I never said it wasn't okay for Fox to be on his side. It is what it is you know?

You may find the network not to your liking, but let's at least try to be honest in our portrayals. Implying that FOX News just makes random stuff up is about as far from honest as you can get. Let's not go lowering the bar with unsubstantiated claims. kthanx.

As to the opening post: Who the hell cares? If he said that to his friends, whatever. It's not like he had a press conference to announce it.

Is there a rational basis for why that woman at Fox News said that Barack and Michelle's fist bump was a sign of an act of terrorism of some sorts? That appeared to be pulled out of her butt, IMO.

It sounds like something he would do. I mean, come on - his wife just lost the nomination to the man.

The only problem I see is that he couldn't say it out loud. Hell, he could hold a campaign strictly on those 3 words. Clinton was no Reagan, but he was 100x the president Obama could hope and pray to be. Hell, I'd vote for Bill if he ran.

Besides, anecdotal evidence and heresay is more than Democrats need. Some Dems still deny the Lewinsky thing, even after the Drudge Report showed irrefutable fact about the stains on her dress.

I mean, he seems to have a thing for fatties and his foreign policy isn't terrific, but he'd be infinitely better than Obama. Maybe he'll make a comeback and rid the left of this "empty promises" campaign they have in Obama.

Seriously, you have the democrats who defended him against the witch hunt and those like myself who cheered him on. Takes a smart man to get his at a workplace. I can't imagine having 20-30 people around me all day and managing to hide from them long enough to get some. Not at the workplace at least.

Yeah, I'm quite sure about that, sparky.

And what happened in the aftermath? The article was pulled and FOX produced a statement retracting the article. Your point, sparky?

Same thing. Article was found out and pulled, sparky.

And Fox and Friends isn't a news program, its a talk program. It's no more accountable to journalistic standards than The View. Anything else, sparky?

And that wasn't just FOX, sparky.

You don't believe they've occurred, even after having them pointed out to you. So, these statements you've made aren't really about anything occurring in the media. Your statements are about what you're willing to believe. I can't help you with that.

ps. The Fox and Friends show doesn't occur over at Fox News?

Did you even read a ****ing word I wrote. I stated that Fox and Friends isn't a "news" show...it's more akin to the View. It's not held to journalistic standards because they aren't ****ing journalists.

Jesus Christ, I didn't think I actually had to spell that out to you.

What other shows on Fox NEWS Channel aren't news?
