Lets see, Franken comes out with a book that contains the phrase "Fair and Balanced", which last time I looked has been in the English language for a while. Fox has a temper tantrum and sues him. Fox gets laughed out of court and with draws the suit, and continues like a petulant 5 year old. Whi

They all do it. Just look at how much shit tried to get tacked onto the Energy bill, from both Republican and Democrats. Is it so hard for you to acknowledge that Democrats do it. Or can you just not bring yourself to type the words, "I agree, the Democrats do it too." >As I said I am again
