FOX News: Hurricanes Are A Good Thing (VIDEO)

FOX News Video Link

Leave it up to FOX News to convey the general consensus on the right. Today, as Hurricane Dennis treads closer to the United States a FOX News contributor says that "it's not all negative" and that "there are some positive sides to this".

I fail to understand how a powerful Hurricane that will inevitably wreak havoc and destruction can be a positive thing but in the world of FOX News, anything is possible!

8. There's always been this camp that believes there is opportunity in crisis
And you can guess which party is most afflicted by that kind of rationale. Right-wingers are just not fit to lead.

3. Hume probably asked his broker to invest in housing futures.
Or water companies, or lumber companies, home depot, lowe's, etc.
I hate these people.

5. It's official. Faux has slipped into the imbecile abyss.
All hope is gone. There is no chance of redemption for these fools.
