      Why can't we get back the TRULY IMPORTANT things, ehh Newtie?

      Like the White House travel office, Vince Foster's suicide, and, OF COURSE!, bjs.

      Oh I dunno. Seems like Fox is more interested in trivial pursuits. Just watch an episode of Glenn Beck.

      The media, especially when it comes to the F(R)NC, doesn't need the White House's help in focusing on trivia. Just look at O'Reilly's segment with a "body language expert."

      Wow Newt! Great way to reverse reality. Considering the fact that FNC is distracting everyone by attacking the WH with smears, I'm not sure how the WH could ignore that. It's hard to get your message out as a WH when it is being drowned out with trivial arguments about the political ideology of a press adviser.

      I also love how Newt states that the economy and Afghanistan are going bad for Obama. It's kinda hard to inherit two disasters that are 7yrs in the making and then turn them around all in less than a year. I think Newt should give Obama a little more credit.

      If the admin is trying to focus on trvial nonsense instead of the real issues, why not just take up FOX's exact rhetoric. It creates distration after distraction - it is in essence, a news channel of distortion and distraction.

      fourth consecutive segment??? good god... and they have the audacity to claim that the obama WH are cry babies and thin skinned (i dont know if foxnews/oreilly actually said the latter)? this is clearly the new obsession at that network... good, thats exactly the reaction that was expected.

      oh, and the ratings havent changed ever since this feud started... oreilly claimed they did in the segment with politico.
