Fox News congratulates Bush for bin Laden

[meegbear]

George W. Bush and Dick Cheney have both congratulated President Obama on hearing the news of Osama Bin Laden's death. But Fox News seems unwilling to let the glory linger on the president for even a moment. The cable network's website homepage chose to feature former president Bush predominantly, with the only mentions of Obama in small type under a large picture and headline devoted to his predecessor.

1. Apparently, Fox still thinks Bush is president

That is what the web page snapshot tells me.

3. unless you're talking about the economic disasters

that he directly put into place ... more cowbell ... "tax cuts, so help me God" ... Bush 1/6/2000

2. Ike's Bay of Pigs ...

Hey, they still tried to pin the "intelligence failure" of 9/11 on Clinton, so this is no surprise ...

Ike f*cked up with the Bay of Pigs ...

Why is it that it's Bush's "success" that he's been out of office for over 2 years but "he" got ObL ...

but the economic disaster, which STARTED under George W. Bush ... is Obama's fault???

5. "Commend" is a good wood to use

If you clear your throat in the middle of saying it, stupid people will understand it as "condemned" -- and nod in agreement.

6. Just to be fair - they actually say

"Former president commends his successor and the military on 'this momentous achievement'."

7. They have less credibility than an Al Qaeda website and twice the hate.
