Fox Forced to Address Michelle Obama Headline
(New York Times/Caucus blog)
For the third time in less than three weeks, Fox News Channel has had to acknowledge using poor judgment through inappropriate references to Senator Barack Obama. The network has released a statement saying it should not have referred to Mr. Obama's wife, Michelle, as "Obama's Baby Mama," as it did on Wednesday in an on-screen headline commonly called a "chyron." Get ready for lots of these kinds of faux-mistakes and even more faux-apologies from the Republican side all summer. Fox is the GOP network, right? These talking-head fools are just saying what their party and its constituents are thinking. It's predictable and it will only pick up steam as we get closer to November. I'd like to set a countdown timer on when we get our first big black d*ck comment re: Obama. Anyone? Anyone? But his hands, they're sooo huge! Well, he does play basketball. The more interesting question to me will be: will the Democratic side start making tasteless tongue-in-cheek comments about old white men, after all McCain is, well, aged like a fine white, um, vinegar.
