"Fox News Sunday" anchorman Chris Wallace says father Mike Wallace has "lost it" — after the legendary CBS newsman told the Boston Globe last week that the fact George Bush had been elected president shows America is "fucked-up."

"He's lost it. The man has lost it. What can I say," the younger Wallace lamented to WRKO Boston radio host Howie Carr on Friday.

"He's 87-years old and things have set in," the Fox anchor continued. "I mean, we're going to have a competence hearing pretty soon."

1. This is ANCIENT news, from LAST YEAR. NT

3. Last year Chris Wallace wasn't really on the radar screen...

...for most non-FOX viewers. He is now, and many/most probably didn't know who his dad was, or what apparent relationship they had/have. Makes it on topic, imo.

5. It was brought up after the Clinton interview a million times

...as recently as yesterday. If you search for Chris Wallace on DU you get four pages of hits, at least, and many of them refer to this failure to honor his papa.

Ironically, if you click on the link, you will see a letter I wrote to a RW asshole about this very subject just yesterday. And surprisingly, I got a civil and PROMPT reply back from him (the religious allusions I put in the letter probably threw the fucker off!!!). His response was: Wow that was something. I'm not a big Mike Wallace fan but he should never say something like that about his father.

2. I had no idea...

...that Chris Wallace was Mike Wallace's son. I don't watch FOX. At all. This is news to me. That apple apparently DID fall far from the tree.

4. I have observed that some come to hate those which they..

aspire to be like but know they can never become.
