Another Dishonest Wingnut Sent Packing

When they say he's going to take on a diminished role, does that mean he'll be shambling around the building in his pajamas at four in the afternoon?

Brit Hume, a top anchor and executive with Fox News since the channel was launched 12 years ago, plans to step down at year's end. But he won't disappear entirely.

Sources familiar with the situation say that Hume, 65, will give up his job as Washington managing editor and anchor of "Special Report." They say he is near a deal to continue with Fox in a senior statesman role, not unlike that of Tom Brokaw at NBC, for roughly 100 days a year.

In his new role, Hume would be a senior political analyst, substitute for Chris Wallace as host of "Fox News Sunday" and anchor special events.

As Fox News hemorrhages viewers and gets caught doing ridiculous, unprofessional things while failing to serve the public's interest, expect to see more infighting and backbiting. Hume is merely a scapegoat for the failures of others. While O'Reilly, Hannity and Cavuto may seem untouchable, they have a pretty good chance of joining Hume, Gibson, Malkin, Burns, and Hill on the way out the door.

Good riddance--his diminished role signifies that the American public is sick and tired of being lied to--but that Fox News isn't going to change. Somewhere, a country is running out of wingnuts to put on TV.

I think I woke up on the other side of the looking glass this morning

Holy hell, we are rogered roundly.

McCain can "get away with" being a confused old man because he's been around forever and our press corps is a bunch of sycophantic suck-asses. That, in a nutshell, is what Chuck Todd explained to Tim Russert this morning.




And over on Fox, it got even better. Brit Freakin' Hume dismissed his confusion as a "senior moment" but still the trip was a "net plus."



Good grief, do I have to state the obvious?

On what fucking planet is it okay for our press corps to carry on and swoon like schoolgirls and dismiss legitimate concerns of fitness and acumen for the job he is asking us to hire him for?

And by the way, I don't want anyone prone to senior moments that severe anywhere near the football, m'kay? Senior moments aren't a quality to dismiss - they are a quality to disqualify.

Brit Hume Just Called Me Out!

He specified me and all my friends! He cast aspersions on the "bloggers and other leftist elements of the party." That's us! FAUX is afeared of you and me!

I think we got their attention when FAUX got slapped down in the debate brouhaha in Nevada. Of course, that joke about Obama/Osama made by Ailes after Edwards pulled out wasn't a thumb in the eye or nuthin' and didn't indicate how a Democratic slate would be presented to the public. No not at all. *Fair and Balanced* and all that, you know.

But we are shrill and unreasonable for holding his Republican-propaganda-tool feet to the fire.

Well boo mother-fuckin' hoo. Cry me a river and play me a requiem. I've been right about everything for the last six years, while those mother fuckers have been wrong. Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong. They haven't just been wrong though. They have also been bullying and overbearing, threatening those who dared oppose them.

So don't look at me to be all fucking civil and meek and mild about calling their useless asses on the carpet and pantsing 'em in public.


Of course, the fact that these asshats are talking about us is proof positive that we are here to stay, we are a force to be reckoned with, and they are going to have to learn to deal with the new era of accountability or get the fuck out of the way. We are smart, savvy and diverse, and we are changing the way politics is done.

Deal.

We're fucking political insurgents, and they can't beat us.

There are enough of us ants to pick the elephant carcass clean.

So just let me say this

Yo, Hume - Fuck you very much. I realize that it galls you that a bunch of low-lifes like us - and I'm waiving at a whole bunch of liberal bloggers like me (How the hell are ya Hill?) are treading on your sacred ground, you partisan shill, but you are just going to have to employ a coping mechanism or two. (Try a Xanax, a glass of good scotch and a sporty romp between the sheets, and next Sunday we would see a different affect on that dour mug.)

Anyway, not to gloat or anything, but my new years resolution was to stop pulling my punches with reich-wing fucktards, so let me bust out a hearty...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
