On The Record’s Tea Party Infomercial
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s upholding of health care reform, On The Record’s “liberal” host Greta Van Susteren wondered, “What is the Tea Party planning now?” Had Van Susteren done a simple Google search, she probably would have found out at least one prominent Tea Party member is up to some scary stuff – like talking insurrection against the federal government. Instead, we got a puff piece from Griff Jenkins.
Read moreFr. Jonathan Morris Is Palling Around With Christian Homophobes?
Save the date!!!!! On Friday, July 27th, our favorite (*and only official) Fox clergyman, Fr. Jonathan Morris, will be speaking at the "Under God, Indivsible" Christian "Leadership Congress" at High Point Church in ArlingtonTexas. It is being co-hosted by James Robison who hosts his own Christian TV program and who is part of a group of evangelicals who want Obama to be defeated in November. He's also a close friend of the boyishly handsome Fr. Morris who accepted Jesus as his personal savior on Robison's show. Robison, who thinks that homosexuality is "destructive to society," is part of a stellar line-up of who's who in radical Christian homophobia; but it's being held in conjunction with Glenn Beck's "Restoring Love"Dallas event so it's all good. To see some of the homophobic luminaries that Fr. Morris will be palling around with, read on...
Read moreMitch McConnell Doesn't Appreciate Being Asked About Covering The Uninsured
Chris Wallace did a good job today on Fox News Sunday grilling Republican Senator Mitch McConnell on the Republican answer to ObamaCare - or lack thereof. First, McConnell could not explain why, if Obama's individual mandate is a tax, Mitt Romney's Massachusetts individual mandate is not a tax. Then McConnell grew visibly annoyed as Wallace pressed him to explain what the Republican plan is to provide universal health insurance coverage if it repeals ObamaCare. McConnell's shocking answer: That is not the issue.

Read moreFox Business Panel Confounded By The Facts Of Health Care Reform
Today's Bulls and Bears used job creation (or lack thereof) as an excuse to bash the Affordable Care Act. Host Brenda Buttner asked, “Did the Supreme Court’s ruling just slam the gavel on any chance for a jobs recovery?” In case you didn’t already know the answer, a giant gavel appeared on the screen and loudly smacked the b-roll footage that showed workers on the job. Unfortunately for the panel, liberal Julian Epstein confronted them with facts they couldn’t refute.

It has now been 1165 days or 3 years, two months and 8 days since Sean Hannity said he'd undergo waterboarding to prove it's not torture - and do it to raise money for charity. Time to man up, Sean, to borrow one of you favorite phrases. Either do it or explain why you haven't!
Read moreGeraldo Rivera Schools Laura Ingraham On Fast And Furious And Contempt Vote Against Eric Holder
Geraldo Rivera got into an entertaining argument with Laura Ingraham tonight over Darrell Issa’s witch hunt against Eric Holder. Rivera rightly summed up the contempt vote as “political hackery” that will now be dropped. But the discussion grew so heated that when Ingraham tried to poke holes in Rivera’s argument by suggesting he was being inconsistent, he began shouting at her, “Stop it! You are dissembling!”
Read moreThe Magazine Fox News Should Have Produced
In case you didn't know, Fox News has a new magazine called - wait for it - Fox News Magazine. But it's a surprisingly bland affair with such articles as 7 Decorating Tips When You're Moving in Together and 10 Sexy Summer Sunglasses. I couldn't find the name "Obama" or "Romney" anywhere on the home page. DAME took one look at the site and decided that Fox has missed an opportunity. They came up with their own suggested list of articles, including parody covers. For your summer comic enjoyment.
