Whoops, we got those pesky Ds and Rs mixed up again!

Woo Hoo Shykid! (4.00 / 1)

This is a hoot! I stupidly thought this mistake with Governor Latinlover was a one-time goof up.  Obviously this is Faux News someone's idea of a not funny joke. Or else they think the stupid people who watch might subliminally start to blame these idiotic scandals on those with a REAL "D" next to their name.  Hmmm, maybe they could be right on that.

Seriously, folks (4.00 / 1)

Fox , (conjugation : Fix, Fox, Faux, F**ks), actually does this frequently, and nobody really believes it's a mistake.  They love them some republicans, and ain't about to call hypocricy on them, so you know, slip in a "D" and everyone will say it's those immoral Democrats.

Now, Shykid, we welcome you with open arms, especially the word "moonbats".  But all this talk about how hard you do or do not bite, well that is just too graphic.  Save it for you girlfriend in Argentina.

Great diary.  Looking forward to many more.

They do this completely on purpose (0.00 / 0)

A lot of non-political people are forced into watching Fox in doctor's and car repair waiting rooms. This is done so people who only scan the text graphic will associate the offending Repub with the Democrats.

It's a gut feeling, but I would bet that most of the folks who use Fox as their "news source" don't know Mark Sanford from a hole in the ground, so why not label him a Democrat then come back later and say "Ooops!"

It's completely obvious that this is done on purpose.

You make a good point, Dardango, (0.00 / 0)

I have recently started asking businesses to change the channel when I am dining, waiting, etc, and they are showing Fox.  I explain as couteously as possible that they have the right to watch anything they want, but I and my money will go down the street before I will watch Fox. I told one restaurant owner that lies and hypocrisy hurt my appetite.  They weren't happy, but turned it to HLN, which is only a little bit better.

Good for you, Piggieheart! (0.00 / 0)

Why would any respectable business want to be associated with that crap? That Megan Kelly is particularly intolerable. She should just periodically when she reads a story.

I'm not crazy about CNN very much these days,  but if they have to do "news", don't put on FOX. I'd prefer National Geographic personally.

I meant to say that Megan Kelly should just periodically snarl when she reads a story.

Advice for Gov. Sanford (3.00 / 1)

Did you read those e-mails?
I did.
I felt very voyeuristic reading them but I read 'em anyway.

Some of 'em were kinda' cheesy but there is no denying that there is a love and a passion between Gov. Sanford and Maria.

My suggestion to the Governor is to resign, get a divorce, and move to Buenos Aires to be with the woman you truly love.

Follow your heart Governor Sanford.
Your detractors will always label you a hypocrite unless you do the right thing and stand by the woman whom you love and who loves you.
I know you're thinking about it.
You made a covert trip to Argentina and you knew there would be consequences upon your return but you did it anyway.

Take a giant step Governor.
Step out of the cesspool of politics and into the arms of a woman who loves you.

King Edward VIII did it for his love of Wallis Simpson and you should do it for your love of Maria.

You know Bluedad, I was thinkin the same thing. (0.00 / 0)

Maria may or may not be the woman of his dreams, but obviously he was miserable in his life and is longing for a life and relationship that has eluded him. Watching the press conference was like watching someone in therapy. He needs to model happiness for his boys and that is not what life has brought him so far.

I agree (0.00 / 0)

That is a lovesick man! It's not a tryst and you certainly can't convince your wife that, "Hey, I was just blowing smoke. It's you I really love!"

He needs to do all you said. Leave that rightwing SC, go be with the woman he loves, and change his party affiliation. Oops, I forgot. Fox already did that for him.

Haha.....I sometimes watch fox news just to count how many out-right lies (0.00 / 0)

they can tell in a certain period of time.  Its amazing that they can chronically lies and all their normal imbecile viewers never catch on - even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut.
