fox was particularly obliging this week but it can never be said they're not generous when it comes to offering up candidates. leading off, we have bill o'reilly and his hissy-fit over being criticized for his epic failure as an interviewer and then being offended when someone dares to point it out. after columnist dana milbank pointed out that bill interrupted the president 42 times, spent 42% of his airtime on benghazi, 30% on the affordable care act, 20% on the irs "scandal" and of the approximately 2500 words spoken 1000 were in bill's dulcite tone, bill calls dana a kook, "weasel beneath contempt", a far-left zealot and a liar. and, in a surprising turn, one of bill's own partners at fox, has the nerve...the NERVE, mind you...to call him out as being disrespectful. who, you ask, would dare turn on one of their own? none other than geraldo rivera. someone please check the temperature in hell. geraldo goes on to claim hev felt bill was offensive to the president, especially when he called him a community organizer, which bill, of course vehemently denied. that is, until he was shown the video, after which he returned to being his ever-lovin' dismissive self, claiming he simply didn't remember it because it was so "inconsequential".
meanwhile, in response to the announcement that cvs would discontinue the sale of cigarettes, gretchen carlson just had to ask, "is it legal to restrict the availability of tobacco in a private store like this?" gretchen, please, pay attention. the store decided. they are not being told by the government that they can't sell them. it's called taking personal responsibility, something i thought you were supposed to be all for. or did you forget to write that on your hand under "things we support at fox"?
moving from one bimbo to another, we have laura ingraham who claims that more spanish is being spoken in this country by "pushy mexicans" (you go, girl! that's the way for the 'new republicans' to reach out to minorities!) and their "jingoism", all in an attempt to reclaim the united states as a part of mexico we'll break in here for a little lesson: according to wikipedia, jingoism refers to or is defined as "a country's advocation of the use of force against peaceful relations, either economic or political, with other countries in order to safeguard what it perceives as it's national interests. colloquially, it refers to excessive bias in judging one's own country as superior to others - an extreme form of nationalism." gee, does that sound familiar? to paraphrase the church lady, "could it be....the tea party?" because it doesn't sound like any of the mexicans i know in this country. plus, she goes so far as to compare la raza, a community and civil rights organization to the kkk.
is there such a thing as a male bimbo? if so, we have steve doocy and stuart varney on fox and friends who have taken it upon themselves to reclassify those on disability as "lazy takers" because they're only on ssdi because they just don't want to work anymore and it's easier than going out and looking for a job. yeah, right. like it's so easy to get a disability claim processed. again, their "proof" lies in the numbers. "douchey" laments that we have approximately 10.9 million people now on ssdi (even though we have an estimated 51-57 million people with disabilities living in the country). according to wealthdaily.com, the majority of states with highest per capita of residents on ssdi is in the south and southeast which tends to correspond with republican affiliation. way to insult your base audience! but they probably don't even realize it through the high-fives and cheering "you tell 'em!"
another one that seems to gain speed as it grows legs, is the hate being spewed over the multi-language rendition of 'america, the beautiful', which some people consider our national anthem. while being hateful, they also tend to be somewhat amusing. particularly those who say they'll never touch another coke product, but, instead, switch to dr. pepper. don't tell them, but it's licensed to and bottled by coke. or switch to pepsi. again, our little secret, one of the biggest contributors to lgbt causes. and while they vent about the two-dad family (and inter-racial!!! insert audible gasp and facepalm here) featured, they don't seem to realize the song was written by a lesbian. of course, since the song is being sung in languages other than "real 'merican" and by people who are obviously not "real 'mericans" (read as not white, not christian) that just compounds the toxicity. i can't wait until they see the new chevy commercial! that will surely twist more than a few conservative nipples.
according to blogger pat dollard, it's all a part of a more vast conspiracy to brainwash our american families to eat more unhealthy and fattening food, thus, once more, over-riding parental responsibility in helping our country avoid obesity. he also claims it's all a part of a muslim-terrorist conspiracy, since coke ceo muhtar kent, a muslim, is a contributor to muslim charities which are "proven" conduits to terrorist organizations. as part of his proof, he refers you to another one of his blogs which refers you back to his first blog which then refers you to comments made by glenn beck which refers you to a quote by dollard. dizzy yet? not as dizzy as dollard.
alex jones had one of his typical meltdowns when bringing up connecticut's strict background check's being declared constitutional by the federal courts. sure to be a model for other states as they move forward, they present difficulties for anyone attempting to challenge similar laws. they'll try, but with this ruling they've pretty much had their asses handed to them before they even get started, but alex says it's all the doing of the illuminati and their attempts to destroy the constitution and topple the government of the united states. would someone please take away his dan brown novels!
and now for a few shout-outs:
returning to the topic of haters for a moment, the 5-year-old star of the canceled disney series 'good luck charlie', mia tatiero, has been receiving death threats because of the inclusion of a lesbian couple in one episode. do some people feel no shame?
john elway, in trying to justify his being a republican, says it's "because i don't beleive in handouts." easy for someone who's worth millions of dollars to say. now, how do you justify calling yourself a compassionate person? can't? didn't think so.
a 9/11 "truther" interrupted a post-super bowl interview to push for more investigations into the government involvement in the september 11th attacks. doesn't really qualify as a wanker, but certainly makes the moron/idiot list.
a california man (no name. we'll just call him mr. dumbass) was arrested for confronting a girl scout, selling cookies at his door, with a gun. must have been told they were out of thin mints.
he must be related to the guy in cleveland who threatened his daughter with a gun when she accidentally stepped on his dog's tail.
and, FINALLY, we have the concord, california all-girls christian school that decided to celebrate black history month by offering a lunch of corn bread, fried chicken and watermelon. what? no collard greens? after they received complaints from some students they walked it back by not offering watermelon "because it could be seen as perpetuating racial stereotypes." could be? can everybody say "DUH!!"
so there we have it. by sheer volume and degree, i'd have to say i'm going with the gang at fox. they never fail to acommodate. i might have to change the name, afterall, they have set the wanker bar awfully high and on a fairly regular basis, but i won't jump the gun. until then, i leave you with wotw!
ta!!
