Fox News’ Fake Democrat Attends Secret Right-Wing Cabal
Not that you needed any proof that Doug Schoen, the angry white pollster who plays the role of "Democrat" stool pigeon in the Fox News' political soap opera, is actually revanchist conservative just like the rest of them. But just in case: A tipster reports that Schoen will be briefing members of a notorious right-wing secret society on Monday. Because that's the sort of thing Democrats do, for fun.

The "Monday Meeting" is a weekly gathering of arch-conservative businessmen, thinkers, and politicians in New York City. It's modeled on Grover Norquist's weekly confabs in Washington, D.C., which are basically the engine of conservative unreason in the Republican Party. The New York Observer described the Monday Meeting, which was founded by right-wing bankers, as "the conservative movement's preeminent beachhead in the hostile territory of New York." Attendees have included Anne Coulter, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback, and Texas Sen. John Cornyn. <...> http://gawker.com/5845616/fox-news-fake-democrat-attends-secret-right+wing-cabal">Gawker

And that is all you need to know about Fox and Doug Schoen. In an update on Gawker, he says he's going there to brief them on a poll he conducted for the Manhattan Institute about fiscal crises facing states. I'm sure none of the polling will say anything positive about eliminating social services or union busting, though! Right, Doug?

1. Manhattan Institute??
You can't get any more right wing than that.
Anyone who has anything to do with that horrible group is no Democrat.
