lol...point taken, Griff.

You're right, there would have been some crucifying going on. Was that video (from Faux News) the Fox way of crucifying Hillary for it? Out of context I can't tell if they were just airing the rally, or if they were pointing out exactly what you said, that no one else would get away with it (if the latter is the case then she did NOT get away with it.)

Fox is such a hoot. One of the best amusement channels around, IMHO. My favorite thing on Fox ever was during the immediate aftermath of Katrina, when the studio anchors were extolling the speedy response of the Feds in New Orleans, then they cut to Geraldo Rivera and some other guy at the Super Dome. They were both *freaking* out, talking about the squalor and the dead people and the stench and on and on...

Meanwhile the guy in the studio keeps trying to steer them back to a more positive take on things, and they're just beside themselves, oblivious to the "hey, guys, get with the party line, here" subtext the anchor was trying to pull them into.

I wish I'd recorded it. Best thing ever, their own employees actually acting like *reporters* instead of mouthpieces for the Right.
