When ODS meets CDS at Fox News

Obama Derangement Syndrome + Clinton Derangement Syndrome, of course. And yesterday, on Fox News, the two powerful forces collided as FNC pundits and anchors met on the air to pretty much bitch and moan about how former President Clinton was able to secure the release of two falsely accused American journalists who were facing time in a North Korean work prison.
Apparently unable at this point to even concede when good news emerges under a Democratic president, Fox News and its right-wing crowd would rather belittle Clinton and Obama than celebrate the release of American hostages.
Quite a pathetic sight. NewsHounds has a good overview of Fox News' North Korea coverage. And below former Secretary of State (and John McCain supporter) Lawrence Eagleburger derides the channel's negative spin.
When has any viewer ever heard a positive comment about Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton on fox?
I.e., there was a great success by a Democrat--how can we make it look bad for the President?
Unfortunately, Eagleburger wimped out by saying it sort of did. On the contrary, Clinton is not a free agent, able to do State Department business without the knowledge and approval of Obama. In other words, Obama was not upstaged, and gets to share in some of the glory.
