Imagine what kind of damage this scandal could do to Fox News if other outlets would beat them up over it, but they won’t, and that’s a major part of our problem. They are too busy trying to copy the Fox approach.

He shouldn’t go canoeing on the Potomac. Bad things happen out there.

Take the number of CIA Directors and then look at the number of them having bad luck when out in their canoes. Not a lot of eyes out there.

So he appeared all of those times out of the goodness of his heart, as according to Fox, they paid him nothing? How fucking stupid does Fox think the country is? Oh wait … I just realized who their target audience is …

Isn’t being a liar and being able to tell lies an expected skill set for those who appear on Fox News, whether they are employees, affiliated, or "not affiliated?"

Is it just me, or does the entire Republican machine seem to be breaking down right now?

“He’s not affiliated with the network,” Fox News spokesperson Carly
Shanahan told TPM following the announcement, either as a paid pundit
or contributor.
BULLSHIT ! He has been on numerous times with his lies.
Please do a serious investigation of all things FOX NEWS.There is a lot more criminal activity going on there.

The more urgent take is that right NOW! Fox News (America’s First & Number 1 Choice in quality newsertainment) is in the market for a fake retired CIA operative bullshitter.

Who all’s in? I’M IN! I think I can speak for most of us who post here at TPM in saying just about anyone here could have come up with a way more impenetrable back story than Simmons did.

How, for example, did he get past the legendary Fox Fax Chexkers? How did he even begin to fool that steely-eyed freak of media geniusness and body/personality image self-deception, Roger Ailes? How did he manage to evade BillO’s mythical O-ray b.s. detection ability?

HTF - no: how the EFFING EFF - did he fool Tuffy the Hannitee, not to mention the laser-like truther-tentacles of Meg “It’s a food product actually” Muffins?

R U saying even Da Judge missed it? And Ablow - unholy hell don’t they TRAIN you psychon artists to be on the look-out for these grifters?
