In a rare moment I tuned into FOX News last night after the vote
Keep in mind I never tune into them either, I half expected to see them interview a Dem but no way. They had Geraldo talking with Steele on the phone, to the extent that there were awkward moments of silence because they ran out of things to say while bashing the passing of the bill.

They acted like someone just punched them in the gut, they had zero analysis, opposing guests or insight, they were somber and sad. That organization is nothing even remotely like news, they are a fucking joke.

1. Ahhh... I remember when Geraldo
was a liberal with a conscience. I wonder what his old buddy John Lennon would think of him now.

3. Waaaay back when....
he was Kurt Vonnegut's son-in-law.

Ancient history, that.

2. Even more amazing given that they *knew* it would pass.
You think they would have had some talking points lined up and some senators saying how they would defeat it in the house. Why not Holy Joe?

4. Well, I'm glad that you got to tune in while they were suffering from a "gut punch" otherwise
you would probably have been the one who felt "gut-punched".

The Reich-wing Propaganda Network.

6. I can imagine. I've seen video of Fox election night coverage and
it was like they were at a funeral after Obama won.

7. I was watching the new Wanda Sykes show...
on the FOX network, of all places. Good stuff. Actually seemed a bit more controversial than Mahr - even without the f-bombs - but similar in format.

8. The difference is that she wasn't ragging on the President,
every chance she could.

For me, big difference! Made her show quite watchable.

9. I tuned in this AM (hubby was watching)
they had a doll and a stuffed moose and were making fun of the repug using a baby as a prop. For like 5 minutes.
