Kennedy Has Brain Cancer

While hospitalized for a mysterious seizure, Sen. Ted Kennedy learned he has a malignant brain tumor. What do you think?

Brendan Ackerman,
Taxi Driver
“What a tragedy. Well, not compared to John. Or Robert. Or John-John. But, you know, still kind of a tragedy.”

Rodney Knollin,

Closet Organizer
“Whoo boy, brain tumor. I hope he’s getting lots of fluids and rest. Or running around screaming ‘I’m going to die!’ Whatever works for him.”

Shannon Lazarus,
Photographer
“We’re never leaving Iraq, are we?”

Fox News: Fair and Balanced As Always

Filed under: Uncategorized — centralnj @ 11:54 am

Fox correspondent Carl Cameron told viewers that “the McCain campaign is very vehemently opposing the article” as “not factual.” He said he had had conversations with Smith and that the “violent outburst and the exchange of harsh words was exaggerated in the article . . . and what is reported in the article today is what Mr. Smith has already said never actually happened.”

Smith said in an interview that he was “quoted accurately” by The Post and that Cameron’s account is “totally false. . . . I swear to you I never talked to Carl Cameron. . . . I’m very concerned about it because my reputation is on the line.”

Cameron said he apologized to Smith “for having misspoken” and giving “the impression that I had just spoken to Smith about the Washington Post story.” He said he explained on the air the next day that his conversations with Smith, in which Cameron says Smith offered a slightly different version of his difficulties with McCain, occurred 15 years ago.

Right 15 years ago, but his memory of that is better than the reporter’s notes from a couple of days ago. Jackass.
