Rosie and Nancy In The Heartland
Note: Guest blogged by Priscilla
Last night 4/7/07 on Heartland, John Kasich’s “no nonsense Mid-Western sensibility” included a panel discussion that led off with (are we surprised) more Rosie O'Donnell bashing. In his opening preview of the show topics, O'Donnell's photo, next to the words “Free Speech?,” was shown. As an added bashing bonus, Kasich began the O'Donnell piece with a comment about people speaking out and then showed a shot of Cindy Sheehan speaking, on Good Friday, at Crawford Texas. He then said that there are others who are “speaking their minds and pushing far out theories.” Thus, the stage was set for yet more Fox News Rosie-bashing.

After a brief hiatus, John Kaisch was back in the Heartland last night 3/03/07 with his “no nonsense sensibility on important stories” such as ultimate fighting, the man who said he was Jesus and now is saying he’s the anti-Christ, and Kirk Cameron live!! Surprisingly, there was no mention of Anna Nicole, Brittney Spears, or Paris Hilton.

He previewed his show with a teaser about how “traditions” such as the Pledge of Allegiance and swearing on Bibles are being attacked. But in typical Fox fashion, he immediately set about attacking the American tradition of free speech in a rant about John Kerry’s comments, while at an international conference in Davos, Switizerland, about the US being “isolated” and a “pariah.” (Comment: what part of that isn’t true?)

Move Over Rosie -- Heartland Has a New Villainess
NOTE: Guest blogged by Priscilla.
Fox News and the right wing are very upset about the comments Barbara Boxer made to Condoleezza Rice during the Senate hearings about President Bush’s troop escalation and John Kasich is doing his best to stoke the fires of righteous right wing indignation. Last night (January 14, 2007) he previewed his segment on the comments by asking, “Was Barbara Boxer’s slam of Condi Rice more of what we can expect when the Democrats are in charge?” As he spoke, the chyron read: “New Low.”
