Surreal moment of the day
File this under “WTF?”, OK? From NewsMax:
Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager Terry McAuliffe called the media’s coverage of the Democratic presidential race “the most biased” ever — and praised conservative Fox News for its “responsible” reporting.
Appearing on “Fox and Friends” on Tuesday, the former Democratic National Committee chairman was asked by host Steve Doocy “what percentage of the mainstream media is in the tank for Barack Obama?”
McAuliffe answered: “Oh, 90 percent. I mean, from day one. It is what it is. We’re not complaining. We have to deal with the hand we’re dealt…
“Every independent study has said that this is the most biased coverage they have ever seen in a presidential campaign. Clearly it has been a biased media, no question about it.”
He added: “I have said this — Fox has been one of the most responsible in this presidential campaign. I have said that all along.”
Did any of you think you would ever see the day where the Clintons and their surrogates (a) complained about media bias against them, and (b) sang the praises of Fox News? The former makes me laugh louder than Hilldawg’s forced cackles, but the latter makes me wonder what the Clintonistas are up to.
In related news, Hell freezes over.

As much pleasure it brings to hear the Ultimate Weenie Terry McAuliffe complain about media bias, I haven’t seen the final totals regarding his claims of “most” biased. To my knowledge, the record holders are:
91% negative for Reagan in 1984 re-election bid.
77% positive for Kerry in 2004 election failure.
Aww, those poor Clintons.

I wonder if Hell freezing over will remove the non-endangered polar bears from the “endangered list”?

Man I’m simply at a loss for words.
Call me nutty but I think Hillary is starting to seem more likeable than John McCain and Obama.
I still haven’t changed my views on her though but I find this to be baffling.

KG, it will only remove Demonic Polar Bears in the Ninth Circle of Hell from the endangered list. The earth-bound ones are still in terrible danger (according to Algor and Co.)
