From off screen, on the phone, a Democrat asks: "Doesn't the four-minute anti-Obama ad you played on your show earlier this week violate Fox's own ethical standards?"

(19,357 posts)"Wait a minurte! Are you implying we don't have any standards? . . . I'll tell ya, Peter, Fox's standards are plenty dang high!! . . . For anything to appear on this show, for instance, it has to meet with our approval or wither under our disdain! . . . It also must be apprensible and in English (unless we're making a joke)! . . . And that's just to mention a few!!! . . . You gotta lotta gall to imply we have no standards!!!"
