WoW-FOX

Geez, why are all the liberals that go on FOX so quiescent , docile, and subservient?

They were discussing the Hastert scandal and Britt Hume is focusing on the extortionary aspect of the case and why the government focused on Denny The Molester in the first place rather than the fact he was paying off a man he diddled when the man was a kid and his student. The token liberal on the panel wanted to focus on the underlying crime but Brit Hume kept braying about the fact Hastert was being investigated in the first place.

If I was on the panel I would have said I will be happy to discuss why Hastert is being investigated after we discuss the fact Hastert was diddling his students who were in his charge and he was responsible for.

He was operating as loco parentis and he betrayed that sacred trust.

It would have been my last time on FOX but worth it.

them off, or 3) ignore them. Fox has it down. The conservatives go on and on and on and on and on, and the Liberal gets a couple of sentences.

You know who else does this and it drives me nuts, is MSNBC. Seems they always let their rivals, the Conservative ...see above...and then there is little time for the Liberal to respond to the drivel of word salad that has just been spewed.

Also, most conservatives are just spouting regurgitation from the Lizard Brain, and Liberals actually have to think while they talk.

It's like a paycheck with a very small box for signing your name... and if your signature goes outside that box, you can't cash it. Makes for some timid and careful name-signing.
