        It's a little odd that no Vid exists anywhere on the internet of Gretchen Carlson showing her true feelings about Ted Kennedy.

        It's like some powerful force just scooped this Vid off the internet.

        Watching Gretchen Carslon infer that Ted Kennedy was a Traitor to his Country with a straight face is priceless.

      He's actually a Democrat from Montana. So, what? Now FOX 'News' admits the Republicans have no health reform plan and are stealing Senator Bausus' plan? Because it had no Republian support whatsoever. I'm a bit confused, but that often happens when I try to reconcile what I see on FOX 'News' with objective reality.

        the plan caved on nearly every republican talking point, and they still reject it, but not him.

      I never thought I see the day that Fixed News misidentifies a Democrat as a Republican. It is mostly the other way around.

      Fool us once, shame on--shame on you.

      Oh, for crying out LOUD. Once or twice meant that it could have been a mistake. More than that? The chyron writers are obviously bored out of their skulls!

      Is this the first time they mislabeled a Democrat? I know they have a history of mislabeling Republicans...

      They did this for one reason and one reason only......to convince their lazy, dumbass audience the cons actually do have a plan and when everyone criticizes it, in there warped minds it's becuase he's republican.............maybe that's a stretch but not out of the realm of possible.
