Dems Say "No" To Fox

Melinda Henneberger: Democrats Dump Fox | The Huffington Post

"Democratic Party insiders say they are backing out of a Fox News-sponsored presidential debate in August following Fox President Roger Ailes's recent remarks comparing Democratic Senator Barack Obama to al Qaeda terrorist Osama Bin Laden.

Fox News did not answer calls seeking reaction to the decision.

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards had already announced that he would not participate in the Fox debate."

Ah, Tricky Dick. I remember one of his rambles-- explaining why the Cambodian invasion was an incursion into a country where we supposed to be anyway. One question, nearly a 45 minute response, according to some folks who lasted the entire transmission.
