Fox & Friends
-Headline of the day-
"Liberal radio host Ed Schultz storms off Fox & Friends."
I've developed a personal tradition that whenever I write about the Fox News morning show Fox & Friends, I point out that it's such ridiculous bullshit that you wish there was a stronger word for bullshit. That tradition continues uninterrupted.
Lefty talker Ed Schultz discovered my assessment of F&F was true when he was scheduled to appear to discuss "Joe the Plumber." This being Fox, the discussion was about just how awesome Joe was and whether they should wait until after the election to put John McCain on Mt. Rushmore.
Conservative Steve Malzberg admitted that Joe would do better under Obama's plan, but that that wasn't the point. See, taxes have become an issue of morality or something and raising them on the wealthy to give the middle class a break is some kind of a sin. "That's Marxism, My friend," Malzberg said.
For the record, that's horseshit, my friend. What industry is being nationalized here? It seems that conservatives these days have no idea what the hell Marxism or socialism actually is -- it's just a label they slap onto anything they don't like. Soon, putting animals on the Endangered Species List or respecting gay rights is going to be "Marxism." Seriously, you wait and see.
Anyway, Schultz began to reply, saying he owned a construction firm and Obama's plan looked like a pretty sweet deal. "We're going to get some tax credits that we wouldn't get under the McCain..." And that was it.
Malzberg interrupted. "Do you make more than 250 Ed? Does it make more than 250?"
"You know, Steve, I didn't interrupt you," Shultz said as Malzberg continued to jabber. "This happens every time I go on the air with you. You always torpedo everybody."
Malzberg told him to stop complaining. So Ed walked.
Let this be a lesson to you liberals, don't go on that dog and pony show that is Fox News. They don't give a fuck what you have to say, they just want some lefty to sit there like a clown at a carnival midway, waiting for some dumbass with a good pitching arm to hit the target and dump you in the tank.
If you absolutely have to go on Fox, do what all the conservatives do -- smile a lot and just say random gibberish. That seems to fly there. (Raw Story, with video)

-Bonus HotD-
"Maddow: Fox has invited me on a show only once -- after Madonna and Britney Spears kissed."
Because MSNBC's Rachel Maddow is a lesbian. She knows from ladies kissing. She turned them down.
See, that's how you deal with Fox, people... (Think Progress)
