Fox Defends Michael Brown Interview ... "Expert on Botched Responses"
You just can't make this stuff up. Well, you could, but this is even funnier than most of the stuff I make up ...

Fox News is defending itself from yet another wave of White House criticism, this time saying the decision to let former FEMA chief Michael Brown speak unchallenged about the Obama administration's response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was justified because Brown is "an expert on botched responses."

3. It's strange...
It's strange that a majority of neo-CONS think Bush did a good job with Katrina.

Now they're saying this is Obama's Katrina with the implaction that the federal government did a bad job in handling the disaster. They must think all Americans have short-term memories like their tea bagging brethren...

14. their problem isn't that they're holding onto something wrong too deeply,
it's that most of them (as opposed to the conservative "intelligentsia," I mean) flip so easily--like when Beck tells them now that Bush is a progressive liberal and thus left a legacy of shame and corporate bailouts (like any good liberal would...)

they're perfect little inhabitants of Baudrillard's simulacrum world, dropping any idea or ideology as soon as someone can whip up their dishonest anger. however, they are consistent in that they're empathetically-stunted bastards, so they're not Fredric Jameson's totally-vacant, volatile, anything-goes postmodern people

and the conservative leadership HAS been shown empirically wrong, by any criteria or definition of evidence: con intellectuals are consistent in their demand for a 50s status quo (1950s or 1850s), galloping paranoia (hence the guns, roided-up aggression, and the constant picking of fights abroad), and capitalism (the "unknown ideal" because, they claim, it's never been fully realized, and this full realization would give everyone wealth and 12-child families forever). since it's goals (not party) that are of primary importance use any political party and partisanship and bipartisanship alike to achieve these goals

4. Once Again The "Some Say" Network Strikes...
Either the corporate media is outright lazy or they have zero concern about integrity anymore (or both) that has allowed the latest right wing meme "Obama didn't do anything/enough" about this disaster like he was supposed to be Ironman and single-handedly stop the oil gusher. Faux has been ground zero, as always, in the sliming and astroturfing...desperately hoping this disaster becomes "Obama's Katrina".

Brown is the ultimate boooosh regime assclown who has the blood of the dead of NOLA on his hands and no matter how he tries to dance and bullshit, it remains there...ably abeted by Faux (blame Nagin). It also deflect criticism from the real killers in this tragedy...the company responsible for the blow out...Halliburton.

10. The Bush Lybary has plenty of shelf space
They can sandwich it between Palin's book and Laura's book. Or put it next to Rove's book.

11. I get the sense that people who watch FOX aren't really listening.
They just pick up on the overall anti-Democratic tone and not on what's actually said or who's saying it.

13. There is a guy at my gym who watches the Glenn Beck show w 200% attention
He is completely transfixed with a near rapturous look on his face.

I have caught him tuning all the locker room TVs (!?!) to Fox on several occasion.

It is so bizarre!
