Fox is like a bad cartoon. This from the American Prospect blog coverage of the Democratic Convention:
FOX NEWS, 10:15 P.M.: While Ron Reagan pled for seriousness and moral courage in our national stem-cell research policy, FOX News helped out with informative biographical flashes about the speaker: “Left law school to become a dancer … Danced for the Joffrey Ballet … Wrote for Ladies’ Home Journal … Occasional host on Animal Planet … Editor for Playboy … ” You get the picture. At one point they cut to a delegate in the audience in an enormous rainbow hat. That network’s a real class act. –Sam Rosenfeld

I don’t think this can actually be funny (In reference to losing the vote to ban homosexual marriage):
“Remember two centuries ago when William Wilberforce started his campaign to abolish the slave trade in Britain. He didn’t have the votes, but he persisted. And after twenty years, he prevailed.”
I was gonna say it was funny, but no…
Back to jail, Colson.
UPDATE:
By the way, Colson, you won’t win this. Look at your trends. Also, props to my relative, John McCain, for voting ‘no’ on this nonsense. (Now tell me again why this reasonable right-winger isn’t your nominee? He’ll be front and center at your conference in MY city with OUR moderates speaking, Rudolph “Drag Queen” Giuliani, and George “Pro-Choice” Pataki. )
