BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

For those who missed it -- The White House had a luncheon today for the media covering tonight's State of Union address.

There were place cards at each table setting. The place cards read: NY Times News, CBS News, NBC News, CNN News, etc.

But the place card for Fox read "FOX".

I understand that the FOX folks are terribly insulted.

They stay insulted. Walk around 24x7 looking for something to get insulted about. Outraged about this. Outraged about that. Truth be told, Fox is insulting. I NEVER watch Fox.

offended by the abolitionist movement in the early 1800's.

Faux is racist sexist jingoistic hysterical bullshit.

Anyone who thinks it's 'news' still believes the WWE is 'sports.'

Should have just put a bushy tail there to make sure they got the message.

On Edit...I did see a Fox segment here and must say it was handled well. But also...message received.
