I just saw Bill Kristol put a friendly restraining hand on Juan Williams, out of frame.

Juan was talking about the polling that found that we dont believe the gov wont touch entitlements. And Juan said that this could account for the death panels, and all the other garbage bandied about last summer. He was then to recieve the restraining hand on shoulder. Camera caught it, before it went elsewhere. Only a nanosecond. But Juan is now an actor, in the family of carnival barkers. Unlike Keith, who knew his service had ended, and went to other things, on top. Juan signed with the devil, and the devil owns his soul. Bill Kristol is instructed to keep him in bounds. Whether implicitly, or some other entitlement, he is within his space, to provide a restraining hand on arm. To tell the token Liberal to cool it, and go down in the end of the first round.

As I stated in my journal some time ago, I predicted that Juan would quit Fox before the year was out. I still believe it. And if he is working with a leash, shame on the camera for pulling away from Juan's shame.

Or, Bill Kristol thinks of Juan as a son. Nah.

That was some tight choreographing. Only screwed up by nanoseconds.

Poor Juan.

1. 'Poor Juan'?!?

Poor American public for having such tripe that passes for 'news' on the airwaves <on edit: or cable even>! I find it hard to work up sympathy for the sellout Juan Williams.

2. My thoughts exactly.

Besides, I'm boycotting all cable news channels now.

I still like Amy Goodman, though.

3. why is Kristol correcting him manually?

did the electronic leash malfunction?

4. As soon as he is done being the PBS victim, He will be the token liberal EX-Fox book.

5. I saw this on our non cable Fox stn this AM

I was sleepy and missed the tap on the shoulder, but after he said that I commented to spouse " He is a little our of line for the fox mantra hmmm?"
So Kristol thought that too!
LOL
I turned on Fox because the big 3 were sooooo bad this morning but it was very cold out and didnt want to get out of bed yet still in my winter's sleep........

6. The kicker is that there is a system in place, for keeping us in our place, on Fox.
