Ah well. Fox “news” continues to earn their “”'s.

Yeah, what did Edwards say? Since I refuse to watch Fox for obvious reasons, all I saw was The Daily Show’s clip, which stopped short of telling us what he said. Did he actually have the psychic balls to tell us one way or the other what Terri wants done now? Or did he hedge it and fuzzy it up for us again?
DoctorJ, I hereby nominate you for the:
Nobel prize in Medicine and Literature
The Oscar for Best Video Editing
The Victorian Cross
The Congressional Medal of Honor
The People Choice Award for Best New Male Performer
Maybe with those credentials Fox News will let you comment on the Schiavo case. Oh wait, that’s right, your saying stuff they don’t want to hear.
Fox news hasn’t just earned their own Pit Thread.
They’ve provided enough fodder to earn their own forum.
Personally, I’d love to see John Edward facilitate communication between the Schiavos. Live on the air.
JE: She wants you to know that she wants to live.
MS: Please ask her this: Where is the key to the liquor cabinet?
JE: Er, uh, she loves you very much.
MS: Liquor. Cabinet.
JE: She doesn’t want to pass yet.
MS: Read my lips, assmunch. Key. Liquor. Cabinet.
JE: Uh… She didn’t drink. Now, about…
MS: Like a fucking fish she didn’t. Tell me where.
JE: …her spirit…
MS: Look, fuckbomb – the next words out of your mouth better be “Kitchen utility drawer” or “under the porch doormat” or “In my black purse.”
JE: Um, her spirit says to look in her blue purse.
MS: Blue purse?
JE: Yes, the blue one. The key is in there.
MS: The one with the plasic daisies?
JE: Yes, the blue one with the plastic daisies.
MS: She doesn’t have blue purse, you big fucking fake.
JE: Uh… Hey, look over there! runs away
Nah, tdn, he’d never let himself be cornered like that. Try:
JE: She wants you to know that she wants to live.
MS: Please ask her this: Where is the key to the liquor cabinet?
JE: Er, uh, she loves you very much.
MS: Liquor. Cabinet.
JE: She feels you’re focusing on irrelevant things right now. The important thing is -
MS: Read my lips, assmunch. Key. Liquor. Cabinet.
JE: Uh… She’s feeling frightened by your anger, she’s starting to fade…
MS: Look, fuckbomb – the next words out of your mouth better be “Kitchen utility drawer” or “under the porch doormat” or “In my black purse.”
JE: She feels you’re letting your emotions get in the way of helping her. She’s gone.
Really, haven’t you noticed he’s simply Deana Troi with a haircut and boob reduction?
(And I say this as someone who actually does believe in psychic phenomena. But I also believe in cold readers and emotional ambulance chasers who violate the grieving. The two are not mutually exclusive.)
I caught a bit of Hannity last night too. He had a doctor on ( a good looking woman too - bonus!) and was asking her questions. When asked if dehydration is a painful way to die, the doc said no and that it is a common practive for end-stage care. Hannity didn’t really let her finish this thought when he said that he doubted that dehydration was painless because it seemed counterintuitive.
IOW, he doubted it because it went against his preconceived notions. Then they switched to a shot of protesters outside the hospice, including one with a sign that read “Her nose is bleeding”.
That’s when I switched to basketball.
Gee, thanks for a mental image that I truly did not need. John Edward with big boobs. shudder
Well, he already WAS a big boob, after all…
It’s a telling comment on the state of our national discourse, and the quality of media reportage, that Jon Stewart can just air clips from Fox News and other sources (e.g. Scarborough Country), not say anything, and still be funny. Granted, there are some discrete facial tics that go into conveying the funny, but really, the stuff airing today is so ludicrous that he can just let it stand on its own.
His occasional use of children reciting transcripts of “Hannity and Colmes” is pure gold.
N.B., folks: The “biggest douche in the universe” is John Edward. No “s”. John Edwards is the former North Carolina Senator, whose opinions on the Schiavo case are not public AFAIK.
:eek:
Where was this, margin?
tdn, WhyNot-is that from a comedy sketch?
I liked Stewart’s “Now, crazy tv psychic guy!”
And Jonathan Edwards was a Puritan homilist best known for such cheerful pieces as “Sinners In the Hands of an Angry God”…
Nope, I improvised it as I was writing it.
And I simply plagarized 75% of it from **tdn **and changed the rest. 
Hacks borrow, artists steal.
No one mentioned the numerous interviews with Nurse Wretched?
<hijack>
Spinsanity shut down? :eek:
Gawddammit, the fight against ignorance has lost another trooper.

I’m not margin, but I’m guessing he’s talking about al Kut.
