Dan Abrams Signing Off

I have admired Dan Abrams' efforts at exposing the illegalities of the Bush Administration for the last few months, so it is sad to see him go. The last episode deals with his signing statements, former Justice O'Connor's opinion of it and the weak non-attempt Congressional Democrats made at doing something about it.



Of course, it isn't all bad, since he's going to be replaced by the incredibly awesome Rachel Maddow starting on September 8th!

Loofahs And Falafels On Fox

I already posted about this today, but words do not do this video justice:

What To Say When You Are On FOX News

Now I highly doubt that I will get myself on the Fox News channel anytime soon, but if I did I would know what to say. Perhaps not the exact same thing as Roy Sekoff of the Huffington Post, but along similar lines. He was invited to talk about O'Reilly's scuffle with an Obama staffer this weekend and things got out of hand for the pretty face news anchor.

By now many of you have heard about Bill O’Reilly’s meltdown at a Barack Obama event in New Hampshire Saturday and on Sunday, The Huffington Post’s Roy Sekoff went on FOXNews to discuss the blogs’ coverage of the primaries — as the topic turned to BillO, Sekoff gave a textbook example of how all liberals should act when on they appear on FOX. Brilliant!

Sekoff: “…and I give him (O’Reilly) credit, cause he didn’t hit him with a loofah or a falafel.

MacCallum: “Alllllright!”

Sekoff: “Oh yeah. You know, Martha, maybe the thing was that he was surprised that when he showed up at an Obama event, it was just like any other event and no one was yelling for their iced tea.”

Since Fox News is a joke, why not make some of your own while on the network?
