FOX NEWS IS BASICALLY PRUSSIA

  • ANOTHER COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR LEAVES WHITE HOUSE: Hooray, the White House will now have its third communications director within a year! Anita Dunn, who famously launched an actual thermonuclear war against the television channel Fox News a few weeks (months?) ago, is returning to her consulting firm to make buttloads of money. FOX NEWS WINS THE INTERNET! Current deputy Dan Pfeiffer will take over forever. [WP/The Fix]

    Yeah, she’s trying to break up with the White House so to get her to come back tonight all the guys from the White House will go to her house and throw their used condoms on her lawn.

    (It’s hard to let go of the used condom story. Sorry. I’ll stop.)

    Fox killed another Czar, the “Czar of Talking”

  5. jetjaguar: JavaJack:
    I’m really not looking forward to this part. Ughhhhhhhh.

    Her’s was only a temporary posting but Beck will count it as a win. Now he’ll try to get rid of Obama’s mother-in-law.

    Which questionable connection were they planning to exploit on Faux News?

    JavaJack: I’m sure they will take credit for it somehow but it is more Fake news. She said when she took the job it was for the interim. No news here folks, please move on.

    Anita’s Dunn.

  10. SomeNYGuy says at 3:28 pm, November 10th, 2009

    She had to be thrown overboard. Glenn Beck discovered she’s once rented the DVD of “Reds.”

  11. SomeNYGuy says at 3:30 pm, November 10th, 2009

    chascates: Now he’ll try to get rid of Obama’s mother-in-law.

    Phylicia Rashad is a shoo-in for the nomination.

  12. CapnFatback says at 3:31 pm, November 10th, 2009

    Advocatus_Diaboli: I’m glad that I didn’t have to do this.

  13. the problem child says at 3:32 pm, November 10th, 2009

    Um, her appointment was always interim. The question was, how interim? She played her cards right, pointed out what we all know about Foxhole News, the White House doesn’t have to own it, and she now gets to go back to the private sector and make 5x as much a year. Plus, consulting to the White House.

  14. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 3:35 pm, November 10th, 2009

    CapnFatback: oh you know you want to. I was wondering if her middle name starts with “S”, or if maybe her new name would be Anita Job, or if southerners would say that Anita done quit. Yeah, long afternoon. Time for a drink.

  15. V572625694 says at 3:37 pm, November 10th, 2009

    She was fired, fired fired FIRED for having the temerity to challenge Fox News. Baaad Commo Girl: you leave now!

  16. rottenart says at 3:38 pm, November 10th, 2009

    But what is her connection to Van Jones?

  17. SomeNYGuy says at 3:42 pm, November 10th, 2009

    Advocatus_Diaboli: Anita Stiffe-Drinck.

  18. shadowMark: Meh, I have been throwing condoms on Dana Perino’s lawn to get her to come back for months now.

  19. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 4:23 pm, November 10th, 2009

    Advocatus_Diaboli: Anita Dunn, John Dunne, Un-Dunn.

  20. Hooray For Anything says at 4:33 pm, November 10th, 2009

    Who would want that job? Most of your responsibilities are in trying to deal with whatever bat shit insane the WingNuts are saying. Like on Monday, you’ll get a memo saying that Glenn Beck accused the President of trying to send Tea Baggers to Siberia. And then on Wednesday there’s the memo saying that Sarah Palin accused the White House of wanting put Salaam alaikum on pennies and on the next day you’re told that Fox News says that the Health Care bill has an amendment calling for an Abortion Truck to ride around neighborhoods giving away free abortions. Feh.

  21. Mr Blifil says at 4:36 pm, November 10th, 2009

    What was she, the Craft Services Czar?

  22. Advocatus_Diaboli: Stick a fork in her.

  23. LowerdPeninsula says at 1:50 am, November 11th, 2009

    There was an article in Time, last month, where she made it clear that she never meant to be there for long.
