John Gibson's words on the UAE deal.
Edited on Wed Feb-22-06 09:26 PM by Rude Horner
I completely despise this guy from Faux news. To read his latest spewing:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,185763,00.html

He's against the port deal, but not so much for the reason of safety as for the reason of what it will do to Republicans during the next elections. I love (:sarcasm:) these comments:

*****
I have thought for a long time that Republicans could survive various factors that weigh against them in November: the war, the president's approval rating, Dick Cheney's approval rating, the Abramoff scandal — whatever. But I think this is the one that really hurts because it lets Democrats run to the right of Republicans on national security.

This time large numbers of conservative Americans — Bush voters — don't think the Democrats are being foolish objecting to this deal. This isn't the NSA wiretapping controversy in which Dems looked dumb arguing for constitutional rights for terrorists.
*****

Yes, he actually does say "whatever" concerning things like the war and the Abramoff scandal. Unbelievable.

And of course, the Dems look dumb arguing for constitutional rights for terrorists. :wtf:

I wish he'd go hunting with Dick.

1. Where does one draw the line between a supposed journalist
doing something for money, as suggested recently about Brit Hume, and someone being a complete kool-aid drinker?

2. Gibson reminds me of Alfalfa
Send Gibson to the front lines in Iraq and see if he doesn't change his tune mighty quick.

4. Doesn't this suggest that a "fair and balanced" reporter
has a vested interest in a particular political outcome?
