Fox News Fail.

How about you pitch a few less softballs failtown?



I've seen Dan Barker do a lot worse, but hitting on all cylinders and being given time to respond. You fail Fox News.

Peter Schiff sounds like such a douche.

There's certain truths about understanding and sometimes things are just out of your intellectual reach and perhaps economics is one of them. However, there's something about hindsight which makes even the most novice person able to judge who was right and who was wrong. You don't need to understand economics to understand who the idiots are circa 2006 from 2008.

Garofalo the psychic.

One Good Move has a great little blast from the past.

Oddly enough, this little internet thing has fun little records from that point in history.

spleenville (no link due to fuck them):

Ooh, Janeane Garofalo got her ass kicked on Fox and Friends on the Fox News Network. Brian Kilmeade was somewhat -- ah -- less than deferential to the august pronouncements of Ms. Garofalo. It almost makes me wish I had cable teevee so I could have watched this.

Here's a section of transcript:

-- Kilmeade: "They're still missing a hundred tons of anthrax and VX gas, where is it?"
Garofalo: "As far, okay. That's what you say. There is no proof or evidence that we're missing a hundred thousand tons of VX gas."

Garofalo: "And I would say, and everybody knows that Roger Ailes, that everybody knows that Roger Ailes is in touch with the White House all the time."
Kilmeade: "And what has Geraldo Rivera been in the past, and what has Alan Colmes been in the past? And do you ever watch any of these shows?”
Garofalo: "Yes I do."
Kilmeade: "And who is actually an independent. Is it Bill O'Reilly?"
Garofalo: "I would say that Fox News is one of the most conservative networks, and that's-"

Now, if we assume that we're all roughly living in a crap shoot and anybody could be right at any given time, I must conclude that Ms. Garofalo is psychic. She predicted no weapons of mass destruction, Fox News as a right wing mouthpiece as well as a number of other very pointed bits of info.

And the president honestly thinks that history will view him kindly. The entire right wing looks like evil warmongering asshats in retrospect.

They pretty well nailed it.
