Here we go again.

The vaulted claim that both he and Tom use frequently that they have been critical of the Chimp in Chief. Tom's real good at compiling statistics. I wonder what the chart would look like that showed the amounts these two supported or dissed the administration.

Somehow I doubt we'll ever see that chart.

What's interesting is that when they did show a tiny bit of unrest with the Shrub it was over basically two matters - illegal immigration and overspending. In the case of overspending of course the solution was not to raise taxes or stop fighting needless wars but to cut social programs. Privatize everything. Cut taxes. Do nothing that would lower the standard of living for wealthy Republicans.

In the case of illegal immigration, they seem to be on the side of punishing the illegals instead of doing anything that would hold the huge corporations that have profited for years from the cheap labor accountable. My guess is the true hidden agenda with regards to this issue is that they know that a large influx of immigrants generally skews the political landscape to the left.

Not a word about the idiocy and failures of our foreign policy, the huge power grab by fundamentalist fascists in our nation, the deliberate watering down of our Constitutional guarantees, the steady creep of religion into our government, the horrendous incompetent cronyism of the administration, the constant stream of lies and distortions, the bullying smears of patriotic and noble people.

I'm sorry you two but your little pretense that you're "fair and balanced" holds as much water as the claim by Fox News.
