Great Moments on Fox News
It seems like any ol’ regular day. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, the Fox News reporters are blabbering on about a pretend Obama scandal. “Oh hello there sunshine,” chirps the bird. “Come to brighten my day?”
But then somebody breaks script. You know, the flowers turn out to secrete an acidic sap that burns human flesh (anyone seen Ruins?) or something like that. In today’s case it was the Fox Reporter, whose conservative man-on-the-street must have missed the Republican memo. Here’s the video:
Here’s my translation:
Q. I’m in some kind of poor-person food establishment, what the locals call a “dine-here” or some such. I’m talking to a hobo who’s going to confirm for us wealthy out-of-towners that poor people think Obama is the anti-Christ. So what do you think, Hobo? Was Obama crazy with his crazy bitter talk?
A. No, he was accurate.
Q. I’m sorry, Hobo, you must have misheard me. I’m asking if Obama said something crazy about you people. You people specifically. Something offensive. Go.
A. No, he was accurate.
Q. I’m sorry. I might’ve misjudged you. Are you some kind of latte-drinking leftwing hippy from San Francisco in disguise?
A. No, I’m voting for McCain if he lives long enough to make it to November, actuary tables being what they are. I have to vote for him–he and I served together in the Franco-American Naval War of 1798.

“if he lives long enough to make it to November.”
Yeah, I too thought it was weird that he said, “Sen. McCain…if he’s still in there.” He obviously meant no harm by it, but it’s still kind of funny.
Great! You can’t make this stuff up. I think the point that the true out of touch elitists miss is this:
Are these people bitter? Absolutely
Are they uneducated? Maybe
Are they dumb? Absolutely not!
Do they love to stick it to those city slickers? You betcha!

What I’d like to know is when was the last time Laurie Ingle mowed her own lawn.
[I mean that literally, not as some sort of sexual metaphor.]
All this wailing and moaning over elitism seems to be almost exclusively instigated by people who are pretty well off themselves.
[I don’t mean “wailing and moaning” in any sexual way, either.]

Sam, if you were talking about a different anchor (say, Courtney Friel) I might think there was a bit of “The commenter doth protest too much” going on. But Laura Ingle?
