      It came from the Heritage Foundation. Not National Review. This guy can't get one damn thing right! I am sure the part about him having friends is also BS.

      Don't sweat it, Douchey... critical thinking isn't happening in your audience. Your job is safe.

      This is ridiculous. I'm a twenty-something male, way out of Miley's fan base. But I saw the video of this, and calling it a "pole dance" is stretching the truth to Cirque De Soleil levels.

      During the performance, Miley stands on a very small platform that is moved across the stage as she sings. It has a pole attached to it. The pole is clearly there just for her to hold on to and keep her balance. This little "drop it like it's hot" move that they play above is the ONLY two seconds that could even conceivably be construed as a "pole dance". The rest is just her standing and balancing and singing.

      But I guess that never stopped FNC from airing some salacious implications (always with that stupid question mark at the end) to stir viewers' interest (pun intended).

        Wait-a-minute: a twenty-something male with the capacity to use the word salacious? There is hope for the next generation... ;)

      Doocy was called out by Keith Olbermann yesterday. KO joked that Doocy's friend was a website.

      The disengenuous of Doocy and his like is a borderline psychosis. They feel the need to portray the appearance of "the avergae guy" who receives questions from friends and neighbors that he's just passing along to "you good Real Americans who watch Fox"

      The real answer, of course, is that if they told the truth and revealed their sources, they'd be exposed as right wing mouth pieces.

      The real diabolical part is the use of Miley Cyrus as the next topic "from another friend". That was a Fox story on Tuesday (since that show was aired by Fox on Monday night).

      So here we are today, two full news cycles later and he brings it up as if it's topical and anyone cares. But it's a good visual that distracts Fox's audience from the fact that Doocy read the Heritage talking points to a public audience and claimed they were from "a friend"

      He truly is a Machiavellian deviant.

      And if someone on CNN or MSNBC was reading talking points from Moveon.org, and claim they came from a "friend", the screeching from Faux would be deafening for days and days and days. In fact, the twits on faux and at freeperville would state this is proof that the librul media is "friends" and "pals around" with Moveon.org.
