Righties I want to hit with a pie

When Democrats appear on FOX News you can see how propaganda is stacked against them.
 
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida appeared on Fox News Sunday yesterday and right away Brit Hume started doggin' her...firing questions and not waiting for answers.
 
See, Brit desperately wants to blame the Florida delegates trouble as the fault of Florida Democrats, DESPITE the fact that it was really pushed by the Republican-led majority of the Florida State Legislature.
 
So Hume tries to paint Wasserman-Schultz into a corner but she rears up and insists that he allow her to answer one question before he butts in and asks another.
 
Murdock's sock puppet actually let her finish her answer...he was probably in shock that this week’s punching-bag stood firm. I guess Brit thought she would be some weak sister that he could just roll over with his scripted propaganda.
 
I want to hit Brit with a pie so badly, can't stand to look at his poison-toad face, can't stand his sneer and eye rolls aimed at Juan Williams...but I did enjoy his little sneer after Wasserman Schultz basically told him to chill.
 
And she was right about who was to blame for the early voting and the difficult choice state Republicans made for Democrats.
 
She explained, among other things, that the decision to move the Florida election was one the Democrats agreed with because they were actually voting to create a paper trail in Florida. It's the best answer I've heard yet regarding what took place there.
 
And boo hoo...Tucker Carlson's show is getting the axe. But he stays on as a political contributor to all MSNBC shows at least through the 2008 election. Another smarmy smug-face I'd like to hit with a pie.
 
When is MSNBC going to realize that instead of copying Fox News, they can be different but also successful.?
 
And how 'bout that Oxycontin-clown Limbaugh getting in trouble with the ladies of "The View"?...even conservative Elizabeth Hasselbeck.

He was talking about a split ticket and said: "Let's say it is Obama and Hillary…Let's put Hillary at the top...that's a position she's familiar with...therefore, you've got a woman and a black for the first time ever on the Democrat ticket. Ahem. They don't have a prayer."
 
Whoopi Goldberg asked, "Now, isn't this still America? Isn't this the place where we say anybody could be president if you are a United States citizen? Should we say they don't have a prayer quite yet?"
 
Barbara Walters said that "a lot of conservatives love him."
 
Hasselbeck said "I don't, I'm a conservative and I don't love him."
 
Joy Behar then mentioned Limbaugh's history of prescription drug abuse, asked if Oxycontin was a "downer drug."
 
Hasselbeck, agitated, continued to pile on Limbaugh, "I think that's giving him an out. I don't think it's about the drugs. I don't think it's about his past. It's about his intention and his heart and I think it's cruel."
 
I watched all that with my pie arm itching, and commiserated with some of it, even though I have said myself that a black and/or a woman are going to have a hard time being elected in today's racist and sexist America.
 
But what I couldn't understand was why nobody mentioned the fact that Rush gets away with references to Hillary's sex life--"Let's put Hillary at the top, that's a position she's familiar with...."
 
That is sexism to the nth degree and all those View ladies just let it slide.
 
Imagine what would happen if Rush made comments about Obama's or McCain's sexual positions.
