      Actually, what hurts is to call FOX a News Network.

      I guess from now on every election the Republicans lose will have, according to right wing analysis, dire consequences for the continuing existence of Western civilization. I would remind them that if this country was able to survive eight years of Bush and Cheney we can survive anything.

        We haven't survived Bush and Cheney yet. Their actions are still being untangled from their death grip upon the necks of the American people.

          True...

          BTW, I wonder if Kilmeade ever heard of Sonny Bono.

            Yeah, it was the music his parents wouldn't let him buy because they thought it sounded "too black".

      Just how exactly is this considered..... news? By what or who's standard does Fox-Noise use?

      Sadly, some of the morons that watch this crappy show will undoubtedly take Kilmeade's word that Senator Franken has mental issues without any proof what so ever. Just the word of a half-wit and his little helpers.

      I would say that Senator Franken should sue these people for lying, but considering what happened to the two ex-Fox producers down in Florida a few years back... probably not the best idea...

        Who's safe now? I know the answer to that. The Democratic party and America is safe from any filibuster. We know the Republican Senate isn't safe.

      Fair and balanced?
      Fox should be ashamed...but of course they are not
      it hurt because they see the GOP going the way of the Whigs
      Soon the republican party will become irrelevant, I can only hope Fox News does as well.

        I love how we blather on about media bias as if it is news in itself. All "news" channels get around journalistic integrity by having news commentary programs. I am not sure where you can get raw news anymore.

      Seriously? I know she's not a Senator but isn't Michelle Bachmann from MN? Does he think Al Franken is more dangerous than that loon?

      From an Associated Press article:

      Al Franken refused his rival's calls for an election night concession last November, choosing instead to begin vote counting and courtroom haggling that stretched almost eight months and ultimately landed him a seat in the U.S. Senate.

      What the ?????? From the wording it sounds like it was a bad thing that Franken didn't concede on election night, even though the vote margin started and AUTOMATIC vote recount. It also neglects to mention that Coleman was OK with the recount, as long as he had the lead in votes. The reason this has carried on so long isn't because Franken insisted on it but; rather, because Coleman refused to accept the results of the recount.

      There was another AP article yesterday that had a paragraph in it that stated something along the line of: Coleman has conceded the race even though there are legal reasons that should have been investigated involving the recount.
      Gee, he is such a nice guy to finally give up, even though we (the AP) think that Franken probably stole the election.

      When I see crap like this I just realize how far America has fallen. Oh, and it isn't because Republicans are not in charge.

        Their heads must spin backwards at the AP with so much twirling. That place would be flooded by the river of tears generated by past reporters of integrity from the history of the AP. Now it is sadly another biased outlet.

      Considering the GOP's antics of the last four decades Franken is hardly the first comedian to achieve high office.

      The problem with Franken is that he thinks before he speaks, unlike Kilmeade who can only regurgitate the RNC talking points without any forethought. He is like the monkey with the organ grinder who does what his owner trains him to do. Aside from that, the monkey has no other purpose in life.

      How childish can this network be. They constanlty call the left smear merchants and name callers, and they wont even acknowledge or call an elected official by his name, or title.

      Billo and Seano still on the "Senator Stuart Smalley" crap. Show the man some respect, he was elected and deserves that title. I has no problem calling George W. President, because that's what the man was.

      Talk about UNPATRIOTIC...
