White House to Fox: Suck It
Posted by Daryl in Adult, Blogroll, Deep Thoughts on October 20th, 2009
Oh, I love this. Those of us who aren’t myopic have known for a long time that Fox “News” isn’t really news at all.
Of course, when Dubya was the President they were on his side. Now that a Democrat is back in power, the Fox attack machine has really gone to town. They say it’s a risky strategy for the White House to pursue, but I do think that it is something that has needed saying for a long time now.
And, hey, if we can make Glenn Beck cry about something that’s actually real, then we’re all better off.
So suck it, Fox.
Michelle Obama: Proud.
I can’t believe how much of a dustup has ensued from the following – seemingly inocuous – quotation:
“For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.” (CNN)
Regardless of your political affiliation, I don’t see how you could take this to mean that Mrs. Obama was ever anything but a proud American.
Did anyone on the right stop to consider what might actually be going through her mind? And what it means?
