As usual, ClusterFoxers continue to say whatever they want, then quote and requote themselves and each other until they create their very own news cycle. Result: A new meme.
I'm guessing they've all had rhinoplasties.
Not sure why the guy on the right looks so surprised. Lying is a regular feature of Faux News.
Rep. Matheson issued a statement to Fox, stating, “The Weekly Standard’s piece is rubbish.” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said today that the right-wing allegation is “very silly.” Still, in a sign of its eminent “fairness,” Fox News is willing to “balance” the truth with a heavy dose of gossip.
Republican Sen. Robert Bennett also disputed the right-wing allegation:
“Sen. Bennett has heard of all kinds of pressure being applied and offers being made to Democrats for votes on health care, but Scott Matheson’s nomination is not one of those because it has been in the works for a long time,” spokeswoman Tara DiJulio said.
The GOP is feeling threatened, because health care reform, such as it is, is about to become a reality. They're reverting to default mode: Smears, fears, and acting like rears.
14-year-old wunderkind Jonathan Krohn wowed the GOP with his speech at the 2009 Conservative Political Action Conference, but now he's pushing for his own talk show. Fox News
At 8:35, Poindexter, who suddenly popped into my mind for some reason...
Here's some advice, Brownie: Never open your mouth publicly again. Ever. You were already a laughingstock, and now you are an even bigger one, if that was even possible:
BROWN: Here’s what I really think is going on. I think they want to raise this level because that gives them more attention, it gives them more, you know, more legitimacy, and allows them to get out there and say ‘oh look at us, we’re in control we've got this thing taken care of.’ It legitimizes what they’re doing. We shouldn’t be scaring the public. [...]
Neil, my theory always was after Katrina that the Bush administration and now the Obama administration will do it too. They will come out and they will do everything including the kitchen sinkbecause they don’t want to get caught with their pants down. But what that does is, that’s the same as crying the sky is falling, chicken little. And next time people will be less inclined to believe it.
Host Neil Cavuto tried to rehabilitate Brownie's image by telling him that he was a "sacrificial lamb" for the Bush administration's Katrina failures. [...]
Despite Brown's attacks, the Obama administration has been praised by experts for its response to the flu outbreak. Officials have made rapid moves to dispel "unjustified fears about the flu virus," while "stressing the need for precautions, such as washing hands, covering sneezes and seeking medical attention for flu-like symptoms."
Brownie has officially crossed the nincompoop line. And Cavuto helped him right over.
In a Politico op-ed published today, RNC Chairman Mike Duncan tried to squeeze the maximum propaganda benefit from Tuesday’s reelection of Saxby Chambliss (R-GA). He claimed that the (very predictable) Republican victory “proved” that the 2008 election had not given progressives a mandate, and that the country remained fundamentally conservative:
[...] Georgian’s [sic] clearly sent a message that any rhetoric about a liberal mandate is nothing but hot air.
[...] Fox Business host Neil Cavuto suggested yesterday that Chambliss’s win was “a sign that voters are already reconsidering the Democratic victory they gave the country last month.” [...]
As staunch conservative Charles Krauthammer noted yesterday on Fox News, “If the Republicans can’t win a straight up Senate race in Georgia, they ought to disband and join a country club.”
Yeah, I guess one win in a state that Obama didn't carry, one state in a general election that Obama won by a landslide, is a real reversal of public opinion.
