Fox was so eager to advance this meme that they didn't even bother to perform the basics of TV journalism - prep your guest. Know what they're going to say.

Stupid, stupid network. They got what they deserved.
Besides the gift of being able to illustrate the immaturity of the typical young Obama supporter, what exactly did they get?

It was sad to watch Dan Rather throw his career and his legacy away over his political beliefs.

Well, certainly. It still doesn't make anything this guy says funny. Alas, there are people in the world who find farting funny, too. This "interview" seems to be on the same level as fart jokes and thus, it appeals to a certain subset of the population.

What is funny is how Fox News was exposed for their practice of putting anyone in front of their camera who Fox News thinks is willing to spew their propaganda agenda. This interview demonstrates that very clearly.

yes it may be lame but goes to show fox doesn't vet. fox will put on anyone they think has their point of view or has a pretty face. that is why fox hire "miss u.s.a." I mean miss america

Just the desperation of FOX trying to find some affirmation of their nonsense from anywhere. No vetting is needed so they periodically get burnt. They think it will work on their gullible viewers, and you know something, it does.

Just another example of the fine reporting done by Fox News.

But then they wouldn't have anyone to put on at all.
