Utter Gobsmackeration

This has been kicking around for a day, and I was on a plane and so forth, but still, if you haven't seen this video of Fox News's Shepard Smith pushing back hard on Joe the Unlicensed One for saying that an Obama victory would be the death of Israel then really, I must insist that you drop what you're doing and watch it. You will quake in disbelief.

A Rubicon has been crossed when Fox News is defending Obama on the subject of Israel. It's only a shame that this nincompoop -- who, remember, doesn't actually make anywhere near $250,000 -- will get a larger tax cut under Obama than he would under McCain. Maybe an Obama administration could deny him his chunk and use it to buy Israel bonds.
