The Short List — Thurs., Aug. 14
Let’s check in with our friends at Fox News. The first 2:30 of this clip are maddening, but then Alan Colmes (yeah, Colmes, really) flips the script on his conservative cohorts, leading to much stammering, yelling and Sean Hannity’s contention that McCain’s time as a POW gives him a free pass on marital infidelity.
- Only the French could negotiate a cease fire that allows one side to continue attacking.
- Who will the U.S. be backing, Russia or Georgia? The Russians would like to know.
- More Fox News: Bill Kristol says Colin Powell is going to endorse Barack Obama and speak at the convention. Powell immediately denies everything. It’s a real shame you can’t believe anything broadcast on Fox News, as this one is juicy.
- Bring on the books about the presidential candidates — and by “candidates” we mean Obama.
- Folks, please be careful when shaking hands with Cindy McCain. She’s fragile.
- The”Colbert Bump” gets the research paper treatment.
- Tarantino’s latest has critics up in arms, and he hasn’t even started shooting yet.
- Julia Child was a frickin’ spy!
