Here we go again, Faux News "Red Eye" host Greg Gutfeld has apologized to the Canadian government after saying that the Canadian military "wants to take a breather to do some yoga, paint landscapes, run on the beach in gorgeous white capri pants." "Isn't this the perfect time to invade this ridiculous country?" he said.... "They have no army." He was also helped along by several of the usual right wing guests that Faux features in their propaganda telecasts. (video below)

To make matters worse, the stupid comments came right before 4 Canadians were killed helping us in Afghanistan. The remarks came about because Canada's army chief said that the military might need a year's hiatus after its mission ends in 2011.

Now like a good little right wing soldier Gutfeld has apologized.. saying he "may have been misunderstood" and in no way meant to disrespect "the brave men, women and families of the Canadian military."Faux News issued the statement only after the Canadian government demanded an apology for what it called the "despicable" and "disgusting" comments.

I just have one question....how can anyone look upon Faux as a legitimate news network?

Did the Canadian government threaten to thrash him with an extra stale baguette?

It's a good thing they aren't real news. Really all they have to do is evoke their entertainment clause and absolve themselves as farsical.

Actually, I think the Canadian army threatened to hold its breath until Mr. Gutfield said he was sorry.

Later, they were rewarded with warm cookies.

LOL! You should write to Gutfield and ask for a job - that was hilarious!

Hey, it beats talking about Tim Geithner's magic bailout plan.

If you're a DNC shill, that is.
