What kind of bizarro world is this...
When Keith Olbermann is the "enemy" and FAUX News and O'Reilly are the "good guys"?

On Fox and Friends today, Clinton surrogate and Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell had some high praise for Fox News Channel.

6. According to some, yes
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5454530

Remember the "pots-and-pans" protest that organizers from that other site were putting together for this morning? They didn't get the media coverage they thought they wanted, so they started calling around to various media outlets. One of them suggested calling Fox News, and apparently O'Reilly contacted them back. So now, on their site, they've been praising Fox News and O'Reilly. Well, technically they've been supporting FAUX for awhile now, but this is the first time I've seen them stoop so low as to praise O'Reilly.

18. Yup... O'Reilly's apparently better than Olbermann...

12. They're both scum
Wilson may have been right about Chimpy, but he's still a CIA thug.

10. That's kind of a stupid quote, if you think about it
Through the looking glass, left is right but black is still black and white is still white.

23. Costner's character to David Ferrie in JFK is appropriate
"David, I find your story, simply not believable."

It is a world where Democrats tear apart Obama over stupid bullshit and Chris Wallace defends him.

13. The time we all knew would come to pass
The time when the "Reagan Democrats" had to chose whether they are Democrats or "Republican Light".

If it doesn't cost the party an election it will make us stronger.

15. I'm surprised Hillary supporters haven't started complaining about the "liberal media."
You just know it's bound to happen sooner or later.

16. I keep thinking I'm going to wake up
suddenly, in my bedroom, lying in bed, with Auntie Em and all the farmhands standing around...

I haven't been posting here long, but have lurked for a long time, and I NEVER thought I would see this happen.

20. Well, Pat's been right about a lot of things this decade.
Usually where it concerns Bush/PNAC foreign policy. That and the fact that the Jews in Palm Beach really didn't vote for him in 2000.

Of course he's still dead wrong about most other things. He is still Pat Buchanan, after all.
