The United States of America is awesome, we are awesome

There are days when I wish the apocalypse would just hurry up and get here.

We tortured some folks? Awesome! The witty scalawags in charge of Fox News hired a good-looking numbskull named Andrea Tantaros to be one of their hosts. (Her name, incidentally, is an anagram for tan Satan adorer.) When the Senate issued a report on the CIA's use of torture, she offered a highly erudite response:

“The United States of America is awesome, we are awesome,” she said. “But we’ve had this discussion. We’ve closed the book on it, and we’ve stopped doing it. And the reason they want to have this discussion is not to show how awesome we are. This administration wants to have this discussion to show us how we’re not awesome.”

“They apologized for this country, they don’t like this country, they want us to look bad. And all this does is have our enemies laughing at us, that we are having this debate again,” Tantaros added.

I am told that she offered similar sentiments during her job interview: "Okay, like, the CIA is like totally bitchin, okay? And there are like all these people out there who are always ragging on the CIA and stuff? And I'm like, what's up with that?" Then she held her finger in the air and chanted "We're number one! We're number one!"

Roger Ailes heard all of this and said: "Hired!"

By the way, Tan Satan Adorer and other right-wingers are blaming Obama for the release of this report. Why blame him? Did he do anything to pry it loose?
