I talk to, I just praise, because I can't believe how well I've been treated."

Um, Fox's reaction? "Brian continues to be a valued member of the top morning show on cable." Riiiiiight.
