Fox still hasn't done Jones Act research
Fox News' Steve Doocy falsely claimed that "foreign ships that want to come help in U.S. waters can't unless" the Jones Act is "lifted by the president." In fact, foreign ships are already involved in the oil spill response, and the Jones Act allows for exceptions in the case of an oil spill.
This is not the first time Fox and Doocy have acted without a shred of honor and integrity. It is especially sad that as a father Doocy is setting such a horrible example of values for his children.
Nevada Republican Senate nominee Sharron Angle is a little loony
Nevada Republican Senate nominee Sharron Angle just sat down for an interview with Jon Ralston, one of the top political reporters in the state, on the NBC station in Reno. And a big question that Ralston had for her was just what she meant by people having "Second Amendment remedies."She has since denied that what she said sounds like what it means. Apparently Angle does not believe in the democratic processes, like elections, set out by the Founders. So Angle would be on the oppressors side of any so-called revolution.Where was she from 2000 to 2008 when conservatives were screwing over the middle-class and lying us into wars over fantasy WMD.
Ralston played back the audio, with accompanying on-screen text, from an interview that Angle gave with a conservative talk radio host back in January. "You know, our Founding Fathers, they put that Second Amendment in there for a good reason, and that was for the people to protect themselves against a tyrannical government. And in fact Thomas Jefferson said, it's good for a country to have a revolution every 20 years," Angle said. "I hope that's not where we're going, but, you know, if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying, my goodness, what can we do to turn this country around? I'll tell you, the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out."
