"I'm suspect," Dr. Keith Ablow said Thursday on "Outnumbered" as the US men's national team faced off against Germany. "I am suspect because, here's the thing. Why, at a time when there are so many national and international issues of such prominence -- I'm a little suspicious of yet another bread-and-circus routine. Let's roll out the marijuana, pull back the laws, and get people even more crazy about yet "I'm suspect," Dr. Keith Ablow said Thursday on "Outnumbered" as the US men's national team faced off against Germany. "I am suspect because, here's the thing. Why, at a time when there are so many national and international issues of such prominence -- I'm a little suspicious of yet another bread-and-circus routine. Let's roll out the marijuana, pull back the laws, and get people even more crazy about yet another entertainment event."
Ablow's four female co-hosts weren't buying it, interrupting him with protests of "what?" and "what's wrong with you?"
"This is a way to distract people," Ablow continued. "This is like Rome. I can see why Obama would love the World Cup --"
"What are you talking about?" interjected Kimberly Guilfoyle, who said her son plays soccer. "This is encouraging for kids to get out and play sports, and you can play soccer from a young age."
Ablow continued to insist he found it odd that "people are playing games more than ever" when there are other pressing issues to pay attention to. He didn't enumerate what those issues may be.

Now some of these idiots are griping about the World Cup being a distraction? What the hell Fox news you are the worst ones in the world about splashing entertainment news all over the God's world and you are just NOW getting around to the idea that there are "distractions"?

(3,539 posts)If the only thing running around in you're head is Obama BAD then naturally soccer is a distraction.
Of course it will be Obama that caused that distraction.
Have you ever tried to run around the house three times without thinking about a fox. Go ahead try it.
Fox "news" tries to reinforce the ODS such that it's viewers can't even make it to the bathroom on a commercial without thinking Obama BAD.
If it is what you want to hear, the more often you hear it, the more you hear it.

(37,726 posts)He needs to get to a good shrink and fast...that dude is super paranoid. I'll bet the voices in his mind, told him all that crap. I'll bet those voices are laughing their ass off at Mr. A-Blow-hard. I think most of the teabillies have some bad mental malfunction. The teabillies around here don't even make sense when you try to talk to them about anything. Their minds are pickled from watching Rupert's Lying Circus. The WSJ is as full of shit as FOX.
