Did you catch that crap on Fox News late in the convention coverage last night?
I was switching between Cspan and Fox primarily to catch the commentary between the speeches, you know Newt, Laura and the gang, and things just started getting kind of weird.
First some of the comments where a little bizarre, then they cut off the first part of Huckabee’s fine speech so we could here Brit Hume finish rattling off. I wrote that off as a glitch, things can happen.
But then after Sarah Palin’s slam dunk with a 15 foot goal, I was flabbergasted. As most of us where drying our eyes and holding our sides from all the laughing, Hume is correcting; himself “she gave good speech, well she didn’t really write It, she read a good speech”.
I watched “the chosen one’s” speech on Fox and I surly don’t remember any comments about who wrote the drivel that he spouted. Hell who was the last politician to write his own speeches Abraham Lincoln? (excluding of course for Ron Paul, who else could do that kind of work).
At least a half a dozen times he made reference to her having not written the speech. His counterpart seemed to be defending her by stating “well I’m sure she had input and…” Almost as if his co-host was as astounded as I.
Maybe it was just me, I’ve been a little sleep deprived this last couple of weeks. I’m looking for the transcript, more later I’m sure. In the interim Fox I’ll be watching you; you’re the best we have on the tube now but lately…
