3. W T F??????

Fox News IS MAKING UP QUOTES FROM KERRY.

Look at this BULLSHIT that he supposedly said today:

"I'm metrosexual — he's a cowboy," the Democratic candidate said of himself and his opponent.

"It's about the Supreme Court. Women should like me! I do manicures," Kerry said.

"Didn't my nails and cuticles look great? What a good debate!" Kerry said Friday.

9. WHERE did you see those quotes?

Has Fox already scrubbed the smear?

12. Oh brother

I'm not too surprised. Sad, sad. :puke: Maybe if enough people will read this and realize Kerry didn't say these things they will show Fox to be what it is.

Now Fox has pulled the article from the front page without explanation. And on the article itself the passages I quoted in the post below have all been removed -- again, without explanation.



So what's the deal here? Where did the fabricated piece come from? Who made up the quotes? How long did it run? Why did it get taken down? What happened?

13. Could it have been a lame attempt at parody? nt
