UPDATED: Fox on Bush's Inaugural

Fox News Channel's Brigitte Quinn had Vanity Fair contributing editor Judy Bacharach on to talk about Bush's inauguration festivities. When Judy started criticizing Bush for having a lavish inauguration during a war in which many US soldiers are dying Quinn couldn't handle it. She towed the party line and looked like a shill. See for yourself.

Fair and Balanced my ass.

Bacharach came off as being a little brusque, but I think she made her point well.

This mouthpiece should stick to being a lib piece of ass. She does not know dick about Iraq, when you go there and learn all the facts you can talk. Otherwise STFU. In addition, the party(s) were funded by private money. Is this broad donating her money to the Soldiers? If Kerry would have won would we be hearing this bs? I was in Iraq and served proudly what can she say.

"She does not know dick about Iraq, when you go there and learn all the facts you can talk. Otherwise STFU."

So much for the marketplace of ideas. I find it disturbing that you can't even have a civil conversation about Iraq. I understand that by serving in Iraq you have a unique viewpoint on what is going on there. However, I am a tax payer, a voter, and an American citzen and I think I have a right to discuss what the my country's foreign policy is.

Also, in regards to the inaguration funds all being private; Sure all the parties were funded with private funds, but what about the large amount of public funds spent on police and security. Don't you think some of those private funds could have gone towards that?
