Like Obama who thinks we are 57 states, or Joe Biden who thinks Iran is Arab?
Obama was clearly exhausted and may have been joking when he said that. Also, I believe there were 57 primary contests in the Democratic primary, and he may have been referring to that. As hilarious as his statement may be, no one seriously believes that Obama is confused as to how many states there are.

Biden confusing Persians and Arabs is a bit more serious (especially for a supposed "foreign policy expert"), but that mistake in an entirely different league than thinking Africa is a country. We're talking "are you smarter than a first grader" territory on the latter.

Very true... Thanks to our mainstream media, Barack’s gaffe of 57 states was completely ignored and now forgotten....

Did anyone tell Biden that Hoover was pres in 1929 and that television wasn’t in hones until 1946?

The gamebook for the MSM is that conservatives are dumb and they prove this by highlighting real and imaginary gaffes by conservatives.

You guys know the drill. I’m becoming despondent.

I don’t think flowers would be considered illegal.

Hell, tancredo sent more than $200 worth of lettuce to McCain.

Faux News

I'll watch Greta and the morning shows. The news division has gone to the dogs. BO is about BO not "the folks". H&C is an unwatchable yell fest between the RNC and DNC talking points. Special Report is not so special any more (the panel is full of CW). I may catch glimpses of H&C and BO but only the interviews with decent guests.

...Oprah, Bawbwa Wawa and Larry King are all clamoring for interviews with Sarah... I hope she tells them all to kiss her ass.

Larry King would be happy to do so !

Carl and these staffers do not understand that this is never over as long as there is an internet and that they are the villains. So far the only identity known for certain so far is Campaign Carl. That is not a great place to be.

Campaign Carl has never seemed happier.

Yep, seemed almost gleeful. He belongs on Fox's TMZ since enjoys report middle school gossip so much.

I’m sure you can find it on the Fox news site. First tell him you worked in the campaign and have a juicy tidbit on Palin. That will get his attention. Then give him your phone number to call you. Then bitch slap the hell out of him.

Fox News is a crap. Carl Cameron is an idiot. Fox turned on us around early October. Fox is Obama TV now like the rest.

I doubt McCain’s aides said anything bad about Palin. This story was fanned to dispirit Republicans even more. Murdoch’s Fox News/WSJ/NY Post/Times of London/Aussie Times and other papers have been Obama shills.

I am going to cancel my WSJ subscription, Barrons and shut off Direct TV. I am not going to enrich people who elected Obama. The TV news is totally biased. Turn them off is the best way to screw them.

Hannity is the only decent one on Fox Obama TV. Did Cavuto also sell out?

How long will it be before FOX realizes that its declining ratings are attributal to something more than the expected post-election doll drums?

Fox is toast unless, like the GOP, it re-evaluates its base and quits trying to brand itself to folks who will never support it.

If they’ve got the goods on Sarah Palin and she’s not who she seems to be, let’s hear it. And please, no acting like Kathleen Parker by regurgitating proven false ellegations.

The MSM sent dozens of investigators to go over every inch of Sarah Palin’s life... Well? What are the results?

My only guess is that they discovered little tidbits and have filed them away in the event of Sarah Palin running for the President in 2012.

Another guess would be that they found NOTHING and decided not to report it.

My fellow conservatives, we’ve got work to do. And we don’t have a media that we can trust to just tell the truth. So, in 2012, we’ll have to pony up the money so our side can do 30 minute infomercials (which the MSM will desparage, but we still have to find a way to speak to the people).

Let’s nominate a strong conservative and air the 30 minute infomercials three months before the election, then again with 6 weeks before the election and a final one with one week to go before the election. Let’s learn from our mistakes.

Fox News isn’t as much of a friend as I thought, but they are still better than CBS, NBC, ABC, NYTimes (which may not exist in 2012), etc., you get the picture.

We must remove the “conservative” statists from our ranks. I think they’ll weed themselves out as they abandon us to return to their Democratic party roots. Suck ups are attracted to power.

Return to our conservative roots, and if honest straight talk won’t convince the people, well, we will worry about that later.

Too bad, I thought Carl was smarter than that to be used as a tool.

Like when he breathlessly reported W's 22 year old DUI the Friday before the election in 2000? I despise Fox News now and haven't had them on my TV in weeks. I'm used to getting the shaft from the other networks but what FNS has done is even more insidious. They play along with the rap that they're a right leaning news outlet and then screw conservatives every chance they get. They can all go to hell.
