FOX EXPANDS INTO KIDS' ENTERTAINMENT

James Wolcott reports that Doug "the stupidest fucking guy on the face of the earth" Feith will be getting his own show on Fox News channel, called Feith and Friends. Wolcott also reports that mathematically challenged economist Donald Luskin will join Feith on the show. Excellent. One guy to whom almost every bad idea the Pentagon has had over the last four years can be traced, and the other a hack economist who was too stupid to wring any money out of the Bush administration for producing "research" which purported to support their economic figures. In other words, business as usual at Fox News.

Also joining the cast will be a series of disgruntled, conservative muppets who for years have been blackballed from the left-wing, America-hating Sesame Street. "Lil' Rupert" will be on hand to tell us why federal regulations against media consolidation are bad, "Reverend Elmo Gantry" will explain why God hates fags and the poor, and "Eichy the Brownshirt" will sing songs which illustrate how liberals are the enemy within. Also, Bill O'Reilly will stop by to teach kids how to spell F-A-L-A-F-E-L.

UPDATE: On further reflection, the above comments, while of course brilliantly funny, really do not do justice to the extent of Doug Feith's disservice to this country. He's a Class-A shitheel. Juan Cole has a more detailed explanation of the damage that can be, and was, wrought by one mendacious, hidebound fool.
