Fox's Barracuda jumps the shark

Clam. The HuffPo’s Warren Holstein:

”The end is nigh. Watching Bill Kristol's Eliza Do-nothing struggle to dress up her red-meat-tea-party talking points in snarkily delivered, barely comprehensible, pseudo-intellectual jargon on Fox News as she is coaxed by Bill O'Righty like an over-eager poodle pup, makes me think this Frankenditz might be the harbinger of the Rapture she's spent her entire charmed life preparing for.”

No, come on, how do you really feel? : D

Though most Fox hosts and contributors play dumb as to not come across to their audience as elitist arugula-eaters, Caribou Barbie is the real thing, says Leslie Savan:

That's not going to happen to Palin. And anyway, real or faked, for Fox and the Republican Party dumbness in the name of demagoguery is no vice. Sarah Palin's ability to sit there with a straight face and say things so stupid that they break the sound barrier, leaving her opponents speechless, is a gift, not a failing…. At that moment, you could almost see a long line of older Republican men who helped her rise in politics, beginning with former Alaska Governor Frank Murkowski and ending with John McCain, shaking their heads in shell-shocked disbelief.
