So, Faux News wants to play the “guess who…” game
Then the F&Fs invited viewers to identify the NBC person who made the following comment.

"The President is to have taken money out of the pockets of every American, even out of the pockets of dead soldiers."

This is an incomplete and out of context comment made by Keith Olbermann. Here is what he actually said.

"Your second accomplishment, sir, is to have taken money out of the pockets of every American, even out of the pockets of the dead soldiers on the battlefield and their families, and to have given that money to the war profiteers. Because if you sell the Army a thousand Humvees, you can't sell them any more until the first thousand have been destroyed, can you? The service men and women are ancillary to the equation. This is about the planned obsolescence of ordnance, isn't it, Mr. Bush? And the building of detention centers? And the design of a $125 million courtroom complex at Gitmo, complete with restaurants. At least the war profiteers have made their money, sir."

Does FOX dare to mention Keith Olbermann by name and risk introducing him to more people who will join the throngs who prefer Olbermann over O'Reilly during the 8 PM time slot?

Alright, let’s play.

DU members, can you guess who did or said the following:

1) “And if Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we're not going to do anything about it. We're going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco. You want to blow up the Coit Tower? Go ahead.”

b) Bill O’Reilly

c) Neil Boortz
d) Greg Gutfeld

4) Which insane Faux news personality once called U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy a “hostile enemy” of the United States for making a speech in which he called for a congressional vote to authorize the King’s surge of troops to Iraq, something so crazy that the White House had to specifically announce that Senator Kennedy was not, in fact, a “hostile enemy“.

2. I'm somewhat proud to say I haven't seen most of those guys
Not that I'm particularly virtuous; I just don't process and remember things I hear as well as things I read, so I don't watch TV news (I hate the trend toward Internet video links, too). This fortunately means I wouldn't know Steve Doocy, Gretchen Carlson, Laurie Dhue, Lauren Green, E.D. Hill, Martha Macallum or Brian Kilmeade if they jumped up and bit me on the ass (which I'm led to believe is a distinct possibility).

The rest of those bumwipes I've seen; I mean I do WATCH TV.
