      Why does FOX even pretend to be a real new organization?

      What is it about FOX and Airhead female anchors? Do Republican men find such women less threatening, or is it purely the cheesecake factor?

      Kind of really get's to the Fair and Balanced issue, doesn't it?

      Too bad, Perino. With her looks, personality, and intelligence, she could have had a long career in real news, but is now throwing it all away by going with Fox.

        Looks? Sure. Personality? I'll go along with that.

        But intelligence? Not even close.

        This is the woman who didn't know what the Cuban Missile Crisis was.

          Give her a break; she wasn't even born then. We can't be expected to know about things that happened before we were born.

            Exactly...that's why we have Glenn Beck to explain those things.

      And now for something completely, totally different:

      a young, white, blond Republican woman on Fox News.

        I didn't know that Julie Banderas, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Harris Faulkner, Uma Pemeraju, and SE Cupp were blond. Thanks for enlightening me.

        Dana Perino is right. Anyone with a brain obviously hopes John Boehner is speaker in 9 months (he will be) -- or better yet Michele Bachmann.

      Orange Julius as Speaker. Yikes! Anyhow, slightly off topic but I wanted to know if anyone saw Chris Matthews yesterday? I generally don't care for "Mr. Tingle," but he really had a great interview, or should I say bash-session, with the head of Americans for Prosperity. Check it out online. It is definitely worth a look-see. He actually called this clown out and asked him WHAT his ideas were for extending coverage to 30 million people who don't currently have health insurance.

        I don't watch Matthews, but I had heard about the interview and wanted to watch it. He RIPPED that guy. Showed him for the worthless hypocrite he is.

          How is the search for the quotes progressing? Any luck so far? IT certainly is taking you a while.

        I saw it, too. The man was a typical Talking Points Parrot, and Matthews nailed him.

        My favorite was when Chris asked him what the homeless vet should do, and he said "Not support this bill".

        Priceless.

          Yeah, he shouldn't support the bill and continue getting the same seemingly poor coverage he is receiving just so those clowns who are yelling at him can continue down their merry path. "We don't give out hand-outs in this part of town," says the guy probably a few years from getting Medicare.

          I wish Brian Williams would show that footage on the nightly news.

      These clowns still function under the false assumption that by opposing affordable health care, they will somehow reap big benefits at the polls! GOP'ers have also been very vocal about their dislike of unemployment benefits during a RECESSION! While the the spending on our two wars seems to be O.K. for them. If they were true fiscal conservatives they would be seriously trying to find ways to end these conflicts. The GOP with it's single-minded hatred of everything Obama and it's addiction to it's own propaganda they are playing a fool's game. They MIGHT make some gains this fall. But I doubt it!

      I shutter to think of Beener as Speaker, though I realize it is a possibility. Republitoads blather on about how "hateful" Pelosi is, but Beener is one of the most condescending pricks I've ever seen.

      if the gop actually thought the democrats would lose their majorities as a result of this vote, they would be begging the dems to vote for this bill. They didn't care about the country of course... They proved it by nearly all voting against the stimulus.
