11 hours and 28 minutes ago

From the June 25 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:

1. Because the two are just so strikingly similar...
It's surprising that people so stupid can survive in this world.

3. I sometimes ask, when I encounter this level of ignorance, if it hurts to be that blindingly stupid

5. It's BP's responsibility to plug the leak
They made the mess.

And the Ixtoc spill in 1979-80 took 9 months to cap, and that was a well at 100 feet deep. This one is 5000 feet.

I really lose patience--and this goes for libs and conservatives--who demand simple bumper sticker slogan solutions to complex problems.

7. "It took Obama only hours" is the new "if we could put a man on
the moon, why cant we . . " do something completely irrelevant to putting men on moons. Good., that was so 1970.

15. When they asked Gingrich if there's any relation between the two,
he said, "No," while kind of chuckling incredulously. Keith showed the clip tonight.
