Fox Spox: Some people are saying that Bengazi was actually a martian landing…

Fox News Anchor: Speculation grows as to the martian landing at Bengazi

Fox WH Correspondent: Does the White House or President have any statement to make about what many are saying was a martian landing at Bengazi?

WH Spox: That’s just nonsense.

Fox News Anchor: Breaking News! White House stonewalling on martian landing at Bengazi… we’re waiting reaction from House GOP leadership.

Fox News Roundtable: The President is pretty clearly covering up something here… why won’t they come clean about a martian landing? Congressman Issa – your thoughts?

And round and round we go on bullsh*t mountain.

Remember when we heard that secretly taped “fundraiser” audio of Romney salivating at the thought of exploiting some “Iranian hostage” situation against Obama, in order to destroy his credibility just as the GOP did with Carter?

This was Pre-Benghazi. Then, mere hours after the attacks, he tossed out pre-warmed talking points which attempted to do just that? I’ve always been baffled by why this isn’t the bigger story.

welcome to the TPM Infinite Loop (patent pending)

Hey, at least it’s more efficient and effective than the new commenting system.

Baghdad Jay has dissembled

The GOP just keeps digging down, farther and farther from relevance, expediting their own extinction.

I never thought I would see the day when the right actually thought the wearing tin foil hats was fashionable.

Oh I’ve got this one! They’re calling him Baghdad Jay because much like Saddam, the Obama administration is going to fall any day now under the weight of an investigation that’s been widely panned and ridiculed throughout the mainstream media. They’re certain this is going to be just like Watergate only worse because they just know this administration did something wrong, they just don’t know what…Yet!

Someone needs to update Festinger’s disconfirmation studies using Fox viewers, it would be a facinating (and horrific) read.

Probably a Phd. in it for the person who does it.

OK, I have to call BS on all this tin foil hat nonsese! That is just another lefty lie!

When is the last time you actually saw tin foil - its aluminum foil! Get your facts straight! :smile:

Throughout Mr.Carney’s tenure as Press Secretary during a period of some of the most inane and politically slanted forms of questioning by any Washington Press Corps I have seen over the past 50 years, I’ve always finished watching one of these sessions with the same question:

“How does this man keep a straight face?”

poor repubs, and all you have is FOX 24 x7.

You have that right. Carney must be a trained actor. No way I could keep a straight face.

Carney should just call on Henry from Fox and then put on a tinfoil hat while Henry asks his question, answer it, then take it off and move on to a real reporter.
