Rather like Baghdad Bob, only the tanks on the background had obama logos.
Read somewhere: “The good news is that Karl Rove will soon find out where Jimmy Hoffa is buried”.

Does anyone know if Fox has ever officially admitted that they are not, in fact, fair and balanced? Or do they still keep up the front?
In one of the several Jon Stewart vs Fox face-offs I think someone (O’Reilly?) did, at some point, sort of indirectly own up to it - something about the media have a massive liberal bias, so they were just the counterweight to that. It’d be great if someone could track that quote/session down to confirm it; my Google-fu is failing me.
He reminded me of a guy who just blew all of his (powerful and dangerous) boss’s money at the racetrack. Much better to stay and argue with the track officials than to walk out into to parking lot and face the bag of oranges awaiting him there.
It’s part of their schtick. They have to convince people that they are showing the ONLY truth, so people don’t even dare to look at another network.
I mean, you will rarely hear a baptist minister say something like “You know folks, we might be right, but then again, you might want to check out the Buddhists or the Bahai down the road - they have some really good ideas and you might think of converting”
Let that be a lesson to Republicans, when someone asks you about your feelings on rape, you say ‘no comment’.
I’m against it!
No chance Darth Cheney shoots *him *in the face. No chance.
I was watching Fox News most of the night for comedy value. There were a few times where I really thought the anchors were going to cry - they were starting to get choked up, losing their voice, etc.
I also think I heard them refer to the Romney campaign as “us” a few times.
I think they spent about half the coverage after the election was called on tax cuts. “Oh, sure, Obama may have won a second term, but he’s not even ahead in the popular vote… clearly his policies are unpopular… surely he can’t think that being re-elected means he can raise taxes… as you know if we raised taxes it would cripple our economy… and even if we taxed the rich, that wouldn’t even start to put a hole in the deficit” and blah blah. They went on like this for quite a while. If it was any legitimate news source, it would’ve seemed utterly bizarre.
Serious question. Now that the election is over, the results in and the undeniable fact that Fox commentators (Rove, Morris et al) lied to its viewers over the past month or so regarding the state of the election result in any soul searching among conservatives that perhaps this is not an isolated incident?
An excellent summary of what is so very wrong with Republicans and the Right-Wing Media right now. Thanks for sharing!
For all the obvious amusement, I think my most curious moment was Megyn Kelly needing help off the stage and then wobbling down the hallway like a newborn fawn. Was that her first time wearing heels?
Serious answer:
No. No soul searching will be done. Scapegoats will be found, but to ask conservatives to actually think deeply about this is akin to wondering if a congregation in a born-again church would start wondering if the bible were factually accurate.
For them, it’s all about faith. And faith trumps fact every single time. Faith enables you to go about your business without soul searching and without changing anything.
Change is scary. Thinking is hard. Faith however is easy and comfortable.
The conservative rank and file, at this point, can’t really tell whether they’re being spoken for or pandered to. They may indeed have stopped caring. Their willingness to question received wisdom - which was always tenuous and always tentative - has been fatally undermined by big money-bought media spin.
Thoughtful conservatism at this point may be the province of out-of-touch intellectuals who have more in common with liberal “elites.” Real America stands behind the big lie, oft repeated.
He kept waiting for the Diebold worm to kick in and alter the vote count.
Next time they better hire an American hacker!
Why would there be any soul searching amongst true believers? And with a propaganda operation like Fox News, the occasional big loss is actually good for cohesion.
Hah. Like the Millerites.
