“Teabagging” Now Part Of The Official Mainstream Lexicon?
Fox fave Brent Bozell has his hairshirt in a wad over the use of the word “teabagging.” He whined about it with Megyn Kelly, last April, in a discussion of how not only was the evil, librul mainstream media not sufficiently covering the teabaggers; but they were using a term, to describe the protesters, that was just sooo “insulting.” Recently, he mewled about it on Fox&Friends when he asked Charles Blow, of the NY Times, if MSNBC and CNN should “apologize for all their teabagging jokes on their national news programs." As Blow said that that he needs to ask those networks, Bozell shouted, “That’s the coverage, that’s the coverage.” Poor Brent. He can take solace in the news that the term “teabaggers” was a runner up for the mainstream New Oxford Dictionary's word of the year. Their definition relates to the protesting aspect of the movement. Obviously, there’s another meaning hanging out there but Oxford doesn’t mention it. But while Brent was fulminating about the word, the teabaggers themselves celebrated it – and that’s the truthiness!

Hide The Women And Cue The Black Helicopters - Bill O’Reilly And Glenn Beck Are Coming To Your Town
Scarier than Godzilla and killer bees – Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck are taking their weak act on the road and they could be coming to a venue near you. This magical, mystery tour, billed as “Bold&Fresh” is, according to the website, “an event that makes professional wrestling seem like a night at the opera.” (Oh please tell me that they’re not wearing tights). It starts in January when they’re “coming out” (simmer down) “from behind their desks and going on tour.” BTW, did ya know that “in Bill's world, brutal honesty beats hypocrisy every time.” (“Family values” and unwanted phone sex – no problem!). And who knew that Glenn Beck, college dropout, is “steeped in the teaching of our forefathers.” (Who are surely rolling in their graves as we speak). Anyway, the tour starts not in Levittown; but in Westbury Long Island which is where Bill actually grew up and then heads south to Florida, South Carolina, and Virginia. So act now for primo tickets and a chance to have your loofahs and AK 47’s autographed by the stars. “Bold and Fresh” – I think we can come up with more creative titles. Talk to me.

Jimmy Kimmel Reports On Hannity's Interview With Carrie Prejean
This needs no further introduction except to say that Sean is indeed very patriotic. Enjoy!

Carrie Prejean’s Sex Tape – What Say You Bill O’Reilly?
Sean Hannity,as Ellen reported, provided affirmation and validation for former Miss California and spokesmodel for the National Organization for Marriage, Carrie Prejean, whose book Hannity has provided the forward for. It seems that there’s this issue of Carrie’s youthful indiscretion involving a sex tape which she made as a gift to her boyfriend – a nice, Christian, and (most importantly) heterosexual video portrayal of a young Christian girl feeling the love of Jesus. However, as she told Sean, it was a youthful indiscretion which she regrets so it’s all good. But now that she has appeared on Hannity’s show, will she make the rounds of Fox Opinion News? Will she speak with Bill O’Reilly (who also knows the joys of self satisfaction!)? Will Ms. Prejean be a topic for the Culture Warriors? Gretchen Carlson is a former Miss America who could provide some discourse on how virtuous Prejean has been in fighting teh gay and promoting family values while Bill plays the video of Prejean, strutting around in her very Christian white (signifying purity) bikini and her silicone appendages. (Praise the Lord for modern technology!) I do wonder about O’Reilly’s take on the sex tape because it wasn’t that long ago that Bill was doing his “wag of the finger” about teens doing “sexting.”

Chickenhawk Brian Kilmeade Won’t Share His Foxhole With A Muslim?
“Chickenhawk" is a word “used to criticize a politician, bureaucrat, or commentator who strongly supports a war or other military action, yet who actively avoided military service when of age." Fox Opinion News commentator Brian Kilmeade was born in 1964 and that means that he could have served in both conflicts in Iraq. Whether he actively chose not to serve or had, like the former vice-president, "other priorities," who knows. What we do know is that he chose to do other things which included, during the Bush II war of choice, being part of a “news” team which actively cheered the war from the first moment of “shock and awe” (Brian and his chums loved those “fireworks”). So it was interesting to note Kilmeade’s question, during a fairly reasoned discussion (thank you Geraldo for presenting the “minority” position”), about whether it’s “time for the military to have special de-briefings of Muslim army, civilian, officers…I’m gonna be deployed in a foxhole…I gotta know the guy next to me is not gonna want to kill me.” (Hmmm, was Brian asking for de-briefings of white, Christian soldiers with white supremacist connections, after the Oklahoma city bombing?) But really, seriously, Brian Kilmeade in a foxhole – as if!!! I suppose that Fox&Friends is a “Fox”hole – but being that he’s with soulmates, I guess he’s safe.
