E.D. Hill Apoloigizes for "Terrorist Fist Jab" Remarks

FNC anchor E.D. Hill apologized today for promoting a segment about Sen. Barack Obama and Michelle Obama's Tuesday night "fist bump," by using the term, "terrorist fist jab," as one of the many interpretations of the gesture.

"I apologize because unfortunately some thought I, personally, had characterized it inappropriately," she said at the beginning of the 2pmET hour. "I regret that. It was not my intention. I certainly didn't mean to associate the word terrorist in any way with Senator Obama and his wife."

1. "I apologize for doing something that may seem negative toward

Barack and Michelle, even though THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT TO DO!!!!!"

More shit from the other side.

7. That's exactly it. n/t

2. Surrrre you didn't

And if any of your viewers believe that, send them my way. I have a nice bridge to Brooklyn to sell them.

3. Ah, the classic "I'm sorry if you were offended" apology.

Sounds like E.D. has some political skills after all.

Personally, she shocks me everytime she assembles a complete sentence. Fortunately, that's not often.

5. From the desk of Rupert Murdoch:

Memo:

Be sure to associate the word "terrorist" with Barack Obama and his wife at every opportunity.

Love,

Rupe

6. They made her apologize for that but let the Osama/Obama (hope they both get it) comment slide?

They have their priorities all fucked up. Then again this is FOX we are talking about.

8. Appologize because everyone knows your a frickn' idiot, and are mocking

you for your inane assertion

10. Page two from their playbook. Pick up a bullshit smear from "somewhere" and then

report that "some" have said blah, blah, blah.

Some have said the the Faux piece of shit has, along with her cohosts, raped the children of guests who are held in the "green" room waiting to go on and spew their right-wing shit. The parents do not complain because they are paid a significant amount of money from a secret Murdoch account.

Not that I actually believe this, though many have referred to the whispers about the child porn ring.

11. um, what's the E. D. stand for??

Educationally Deprived?
Extremely Dishonest?

13. When she was an anchor here in Pittsburgh, her name was "Edye Tarbox"

I don't know when "Edye" became "E.D." but it fits for me... every time I look at her I have a case of "Erectile Disfunction"

[SoonerPride]

14. Tarbox?

:rofl:

That would give me ED too!

:rofl:

12. The apology will not get the circulation the original statement got. Look for

more crap from Fox News.

15. When's Matthews going to apologize for the shit he slung? Just not important, I guess. nt

[Wickerman]

16. What I see significant is that someone at FAUX had to apologize

They've said much in the past that equals this, but the apologies have rarely ever come. It signals a tide turning that FAUX forces an apology, no matter how weak.

17. Faux used to be the only news channel that called bin Laden Usama. Now they call him Osama.

I wonder why! :eyes:
