The graphic artists at FOX PAC have moved the country of Egypt. Yes, it’s true. Egypt has been moved to where Iraq used to be.
Such a move would have made it much easier for Moses, no Red Sea and all, and of course by moving Egypt into Iraq we don’t have to worry about that whole Iraq situation any longer.
Makes you wonder what else the News folks at FOX PAC have screwed up.
From the folks at Media Matters: “On his Fox News show, Beck attacked The Wall Street Journal‘s Thomas Frank for writing a column critical of Beck’s view of history, saying that the piece had ‘no substance.’ Beck added: ‘There never is. What they do is they attack. They smear and hope something sticks. Frank/Thomas, and those just like you — they’re in love with President Obama and his agenda.’ He went on to say: ‘They look to destroy anyone that stands in their way, but they will fail. Yes, because I’m a Jedi master. As long as we are all standing, we will not fail, as long as we [are] here in the fire of truth.’ [Glenn Beck, 8/4/10, via Nexis]”
So, Glenn Beck is a Jedi Master? Let me think … Nope, he’s not. If Beck were anything he’d be a Sith apprentice, and that would mean there has to be a Sith Lord out there somewhere. Because, as Master Yoda once said, “Two there always are, a Master and an apprentice.”
But who would be the Master?
Why of course! It’s so obvious! FOX PAC owner Rupert Murdoch!
After hearing President Obama had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize almost the entire conservative community went apoplectic, but Fox News personalities have reacted to President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize by accusing Obama of — in the words of Fox News contributor Dick Morris — “delaying the decision to commit troops to Afghanistan” in order to “win this prize.” Responding to initial reports that President Obama was awarded the peace prize, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade said he was “wondering” whether the Nobel charter “has anything to do with the delay of the deployment of 40,000 troops in Afghanistan,” adding, “If you add forces to a war, you can’t win.”
So, a man who was fired as President Clinton’s campaign manager in 1996 for allowing a prostitute to listen in on phone calls with the President of the United States, has accused the current President of delaying a decision on deploying troops to a combat zone so he can win the Nobel Peace Prize? Oh yeah, because FOX News and Sean Hannity get their news and views only from people of the highest character.
During an appearance on the FOX News program Hannity, Morris stated, “I think the reason that Obama was delaying the decision to commit troops to Afghanistan is because he wanted this prize, and he probably knew he was nominated for it, he knew roughly when the decision is being made, and I don’t think he’s going to send troops until after that award is safely in his pocket.”
But wait, FOX News’ doesn’t stop with commentary from former prostitute toe sucking political hacks (aka Dick Morris), responding to initial reports that Obama had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, former Channel One alumni Brian Kilmeade stated on his morning show Fox and Friends, “I’m looking at the charter — and we’re just getting this now — but this guy, Alfred Nobel, stipulated the peace prize should go to the person who will have done the most or the best work of the fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses. I’m wondering, does that have anything to do with the delay of the deployment of 40,000 troops in Afghanistan, because that was his big postulization over the last week or so. ‘Should I put more troops in?’ ” Kilmeade went on to say, “If you add forces to a war, you can’t win.”
Well Brian, your supposition might bear some weight, except for the fact that if your morning show flunkies (aka interns) had truly done their jobs in researching the rules for receiving the Nobel Prize they would have told you that President Obama wouldn’t have known he was nominated as that is against the same rules from which you were quoting. Specifically, “Proposals received for the award of a prize, and investigations and opinions concerning the award of a prize, may not be divulged”.
While I do not find your lack of journalistic skill surprising Brian, I am still finding it hard to understand why FOX News and many other so-called Americans hate the President, and go to such lengths, any lengths, to attempt to make President Obama and his administration look bad. No President, would jeopardize the lives of American service personnel to win the Nobel Peace Prize, especially when he couldn’t even have known he was nominated.
Oh, and while we’re discussing your views on the President’s award, where did you find the word “postulization”? You do realize there is no such word, don’t you? Of course you are used to reporting on sports where made up words like “athleticism” were spawned.
