It's hard to imagine a more important news story yesterday than the war breaking out between Russia and Georgia.
Well, not if Fox has anything to say about it. No matter how hard guest Bonnie Erbe of PBS wants to steer the discussion to the events in Georgia, Fox news host Gregg Jarrett just can't get his mind off that John Edwards:
ERBE: The American public have told pollsters, this political season they want substance. Both these candidates have expressed support for allowing Georgia into NATO. … We could have been on the verge of nuclear war. Those are the kinds of the things that the American public wants to see discussed.JARRETT: Right. You know, but getting back to Edwards, during the Monica Lewinsky affair, Edwards absolutely ripped into Bill Clinton.
Maybe Jarrett is from Mars and Erbe is from Venus, but it's clear to me this guy just has one thing on his mind and it's preventing him from actually hearing what another human being has to say. Insert your own Freudian analysis here.
JARRETT: [The Enquirer] was right about the affair, the pregnancy, the recent late-at-night, Beverley hills liaison, what appears to be 'hush money' that was paid to her, and until he takes a paternity test, he might still be lying, right?
