My gosh. Did anyone see the clip of the Cavuto-Bachmann exchange Big Ed showed this evening?

Oh, my. I had kind of read a reference to it here but I don't give Fox business so I never checked to see what all the fuss was about. She wanted to defund the executive branch to curtail the President's power. Her ignorance, while stunning, is not unexpected. What was unexpected was that Cavuto was openly scornful of her and mocking of her ignorance. And she was sooooo clueless that she did not understand that he was really putting her down. It was a pretty unexpected outcome. I say her days are numbered and she will likely not be feathering her nest much longer.

I need to do some googling to update myself on what happened to that criminal investigation of her and campaign funds here in Iowa.

with his frog voice and his flabby jowls jiggling over his tight collar. I'll have to take your word for it, if you say it was a good smack-down.

It must have really burned Cavuto not to slobber all over MB as usual. Ailes is trying to turn the ship away from crazy hard right in a desparate attempt to male Faux look more reasonable.

It is obvious, at least to me, that some sort of memo went out thru the ranks. Wonder who is telling Ailes to do this?

However, if Pox pisses off the Teabaggers, their ratings will vanish.

I always thought Fox was allied with the neocons and Bush family. I wonder if the Koch brothers have chummied up with Murdoch.
