Faux & Friends: "Kerry had Substance and Style, but Too Slick"

[ksoze]

Every time I think Fox is coming around, they fall back. Just summerized their post debate report with only anti-Kerry call-ins and live street interviews and then ended the segment with, "Kerry has the style and substance but...I dunno maybe too slick for our viewers".

1. well I have to agree with his last line

substance is a little much for fox viewers.......

[trumad]

2. Yeah...and Faux and friends have shit for brains.

[skylarmae]

3. shouldn't faux news be a campaign expense for georgie porgie's

bookkeepers? I think so!!!

[kentuck]

4. "Slick" is their synonym for "intelligent"....

We would prefer a president that is not too smart. We would prefer Woody Woodpecker.

[unfrigginreal]

8. LOL - Woody Woodpecker

I think he needs to start showing up at Bush rallies.

5. America has become proud of being stupid

I've been trying to listen to Republicans to understand why they support the shrub, but everytime I listen I find myself concluding that they're just stupid. After the debate I caught one complaining on C-span that Kerry had a plan. Having a plan, being able to think, articulate... these are bad things. People support bush because of things like, "he's strong." Well how about giving a reason why you think that, or are Republicans just unburdened by the thought processe?

6. Ooooooh!

"slick", I think I need to write them and say, "thank you for energizing our base!"

7. omg someone should definately do that

9. The Bizzaro World Channel

As I listened to these Faux's this am, it made no sense. They were lauding Kerry's intelleigence, comand of the facts, confidence and ability to answer any question easily - yet he is too slick.

At one point one of them said that he is too robotic and "kept using names from previous attendees in his replys". They cannot understand that Kerry can remember what someone said a few questins ago and can join that into his answers.

10. He is so New England.

That does not always make it all over the country.

[kerryin2004]

11. So we have a choice between slick and unstable?

I will take the slick man any day over the irrational and unstable chimp!


Jesus, this man acted like he was going to attack Charlie Gibson, and he has the finger on the button! Bush is always sending messages to all his fundies, and I am a bit worried that he may try to bring the end of days on his own!

[Kinkistyle]

12. If as in "Slick Willy", hell I'll TAKE it!

Bill Clinton was renouned as being "Slick" and look how he ended up :D

[mikehiggins]

13. That sounds like a dig at their own viewers

Probably deserved but a little odd regardless.

Are they saying they have the contempt for their viewers that someone who watches FAUX so richly deserves?

So not only are they scum, they are hypocrites as well.

I love the FAUX talking heads: they don't even pretend to be newsmen.

[Cheswick2.0]

14. not enough of a freaking moron for fox viewers....another good reason

to vote for Kerry.

[CANDO]

15. This means he is sooooo smart that he can't be trusted.

That's where all the slick willie attacks against Clinton were aimed. If a person is really this intelligent, then he can use it to outsmart your average republican. These people wallow in unsophistication.

[beyurslf]

16. By too slick did they mean too intelligent?

[madrchsod]

17. jeez-" to slick for our viewers"

only on fox-that insult just went over the heads of 99% of their audience!!!!

[underpants]

18. They are doing the "make fun of the smart kid in class" bit

That is what the goal of this is. Plus they have nothing else to say.

[Mountainman]

19. Years and years of letting talk show hosts do your thinking for you does

this.

Wingnuts' brains have atrophied after listening to years of Rush and Hanity et.al. They can't come up with an original thought anymore. It's like someone using a crutch or wearing a cast when they don't have to. Their muscles shrink and become flabby and weak. Wing nuts brains have become flabby and weak. Someone else who is intelligent is "slick" or "elitist." Laura Ingrahm uses this idea all the time calling Kerry and Dems elitists. That helps the dummies identify with Bush their dummy leader and it isn't insulting to them, it helps rally them.

Is it any wonder why they vote against their own economic and social interests?

[donkeyotay]

20. They used "slick" for a reason other than that saying "too smart"

for our viewers is too truthful.

Why waste all the millions spent character-assassinating President Clinton when you can recall all that conditioning by simply re-using
the word?

Maybe we should start calling them Pavlovian Republicans...
