Fox News Election Sour Grapes: Donald Trump Unhinged Edition
Strictly speaking, Donald Trump isn't part of Fox News. But he's a favorite guest and always given credibility on almost any subject. So his unhinged reactions to President Obama's re-election belongs here, I think. Among other things, Trump tweeted, "We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty."

Last month, Bill O'Reilly used a Move On video to warns his viewers of "threats from the far left" if President Obama did not win re-election. Last week, Fox Nation sourced from Michelle Malkin's twitter watch site (focused on tweets, supposedly from African Americans, that say bad things about white people) to inform its readers (?!) that black folks might be rioting in the event of an Obama defeat.

Pardon the schadenfreude but I can't help gloating. Remember when Dick Morris insisted voters "are not going to re-elect this administration?" That Romney would win Florida, Ohio, Nevada, Virginia and Pennsylvania? When he said Todd Akin's candidacy would be a "big plus for Romney?" By the way, Akin lost, too.

Karl Rove had a bit of a meltdown when Fox News called Ohio and, as a result, the entire election for President Obama. That threw the two anchors, Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier, into a bit of a tizzy that led to an interview with their "Decision Desk" to explain the reasoning.

Read moreFox News Mailbag: Presidential Election Edition
For some reason, we've received an abundance of email meant for Fox News these last few weeks. It always amuses me how many people mistake us for Fox News and what they have to say when they (think they) write to Fox. So here, for your election-night reading pleasure is a batch of emails that wound up in our inbox instead of theirs.
