YEAH THIS WAS APPARENTLY STILL GOING ON

    Hope Gibbs plants the truce flag right between Beck or Hannity’s eyes!

  2. (In Fox mode) How dare NObama make a truce! This is appeasement, just like Neville Chamberlain! Doesn’t he realize that Fox is the greatest threat to the world since Hitler/The Soviet Union?

    Friends at Fox, it is
    unfortunate that our tone has not been
    civil. We will try in the future to
    keep ourselves in check. We will respect
    your diligent reporting and
    outstanding efforts to
    uphold the standards of journalistic integrity.

    Love,
    Gibbsy

    “Clemente then met with the Fox Washington bureau and encouraged staff to remain “fair and balanced.” ”

    In other words, it was a total waste of Gibbs time.

    Then Obama ordered all those admin officials who were returned after the prisoner exchange straight to FEMA reeducation camps.

  6. The deal cut: Gibbs will back off if Fox agrees to up the dosage of Glenn Beck’s selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

    “SVP”? Is that some kind of venereal disease?

    A truce. A truce would be the only anchor left on FUX would be Shep Smith. And like MSNBC, they would have to turn over 3 hours of prime time in the AM to a librul ex-house member, and hire Alan Grayson to be a “political analyst”.

    Texan Bulldoggette: or butt cheeks…

  10. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 10:56 am, October 29th, 2009

    Oldskool: Exactly.

  11. Mr Blifil says at 10:56 am, October 29th, 2009

    Truce? Whiskey tango foxtrot? I thought shitting on Barry was a ratings bonanza? Now Fox is blinking? Doesn’t make sense. WHERE IS THE CONSISTENCY???

    One thing is certain. As night follows day, Chip Reid will be apoplectic. It’s nature’s plan.

  12. the problem child says at 10:59 am, October 29th, 2009

    Why do they want a truce? Everyone was making hay out of this non-news event. It was quintessential American media bullshit… and now they want it to be over?

  13. Uncle Glenny says at 10:59 am, October 29th, 2009

    And Chuck Todd will say something profound.

  14. That’s how you bomb people to the negotiating table. Mark one up for Chicago Politics. I hope Cheney will be in for his own session soon.

    ” . . . what some are calling a ‘truce.’” ?

    And who might these “some” be? “Some” have called G. W. Bush a great president. It’s a grave injustice if this item doesn’t take today’s Blowing Smoke Up One’s Own Hindquarters Award.

  16. shortsshortsshorts says at 11:05 am, October 29th, 2009

    This is a victory for assfuckers everywhere. Rejoice in our heyday of inconsequential, unending media assfuckery. HUZZAH.

  17. x111e7thst says at 11:06 am, October 29th, 2009

    So who gets to tell the happy cheering crowd that peace for our time has been attained?

  18. AnSnarkist says at 11:08 am, October 29th, 2009

    It’s a trap Fox News! Don’t go to the peace conference!

  19. AggieDemocrat says at 11:10 am, October 29th, 2009

    This is good news for John McCain.

  20. gurukalehuru says at 11:25 am, October 29th, 2009

    I’ll believe it when I hear them saying nice things about Barry, and reporting on stories like South Carolina attorneys general caught in cemeteries with 18 year old hookers without accidentally putting a D in front of their names.
    Until then, fuck Fox.

  21. BlueStateLibtard says at 11:43 am, October 29th, 2009

    Obama is just dithering. He should just carpet-bomb Fox News Headquarters and get it over with.

  22. SayItWithWookies says at 11:45 am, October 29th, 2009

    So Fox is now palling around with socialists? They should drag their sorry asses back to France where they’ll like it.

  23. Lascauxcaveman says at 11:48 am, October 29th, 2009

    A truce? Uh oh. This isn’t looking good for Gibbs’ chance at a Nobel Sarcasm Award.

  24. sati demise says at 12:13 pm, October 29th, 2009

    Lets see if they still use ‘communist’ ’socialist’ Muslin’ ‘marxist’ ‘hitler’ ‘totalitarian’ ’stalin’ ‘mussolini’ in describing the POTUS.

    Just one time, and the truce is ovah, suckers!

  26. “Car Ramrod says at 10:47 am, October 29th, 2009″

    Excellent post.

    With my short attention span naturally I didn’t make it past the first letter of each line…
