Fox and Friends achieved a record-setting industry low, yesterday, for overall execrable bad taste and gross politicization in the cable news category, with a totally awesome combined score of -500.
Steve Doocy, wearing his full-metal consternation look, ruled the death of Major General Harold Greene a "huge touchdown for the Taliban."
I'm sure that the Taliban was very happy to receive that unsolicited endorsement on American national television and, I suspect that Taliban HQ will also be celebrating the fact that American national media personages are so oblivious to their own constitution that they take to the airwaves with impunity any time that they'd like to give aid and comfort to the enemy.
See, what the Taliban doesn't quite get about the Republican party and its minions is that this is a zero-sum game to them. If something, even something tragic, occurs that can conceivably be spun to reflect negatively on President Obama, all sense of propriety, civility and intellectual integrity fly out the window, and the tragic event is transformed into an occasion for glee. Think Roman Colosseum . . .
