At 9 pm ET on Saturday, Fox News will air a one hour special about the top commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, who recently argued in Congressional testimony that President Bush’s “surge” in Iraq is working. The program, titled “American Commander: Gen. David Petraeus” and hosted by Jon Scott, will look at Petraeus’ “life and times”:

Today’s conflicts require that a modern American General be a student of history. In this one hour FOX News special, join veteran correspondent and anchor Jon Scott as we take an in-depth look at the life and times of General David Petraeus from his childhood in Cornwall, New York to his historic mission in Iraq.

1. Only the loyal base watches Fox anyways.

See how threatened they are.......that's one point. There are pros and cons on the issue. One downer is the distraction from the *bush failures.

2. Saturday night?

Well, let's see, Iowa plays Wisconsin in a college football game and there is a cool fest with wonderful music going on locally. So what should I do, watch Faux, which I never watch anyway, or watch my Hawkeyes and/or go see Bobby Rush? I think the answer is crystal clear. Bobby Rush is very entertaining and I am a Hawkeye fan even if they are not very good. Maybe next time I'll watch the Petraeus special. Or maybe not.

Good old treasonous Ollie. The right's kind of patriot!
