It doesn't take much to get Bill Donohue, President of the Catholic League, pissed off. He is annoyed by gays, Hollywood Jews, and all those nasty young men who lure saintly, celibate priests down the road to perdition and then have the unmitigated audacity to complain about sexual molestation which, according to blowhard Bill, is all part of the gay agenda. But nothing gets his Irish up more that the "little preppy boys" in the executive suite of the Empire State Building who had the unmitigated audacity to refuse to light up the Empire State Building in honor of Mother Teresa's birthday. Fox provided a pulpit for Bill to preach about that outrage. But despite his Fox promoted petition and street theater outside Satan's headquarters, Ma Teresa didn't get her colors. It gets worse. Now, the same folks are refusing to light up their building for NY Catholic Cardinal Timothy Dolan. Donohue and Dolan's personal network, Fox News, share in the "outrage" as evidenced by alleged straight "news" anchor and divorced Catholic Megyn Kelly who provided some warm Catholic fellowship for Donahue's latest in a long litany of rants.

RNC chairman Reince Priebus visited On The Record last night for a discussion in which he predictably attacked President Obama over gas prices. What was a surprise was how host Greta Van Susteren ended the segment - by urging her viewers to go to her blog to view a “cute” photograph of Priebus’ son winning some kind of derby. All in the Fox News family!

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich got more than 15 minutes of friendly air time on On The Record last night. Predictably, it was time spent attacking President Obama and insinuating that he’s more sympathetic to our Muslim enemies than to our Christian allies. But what really grabbed me was Gingrich’s insistence that “we may have to go to a federal amendment” to prevent gay marriage. Color me crazy but I just can’t get behind a serial adulterer like Gingrich trying to impose marriage morality on anyone else.

The hirsute and muy macho Brent Bozell, whose whining scolds (or scolding whines) are warmly received on Fox News, recently discovered that the health insurance plan, which covers his employees at the Media Research Center, includes coverage for birth control and OHMAGAWD abortion . Bozell, a devout Catholic who obviously believes that every sperm is sacred, was horrified and immediately told the saintly handmaidens on his payroll to "not avail yourselves to these contraception/abortifacient/abortion services, not through the MRC. They are evil, and I am unequivocal about this." Of course, the question arises as to whether these women have been engaging in evil non-procreative sex for pleasure while taking advantage of the MRC's birth control coverage. And if so, does that mean that his single ladies weren't waiting to put a ring on it? If Brent gets his way, they'll need to stock up on the aspirin which, of course, isn't covered under health care .  Oh, well...

We’ve previously reported about how Fox News just happens to be in synch with the Republican Party in using high gas prices to attack President Obama. But on Fox & Friends Thursday (2/23/12), Eric Bolling took things to a whole new level when he donned a cap and sang a blues tune to some anti-Obama lyrics. Must be seen to be believed! Especially Steve Doocy clapping and Gretchen Carlson swaying delightedly!

A new report reveals that a Hollywood music agent’s phone was hacked by News Corp. It’s not clear whether the hacking occurred while she was in the U.S. or the U.K. But it’s one more reason to suspect that the scandal - or the wrongdoing - may not be contained abroad.

Sean Hannity likes to pretend he’s a regular guy and rail against “elites." Just pay no attention to his multimillion-dollar earnings. But lately I’ve noticed that Hannity spends a lot of time “mentioning” his friends in high places or his insider connections with those same people. So when he brought up his connections to Stephen Baldwin within the first 30 seconds (if not sooner) of their interview last night - and went on to boast about his private screening of Baldwin's film - I thought it was time to start documenting all the elite privileges this “regular guy” boasts about.

Another example of Fox News pundits talking up the benefits of poverty. We know Foxies think the poor don’t pay their fair share of taxes and that they’ve already got more than enough social services. Last Saturday (2/18/12), the panelists on Bulls and Bears argued that income inequality in our country is a good thing. Of course, none of them seemed to be on the struggling end of that equation!

Brent Bozell’s “Media Mash” segment about oil prices last night on Hannity was yet another instance where Bozell used accusations of bias against the rest of the media as a cover for promoting his own bias - in this case via statements that were both false and unfounded. Guest host Liz Cheney didn’t challenge a single misstatement.

Greta Van Susteren helped further Franklin Graham’s religious attacks on President Obama last night. This, just a few days after Graham announced on MSNBC that President Obama is a Muslim under Islamic law and just may be a secret Muslim. You may recall that Graham questioned the president’s birth certificate and “where he really stands” on Christianity during an ABC interview about a year ago. But Van Susteren gave Graham a pass on those outrageous remarks and, at the same time, fed him openings to criticize Obama for not doing enough, especially in Iran, to help Christians in various conflicts against Muslims.
