I'm watching Faux News today so that you don't have to
YOUR WELCOME DU! ;)

Karl Rove has a big sad right now. :( "...big gains for Democrats, Specter is doing this for political reasons, Democrats will not be happy with Specter, blah blah blah." Rove was all over the place. Now a few pundits are arguing over whether the republican party left Specter or not. Overall, they don't seem to have much to say.

Now we're back to swine flu. My 5 minute faux job is now done which is good because this network is an eye sore. They have too much crap on the screen at once: 4 different screens (3 of them are playing video) but the main video sometimes splits in half to show the host and the guest. There's a stupid rotating network logo in one corner, a "live desk" logo in the other corner, the streaming text at the very bottom, an alert box above it with more text, and a stock ticker. How do people watch this crap without getting a headache?

16. and for Rove of all people to judge people on playing politics is HILARIOUS
pot meet kettle. :eyes:

Now we have that Droopy Dog guy (I think his name is Brit?) basically repeating everything Rove (and everyone else) has already said.

I'm surprised. I thought Faux would have come up with a new twisted spin on this...or at least blame Specter on the swine flu or something. :shrug:

20. The multi-image thing is a deliberate occult Republicon mind-f*ck
The republicon occultists know that if they scramble your brain cells and signals, you will in fact be stupified, and swallow the propaganda swill they are shoveling

Republicon darkside occultism is an EVIL danger

6. "How do people watch this crap without getting a headache?"
I believe it's deliberate. It serves to keep people a little unbalanced and hipnotized while making them feel important and well informed.

17. It really is that bad
You can't concentrate on one screen. I think they're promoting ADD and eye strain.

23. They're promoting anxiety, fear, and anger. These graphics emphasize
those feelings. They're designed to raise your blood pressure, give you a headache and make you feel anxious.

They are talking about Anthrax and how we are safe from it now by being prepared. They love talking about 2001.

18. Yay! Steele is on the phone now!
Steele is by far my favorite repub douche! :bounce:

A few quotes:

"Wow! Who knew Specter was a Democrat all along?"

"Good riddance"

"This was very much self preservation"

"Specter flipped the bird at the Senate republicans"

"Slap in the face to a lot of good republicans who took it on the chin for him all these years"

:rofl:

19. Uh Oh! The GOP "mean girls" are holding a press conference!
Mitch McConnell is calling this a defection. Cornyn is now bitching, but Faux is talking over him so I don't know what empty threats he's now giving.
