In the simple-minded, bash-anything-Obama world of Fox News, the following is deemed to be razor sharp, inquisitive commentary.
“The President took a matter of hours to pick a commander in Afghanistan so why is it taking months to plug the leaking oil?” – Brian KilmeadeFox and Friends
…and five million idiots watching Fox stood up straight, scratched their heads in unison, grunted, shoved another ten Doritos into their face and asked, “Yeah, how come?” Then they burped, took a deep mind-numbing sniff of their armpits and slouched back into their rocking chairs. Life was good.

Remember, keep on repeating the lie often enough and in time, enough fools will believe you. Fox and other global warming deniers are chuckling away, believing that the East Coast snowstorms somehow invalidate the concept of global warming.
Fox News took advantage of today’s East Coast blizzard to prove some point or other about Al Gore on Cavuto this afternoon. Guest host Eric Bolling did color commentary as a copy of Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” was placed outside Fox News HQ to prove, it seems, that today’s record-breaking snowfall that shut down infrastructure in at least three major cities proves that Gore’s climate change warnings are without merit.
“Poor Al Gore,” Bolling told viewers as the snow piled up around Gore’s book on air. “We should get a camera outside his house.”
See video at end of post. In fact, these record snowstorms are more an indicator of global warming than not.
The 2009 U.S. Climate Impacts Report found that large-scale cold-weather storm systems have gradually tracked to the north in the U.S. over the past 50 years. While the frequency of storms in the middle latitudes has decreased as the climate has warmed, the intensity of those storms has increased. That’s in part because of global warming – hotter air can hold more moisture, so when a storm gathers it can unleash massive amounts of snow.
But as far as winter storms go, shouldn’t climate change make it too warm for snow to fall? Eventually that is likely to happen – but probably not for a while. In the meantime, warmer air could be supercharged with moisture and, as long as the temperature remains below 32°F, it will result in blizzards rather than drenching winter rainstorms.
Burying Gore’s book in a snowbank, while cutesy, only helps in demonstrating Fox’s complete lack of integrity and unwillingness to deal in honest journalism. Unfortunately, they have an audience dumb enough to accept it all ’cause it’s easier to believe what some teevee guy says than actually trying to understand the science behind it all. .

Fox News does this on such a regular basis that we hardly notice anymore. .

Let me take a slant different than what you’ll read on most liberal blogs. I’m not going to slam Perino here. Yes, she’s a typical delusional conservative but I don’t think she’s an idiot. She’s quite aware of 9/11. What she most probably meant to say was that under President Bush, there had been no attack on U.S. soil since 9/11. It’s sort of 9/11 being the point from which we measure all future acts of terrorism. Fine, I’ll give her that but the fact still remains that 9/11 happened under Bush’s watch and his administration ignored memos and intelligence from the NSA that al Qaeda was planning an attack.
What is more unforgivable is Hannity and the lackey in the video (whoever) sitting there and not saying a single word to correct the gross misstatement by Perino. Their focus is so aimed at attacking and destroying Obama that even a statement so blatantly wrong flies right over their heads.
Hey, what can we say about Fox that has not been said a thousand times…
