AKA "With friends like these who needs enemies"
An excerpt from a 'news' program-RED EYE-run on FOX news
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcJn5XlbSFk
And it aired the day after four Canadian soldiers were killed and another eight wounded in Afghanistan.

You stay classy, Fox News.
By the way, here is the e-mail address of the 'news' program if you want to express your gratitude: [email protected]
I always thought red eye was a euphemism for @sshole. |

Err, actually no, the episode aired before the recent Canadian solder deaths. But thanks for trying.
It was a very silly clip. Bear in mind that 'red eye' is a op-ed/comedy show that airs after bedtime. This show mimics Colbert and Stewart, albeit poorly. It was insulting, don't get me wrong, but not many people saw it, and I choose to NOT be a complaining Korean, because nothing irks me like fist-pumping Korean Ohno-haters. Sheesh, you'd think they said that "Koreans are silly for not eating US beef", or something like that.
btw, everyone knows that NOBODY hyperbolises the belittlement of Americans through comedy.*

The piece is tasteless, but kimbob is right, it is right-wingers trying to be funny. And it isn't funny. Done by a clever group of people, it could have been quite funny.
Anyways, they're right. We don't have enough military capability to be in Afghanistan and are not willing to pay more in taxes to gain that capability. |

Rupert Murdoch and his moronic minions are all for the war, yet they can't find the battlefield. For all of their criticism of the Canadian soldiers, the Canadians did have the balls to step onto the battlefield.
In a repeat of the 2003 fiasco with the French, I guess it's time to pour Molson down the gutter and refer to Canadian Dry ginger ale as Freedom Dry. Canadian bacon is now freedom bacon.  |
