With the immediate crisis drawing to a close, FoxNews is now doing its damndest at damage limitation for Shrubya, starting with Brit Hume attacking FEMA, druids and Sean Penn but definitely not George W. Bush and John 'terrorism is good for business' Gibson attacking FEMA and saying George W. Bush's only fault is that he's just too nice a guy. He attacks FEMA for not acting quick enough, unlike Condi Rice who I'm sure was shopping for wet-weather gear or Shrubya who I'm sure was perfecting his 'water water go away, come again another day' song before heading down there. Then there's Bill Reilly attacking Kanye West, when right next to him on the page, looking for all the world as though he's just another Fox talking head, is Shruyba himself.
That Fox is probably closer to, and works harder to promote, the policies of a head of state since Goebbels in the Thirties is bad enough, that they persist in pretending that they're 'Fair and Balanced', and that people believe this, is what is really galling. And Fox wouldn't be able to blame FEMA if the American people had any idea what is going on in Iraq on a daily basis.
