Good. I’ve always said at work…I can’t do anything about what you think, but I CAN do something about what comes out of your mouth.

Disgruntled, seething Fox News viewers now have to wait TWO full weeks to hear Obama called a pussy on the air.

Guess they’ll just have to do it themselves in their basement studio mock-ups.

If this is an example of what they are willing to say on air, imagine what goes on behind closed doors. What Roger Ailes and his minions over at Fox don’t realize is that while they are happy to spew slander and vitriol at this President who was elected by the majority of Americans, they are also diminishing the office of the Presidency itself and that lightning will be hard to put back into the bottle.
