Andrew Napolitano, the source for the false claim that Britain bugged Donald Trump for President Obama, has been kicked off Fox News indefinitely.

Courtesy of the LA Times:  

Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano is being kept off the air indefinitely amid the controversy over his unverified claims that British intelligence wiretapped Trump Tower at the behest of former President Obama. 

Fox News did not respond to inquiries about Napolitano’s status Monday. Napolitano was conspicuously missing from the network’s coverage of the confirmation hearings on Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch — an event in which he typically would have played a significant role. He has not been on the air since Thursday. 

People familiar with the situation who could speak only on the condition of anonymity said Napolitano is not expected to be on Fox News Channel any time in the near future. Napolitano was not available for comment.

Wow, when you are too full of shit for Fox News, you know you are REALLY full of shit.

But here's the thing, Fox News is the source for MANY of Donald Trump's false statements.

As the Daily Show pointed out last night, not only is Fox News virtually the only cable news outlet that can interview Trump these days, but they also the ONLY news outlet he seems to think is not "fake news."

Which is hysterical since most of us know that Fox News is often ground zero for fake news.

However, like Trump, they are in complete denial that they are essentially the bullshit network. (Except of course for Shepard Smith who seems inoculated against the bullshit.)

And that makes statements like this seem to be dripping with irony.

Yes, Donald Trump certainly needs to "embrace the facts."

But do you know what might help with that?

If his go to news outlet did it first. 

Sure firing Judge Napolitano is a good start, but what about Sean Hannity? Jeanne Pirro? Everybody on Fox and Friends? And yes Bill O'Reilly himself?

The facts are that there are rarely actual verifiable facts on Fox News. And when there are they are twisted to fit their conservative agenda.

Personally I would fire the whole crew, with the exception of Shepard Smith who actually seems to have journalistic integrity.

Sarah Palin admits she does not pay attention to the rules, and that her endorsements are poison. Wait, what?

Click image to play video.

At the beginning of this interview from last night Palin finally seems to confirm that she does indeed read this blog as she actually states the following when asked about whether she will endorse a candidate or not:

"No you know I want to help the cause, not hurt the cause, and I recognize that if my name is attached to a person, or a cause, or a position a lot of controversy seems to ensue with that attachment."

Wow!  Now how many times have we said that exact thing on this blog?

And here I thought she was virtually unable to learn anything!

However Palin barely misses a beat before demonstrating how thick-headed she is by complaining bitterly about Newt getting booed during the debate for bringing up Mitt Romney's "record:


"We can't take a page out of Obama's playbook. What happens when you bring up anything about Obama's record?  And this has been going on for about four years now. You bring up something about his record, you're automatically shut up and cut of by being accused of being a RACIST, just by asking about his record. GOP, let's not do that. No questions should be censored, should be banned, no topic should be off the table."

Did you hear that pop? That was my head exploding.

Does this idiot really believe that fanning the flames of racism during the McCain campaign, and claiming that Obama "palled around with terrorists" was really just "talking about his record?" I mean seriously?

And now the woman who has refused repeatedly to provide a birth certificate for her fifth child, and fights tooth and nail to keep journalists from gaining access to her government e-mails, claims that "no topic should be off the table?"

Is there an antidote for an overdose of hypocrisy?

But here is the REALLY entertaining part, as Judge Pirro points out, Newt did NOT get booed for bringing up legitimate campaign questions, he got booed for breaking the rules of the debate.


"With all due respect Governor, wasn't the booing about the fact that Newt Gingrich violated the very rules of the forum? By mentioning, by name, another candidate which he was prohibited from doing, clearly, by governor Huckabee when the forum began?"

You have to watch Palin's face as she is pwned by Pirro here. (The image above is actually captured from that precise moment.) And her response?

Essentially that she is too busy to be concerned about any rules:

" I don't know because I didn't tune in at the very beginning to hear what the rules were, but here's the deal Judge, I think I am a good, kind of microcosm as a person (WTF?) reflecting what the rest of America is thinking right now as we go through this primary debate process. We are busy people. We do have businesses to run, and we have families to raise, and a lot's going on in this country. No now a particular rule like that, where a particular name wasn't supposed to be mentioned in a negative light in the, in the forum, I'm not aware of. I don't know how everything works. Again because I'm busy along with everybody else." (In other words, "Rules? We don't need no stinking rules!")

To recover Palin simply launches into an ad hominem attack on the President, which smacks of anger and frustration at being called out by Pirro.

However no matter how fast she talks, or how much venom she spews all over her Fox provided microphone, she cannot cover for the fact that she is an uninformed, hypocritical, imbecile that just got spanked on national television by the very network that has mollified and protected her these last three years.

And here I thought there was nothing good on television last night.
