      WTF does Italy's austerity measures have anything to do with Obama? I fail to see a point here.

        The point is, Faux News and their wingnut followers continue to display their inability to distinguish fantasy from reality.

        To wit:

        - they believe a TV show [24] is official US counter-terrorism policy
        - they think a cartoon character [SpongeBob SquarePants] is gay
        - they think a life-sized puppet in a daytime program for pre-schoolers [Tinky-winky from Teletubbies] has similar sexual proclivities, and
        - they think the WH takes it's "cues" from a fictional HBO character

      Anyone who begins a news segment like that is just a moron,

      or a Fox News host. Neil is rather hapless. He's pretty much a 2nd-rate dirtbag, and 4th-tier journalist.

        I would've said a 2nd-rate dirtbag and a 4-tier propagandist.

        You say that like those two are mutually exclusive . . .

      I'll give the right-wing noise machine credit: they are very focused (on TV, radio, online media) in their shared revulsion of all things Obama.

      In their eyes, he couldn't rescue a lost puppy from a gutter without being accused of naming it after Karl Marx...a point which brings us to the inevitable downside of the right-wing noise machine: it's desperate and pathetic.

      . . . actually the banks/wall street have been Tony Soprano, the government in the past has been his ineffectual parish priest, and we all have been his wife, living off of the immoral profits of a criminal organization, plug in big oil, military industrial, etc


      I could be wrong

      Insulting and embarrassing to journalism, decency, our President and Italians.

      CUES???....FROM TONY SOPRANO??(a fictitious character,by the way)What on earth could this RightWing stooge be talking about? And since we're in to mentioning fictitious characters for GM to see if they can "make a move" or not,why doesn't he suggest that GM ask the Muppets? Or maybe Luke Skywalker? Next,Cavuto will come out talking baby talk and Rethuglicans will pretend to understand what he's saying.
