I didn’t watch Brit Hume fellate General Petraeus and Admiral Crocker on Fox last night, but I did see this snippet.
Did any of you watch it? And how many ads from Freedom’s Watch ran? Just curious to see if our state run media is up to the standards of Kim Jong Il.
*** Update ***
Apparently it was as bad as I thought it would be.

I didn’t watch. I avoid FOX unNews as much as possible.

Can I call the Ambassador ‘Ryan Whatacrocka’ without demeaning the integrity of a truly great Homelander?

I didn’t catch it, but I did watch this morning to see Black-Haired Guy Who’s Not Steve Doocy ponder how congressman could say they believe Petraeus is honorable while also telling him they don’t believe the surge is working. And there was also a really respectful moment where they interviewed John McCain about 9/11 and let him segue into a stump speech about what he’d do as president and how the MoveOn attacks disgust him and everyone should renounce the ads. Real somber anniversary stuff…can’t wait to catch highlights of Rudy’s speech

Without any disrespect for either gentleman, should one not consider Gen. Petraeus’ comments in the same light one would consider Charlie Weis’ comments about the future success of his team?

Good one slugger.
Publius at Obsidian Wings addressed this when explaining Petraeus’ role in all of this. The U.S. public is lost on the War already. Bush isn’t even trying to talk to them anymore. This is all happening because Congress required it, and Bush (using Petraeus) is only really interested in talking to Republicans and shoring up the base…
Luckily Bush is only President for three more Freidman Units.

Good post.
Kim Jong Il is better looking than David Betrayus so I don’t know if that is a valid comparison.

This is a whole lot easier if you just stop caring. I, for one, no longer give a shit about any of it.
We are, at this point, a sub-par nation run by infants, assholes, and morons. I will mind my own business and enjoy life with my wife and family.
I am no longer spending energy on any of this bullshit.

I let others watch the Corporate Media, so I don’t have to…
ThymeZone
Watch them there, so we don’t have to watch them here.

I caught one while listening to the Jim Rome show yesterday. My favorite part was where the woman said her husband/brother/forgot which died fighting ‘Al-Qaeda’ in Iraq so her kids won’t be doing the same in twenty years.

Yep, Brit(ny) Hume sure is a goober swallower.

Not yet, but Bush is working on it.

Did Freedom’s Watch get a discount?
