Gosh, what was the Constitutional loophole when Presidents Clinton and Obama criticized Fox News? Entertainment industry nitwit alert. Partisan Media Shills alert. Thanks Alas Babylon!.
One more for the list of never watch him anymore.
Alas Babylon is right. Give him a microphone, turn up the volume and call Tom Hanks and tell him he needs to listen to this.
