Faux and Fiends - Madelyn Albright speaking French to the French!

[Ishoutandscream]

I know, I know. How can I stomach it? Why do I even watch? Well, we all know Faux is the proverbial car wreck, and we have to stop and look ever so briefly.

What caught my attention this morning while eating my cornflakes was the "Clinton Claims" banner underneath the moronic hosts. I was flipping channels, and of course this caught my eye. These idiots were going on about Clinton not taking care of Osama when he had the chance, and then Albright was brought up. The blond bitch started on about a speech she gave to the French (Albright, obviously) about Bush's failed foreign policy. And you know what the really bad part is? Our former secretary of state spoke in French. IN FRENCH! TO PEOPLE WHOSE FIRST LANGUAGE IS FRENCH! OH, THE AUDACITY!
Not only did this bimbo say this once, she repeated it several times. And the co-host weatherman (I call him Corky, it seems to fit) did his ridiculous imitation of Clinton.

My God, can they be more blatant? This group of morans are the biggest cheerleaders of the Boy King. It's almost been three years, and Clinton's penis is still on their tiny minds.

1. They Hate Education

You mean some 'Muurrikan speaks something other than God's own American English?

TRAITOR! PERSON OF INTEREST!

How dare she.

6. think about it from the Faux point of view...

of COURSE they hate education! With an educated populace, who in the hell would be left to watch Faux?

It's the same reason for the religious right's disdain for intellectuals.

bottom line: more morans = more Faux viewers = more fundies = more Wal Mart shoppers etc. etc. etc.

9. Hi progressiverealist!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

19. "The religious right's disdain for intellectuals"

Isn't it amazing how they consider being an intellectual a bad thing? I remember when I first learned about this - I was arguing with one of the guys I worked with a few years ago (yes it was at a lumberyard) and then out of nowhere he says: "This kuntry's turned to shit kuz a all you Gott-Damn inna-lek-shulls!" For the first time in my life I was speechless. All I could do was shake my head and give him my best What the Ph*ck? face. Even today I don't know how to respond to that.

2. If English was good enough for Jesus

then it's good enough for me and Fox News.

Of all the horrible shows on FNC, that's the worst. I'd rather watch O'Reilly than the morning tripe.

11. Damn it!

You beat me to it. :mad:

[greekspeak]

23. Ohmagosh!

When I first learned a few years back that some people think Jesus' first language was "King James" English, I nearly crapped myself. I think that this class of people are probably the FAUX core demographic.

3. You're not the only masochist out there...

Every once in a while, I'll flip those cretins on while eating my cereal just to see what kind of circus they're running that morning.

Yesterday, they were going off about Ben Affleck expressing the fact that he's a Democrat, and that he'd be interested in getting involved in politics in the future.

The blonde bimbo (E.D. Hill) was going off about how Arnold was more qualified to be Governor because he had "been involved in politics", but somehow Affleck wasn't.

Lemme see -- Ben Affleck, friend of HOWARD ZINN (Zinn lives next door to Matt Damon's mom, and has a framed photo of himself with Affleck and Damon in his study) and ACTIVIST in the Harvard janitor's campaign for a living wage hasn't been involved in politics? :wtf:

It amazes me that anyone can take these people seriously. I mean, they are utterly ridiculous. You'd have to have been living under a rock for the past three years to not be able to see right through them!

[Ishoutandscream]

7. Man, aren't they blatant about their leanings

I know that you can probably produce arguments for several others on this network (Hannity, for one). But they really remind me of three popular, clueless high school cheerleaders. I mean, really. How can anyone take them seriously?

[muriel_volestrangler]

22. remember Schwarzenegger was involved in politics earlier

he was a friend of the disgraced UN Secretary General, Austrian President, and ex-Nazi Kurt Waldhiem - see eg http://slate.msn.com/id/2086742/ . Oh sorry, that's the kind of political record that Arnold doesn't talk about any more.

4. I don't have cable--please list some of their sponsors

I'd love to send off a few letters!

[Ishoutandscream]

5. Can someone help Joey on this?

We have several posters who really have the info on this kind of stuff.

[edzontar]

8. I saw this too--it was the WORST...

The only thing that could have lowered it further would have been an intervention from Mancow!!!!

The idea seemed to be that speaking in FRENCH in FRANCE and criticizing the failed policies of the idiot-boy was somehow TREASONOUS..like that clinton protesting the Vietnam war in a "foreign" land (England).

E.D. is E-vil.

[displacedtexan]

10. if the blonde bitch was edie

(AKA E.D. something or other), i taught her. she was charming and bright, but her parents allowed her to date the cute science teacher while she was in H.S.
more repuke family values.

[denverbill]

12. Why did they name is 'Fox and Friends' anyway?

Is that not the most retarded name for a 'news' show you've ever heard? It's like "Tom and Jerry and Friends" or some other cartoon children's show. '

When is 'Fox' going to appear on his show anyway? And who are Fox's friends? Fucking retards.

[Evil_Dewers]

13. Fox has no friends...

only subordinates to intimidate with fear and lies.

[FrenchieCat]

14. Speaking French when in France.....

....seems reasonable to me.

Too bad Bush can't speak English to Americans......

[Dude_CalmDown]

17. HAAAAAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHA

Sorry but I hate writing "lol" - I just cannot bring myself to do it. But that was the hardest I've laughed all week so I couldn't say nothing.

[DivinBreuvage]

15. I share her sense of outrage

The French are a slippery bunch of scoundrels who can't be trusted, and I am highly suspicious of someone like Ms. Albright who learns their godless tongue.

16. How does she eat her cheese, I wonder?

Like a true American, each slice hermetically sealed in plastic or squeezed from a can? Or some kind of strange, foreign way?

[DivinBreuvage]

18. "Cheese" is for Old Europe.

In America we proudly eat processed cheese food.

[SpaceCatMeetsMars]

20. Exactly, decadent fine French cheeses don't even say "food"

on the label, whereas ours tells you explicitly that it is processed cheese "food" so that there is never a doubt.

[DivinBreuvage]

24. LOL CalamityJane! Martha Stewart says...

when enjoying your square of processed cheese food, don't forget to select a fine box of wine. Last week's vintage is always good, but I suggest shopping at a quaint little place like "Skeeter's Bait Shop and Liquor Drive-Thru", where you can often find something considerably older.
