Seems that Faux News was going to try to build hype for Sarah Palin's homage to jingoism by "repurposing" an old LL Cool J interview. Story here. LL wasn't happy about it.
​
One wonders how Faux News still has any credibility with anyone, but I guess when you're preaching to the choir, they'll swallow every helping of bullshit with a hearty "Amen!"

They rely on credulity rather than credibility.

Seriously, I still worry that she might end up being my president in 2012. Being a sexist pig like myself, I can't bear the thought of being ruled by a female. You know what, if she gets elected, I will move to Argentina or Iceland.

I live for the thought of being ruled by a female.
​
But not that one.

I hope she DOES run. She's far too hated to actually win a general election. Her supporters are solidly in the minority...they're just really effing loud.

Did anyone not get the Rush Limbaugh reference? Both Iceland and Argentina have woman presidents. Hardy har har?

Flegdling?
quote:
In a statement Fox News said, As it appears that Mr. Smith does not want to be associated with a program that could serve as an inspiration to others, we are cutting his interview from the special and wish him the best with his fledgling acting career.
So how many roles over how many years does someone have to perform before they're no longer a fledgling actor? How is that comment anything other than a poor attempt to get back at someone for daring to call them to task. He has over 100 acting appearances from the late 80's onward.
