    "Fox News and NewsCorp have poisoned the political atmosphere to the extent that any ability to commence and sustain a public dialogue about nearly any contemporary issue - save for the nonsensical, the foolhardy and the profane - is being precluded."

    I'll have to go buy me one and do the same thing....

    Since nut-wingers don't pay much attention to stuff like actual news, what year it is and -- oh, I dunno -- plain facts, this smacks of routine groundwork for the next takedown by the gang at Slitherin House.

    What's in Barney's political future that would conjure a big hissy fit? Whatever it is, the lizard brain probably wants to be sure he's thoroughly pre-hissified.

    wasn't it news in 2007? (none / 0) (#2)

    Didn't Keith Olberman and the NY Times report on this two years ago, after all?
