Fred Hobbs (D-TN) Update (You Will LOVE This)
Fred Hobbs, a member of the state Democratic Party's executive committee, has apologized for his recent comments in which he said Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, "may be terrorist-connected."

Hobbs, a Realtor, is a former state House member, Eagleville mayor, and Rutherford County school board member. He said in a brief statement posted on the party Web site that he wasn't "as well prepared as I should have been when speaking with reporters" and that his comment reflected "what I had seen reported on Fox News."

6. OMG... you are right. I do *love* that.
What a moran.

Oh well, at least he apologized. Must have felt the pressure from other TN Dems. Personally, I think he needs to step down from leadership, if only for being stupid enough to believe anything he saw on Faux Noise.

However, I think this does turn out to be a plus for us. Now we have a further association of Faux with blatant ignorance.

Faux Noise... the "news" channel for the ignorant!
