Is Fox turning over a new leaf?
Why start apologizing now?
Perhaps what they're trying to say is;

"All those other times other than the last two? We meant to mislead you."

@EddieTheDane: I really think it is because the Daily Show pointed out Hannity's "mistake," which brought other media outlets' attention to the issue.

We apologize for being so drunk on our own power and popularity that we had blackouts about the last time we did this. We're going to quit someday, hand to God! Just don't ask us to go cold turkey. We just have to get through 2012, and then hand to God! Is it hot in here?

Another apology FOX should give: "Since 1996, FOX has aired programs featuring the opinions of Sean Hannity. We didn't mean to mislead anyone."

Are they STILL using the term "homicide bomber"? News flash Fox: *all* people who try to kill others with bombs are "homicide bombers". The reason "suicide bombers" get a different name is because they kill *themselves* too. I mean, what the hell?

@Cicada: Actually, the wingnuts are down with the French right now because Sarkozy is trying to outlaw the burqa. All it takes is a little xenophobia and racism to get back in good with the wingnuts.

I hope that the kitten that Roger Ailes is strangling has rabies, bites his left testicle, and runs into the arms of angry PETA lesbians. With guns.

@BettyCrocker: Kittens with guns or lesbians with guns?
I must admit liking the mental picture of the first option even more than the second.
So long as we draw the line at giving them mines. Because I'M the one in the house with kitty-litter duty, and the job is unpleasant enough as is.

In reply to Peggy Noonan's Afghanistan Proposal: Watch Nick at Nite
Sometime during that conflict meant to retain the south like a burst appendix within the union for some reason, there was a convening of the brigade commanders of that breakaway contingent within the tent of one General Lee. There was much discussed and agreed upon by stately men in sober mien, whereupon they all broke up and headed for their units.

War stories are very exciting, aren't they?

Anyway, Lee received a blizzard of dispatches from one of his generals long before that worthy could have reached his outfit demanding instant reinforcements in great numbers or else all would be lost.

Lee considered it. Simply as a loss of nerve. All generals in panic mode demand ever more resources and troops. Never has it been enough, not at Antietam, not at Dien Ben Phu, and it won't be at News Corpse. #peggynoonan

"... the most informed and concerned Republicans from Capitol Hill and what used to be called the foreign-policy establishment ..."

Considering that these yahoos haven't been right about anything since Kurt Cobain's dental experiment, this is in fact a Good Thing. #peggynoonan

This is the city: Washington, D.C. It's a capital city, the capital of the greatest country in the world. Sometimes countries not as great try to knock us down. That's where I come in. I have the nuclear football. It was Friday, November 13. It was rainy in Washington. We were working the day watch out of the White House. The boss is the American people. My partner is Joe Biden. My name's Obama. 8:04 AM. We were in the situation room when a call came in from General David McChrystal, the chief of our forces in Afghanistan. He was asking about the status of his request for additional forces to counter the Taliban. It looked like we would be heading for a meeting. #peggynoonan

In the words of the often-overquoted Sigmund Freud, "sometimes a banana... is just a banana."

The entire overwrought and overlong skit is simply the setup for Alex Borstein to deliver her "the phone just rang and rang" line and for Marlee Matlin to flip her off. Nothing more. Seriously. That's all it is.

I'm pretty sure I wrote this skit over 25 years ago for a high school drama class. We didn't really shred things back then, perhaps someone found my script in a dumpster and gave it to Seth McFarlane. Yep, that explains it perfectly. #sethmacfarlane

WOW!!!! They were politically incorrect!!!! Political incorrectness is a sacred, elusive deity who can cure cancer, impregnate Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie simultaneously and grow your penis to the size of a baseball bat!!!! Seth McFarlane has seriously big balls!!!!! Alex Borstein is a Cool Chick!!!! Wait, inspiration just struck me!!!!

OMG!!! Now I'm a Funny Genius Free Speech Champion American Hero too!!!!

I will now laugh at how quadriplegics suck at driving. This will make me an Officially Cool Person. Lesser beings, don't forget to high-five each other before you orgasm from the sheer hilarity. And from now on, greet each other with "Deaf people are stupid cos they're like deaf and shit". Every time you say this, a humorless feminist will spontaneously abort her fetus. Hey, you fucking girl, that's a joke. Because it's politically incorrect, you libtard. Look at me mom, I just offended those people!!!! Wow Political Incorrectness, I just came all over my keyboard from that glorious exercise in masturbationand you just bought me a new house?? You are the greatest of demi-gods for a ballsy iconoclast such as myself. #sethmacfarlane
