Umm, Fox, did Bush grow?
I didn't realize Bush was almost as tall as Kerry there Fox?:

Interesting. What are you Conservatives media outlets feedin' your boy there?
I think most outlets are giving Kerry a lot of credit for his performance last night. I think Bush stuck to his message and it started to get redundant after about 30 minutes, which was when I'd say Kerry started to pull away. I was pleasantly surprised by the courtesy/politeness exhibited by both--whether it was staged or not. Kerry looks a lot better on the debate floor than Gore ever did.

Is Fox News literally making stuff up out of whole cloth about John Kerry?
I don't expect much from this Republican operation. But this does seem to break new ground.

| Rallying supporters in Tampa Friday, Kerry played up his performance in Thursday night's debate, in which many observers agreed the Massachusetts senator outperformed the president. "Didn't my nails and cuticles look great? What a good debate!" Kerry said Friday. With the foreign-policy debate in the history books, Kerry hopes to keep the pressure on and the sense of traction going. Aides say he will step up attacks on the president in the next few days, and pivot somewhat to the domestic agenda, with a focus on women and abortion rights. "It's about the Supreme Court. Women should like me! I do manicures," Kerry said. Kerry still trails in actual horse-race polls, but aides say his performance was strong enough to rally his base and further appeal to voters ready for a change. "I'm metrosexual � he's a cowboy," the Democratic candidate said of himself and his opponent. A "metrosexual" is defined as an urbane male with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle. |

heres a nice link to warm me up
Ive been working hard on school. I took 4 exams last week and have 2 intership interviews this week. I miss all you guys 
liberals and conservatives
What's funny is that Carl Cameron - the guy who wrote that spoof while waiting to file his story for FOX - is a Democrat.
Hey speedracer_mec...love that self-proctology exam!
Hey you stop questioning if Bush is 'lengthening' (remember that Seinfeld.. u know the one with the midget actor friend of Kramers... ) and we'll stop questioning what happened to Kerry's tan... hmmm that couldn't be a barbie-like curtain of makeup on his face could it? nah!

Caught red-handed? This morning on the Fox News website, Fox was running a post-debate story about Kerry with several apparently fabricated quotes meant to disparage the Democratic candidate. Now Fox has pulled the article from the front page without explanation. And on the article itself the passages I quoted in the post below have all been removed -- again, without explanation. [ed. note: I saved a copy of the offending article in its original form. Normally, I'd upload it to the site in .pdf format. But I'm away from my office and without my .pdf making software. I have a copy of it saved in Microsoft's .mht format. So I'll work on getting a copy online.] So what's the deal here? Where did the fabricated piece come from? Who made up the quotes? How long did it run? Why did it get taken down? What happened? ------------- Here's the website: www.talkingpoints.com Nice job, Faux. |

Fox News apologises for Kerry fabrication Oliver Burkeman in New York Monday October 4, 2004 The Guardian Fox News, the influential rightwing US television network, said yesterday it had "reprimanded" its chief politi cal correspondent after its website carried fabricated quotes attributed to John Kerry, in which he called himself a "metrosexual" who enjoys getting manicures. The network, owned by Ru pert Murdoch, apologised for the article in which the Democratic challenger was quoted telling a rally in Florida: "Didn't my nails and cuticles look great? What a good debate!" Comparing himself to the president, Mr Kerry was supposed to have said: "I'm metrosexual - he's a cowboy." Women voters, he purportedly added, "should like me! I do manicures." The article appeared under the byline of Carl Cameron, who has been following Mr Kerry on the campaign trail. It had been posted on the site, the network said in a statement, because of "fatigue and bad judgment, rather than malice." "Carl Cameron made a stupid mistake and he has been reprimanded for his lapse in judgment. It was a poor attempt at humour and he regrets it," a Fox spokesman, Paul Schur, told the Los Angeles Times, though he would not give details of what action would be taken against Mr Cameron. The "metrosexual" story taps into a persistent theme underlying the election race, in which the Republican party and its supporters in the media have sought to make a campaign issue of the candidates' perceived masculinity. At the party's convention in New York last month, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger called Mr Kerry's advisers "economic girlie-men". A metrosexual, the fake Fox article helpfully concluded, "is defined as an urbane male with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle". http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselectio...1319075,00.html |
Hmm, I wonder how he'll be reprimanded since they wouldn't disclose on that part of information. I bet that if we check it out in a half a year or so, he'll still be working for Fox.
