Would have been easier if you just admitted Frankens math was wrong, I would have respected you more..

Franken correctly used the daily rate of deaths and the population from which those deaths came. The math is correct.

Maybe simple minds are easily amused.

No its not..
California
2500 deaths per 365 days = 6.8 deaths per day
Iraq
700 deaths per 365 days = 1.92 deaths per day

Only with crazy liberal math does 6.8 become lower than 1.92 per day.
Just to quote what was said by Fox
"Two hundred and seventy seven U.S. soldiers have now died in Iraq, which means that, statistically speaking, U.S. soldiers have less of a chance of dying from all causes in Iraq than citizens have of being murdered in California…which is roughly the same geographical size. The most recent statistics indicate California has more than 2,300 homicides each year, which means about 6.6 murders each day. Meanwhile, U.S. troops have been in Iraq for 160 days, which means they are incurring about 1.7, including illness and accidents, each day."

Completely accurate. Fox was reporting about media priorities, and his quote was taken out of context and completely distorted as usual by the left.

It's amusing until you realize how many stupid people just finished watching it, and then it gets depressing.

Ugh. I could barely stand 60 seconds of those repellent people.

And they never mentioned politics once!

As long as the day off is WITHOUT pay... I don't get the day after Thanksgiving off, why should I expect others? Especially if its on MY dime...
