Asshole Alert
Now Playing: Kill Bill Volume 1 Soundtrack
From the Democratic Underground's Top Ten Conservative Idiot's List

On Fox News, coverage of last week's terrorist bombings in London was, as you would expect, deplorable. Fox News anchors could barely contain their glee as news of the destruction filtered in. To Brit Hume, the death of dozens of Londoners meant one thing - money in the bank.

"My first thought when I heard," said Brit, live on air, "just on a personal basis, when I heard there had been this attack and I saw the futures this morning, which were really in the tank, I thought, 'Hmmm, time to buy.'"

Really? Funnily enough, my first thought when I heard what Brit Hume had to say was, "Hmmm, what an enormous asshole."

Name: Julie

I don't know much about the bombing in London, but I do know there was loss of life... & there was no telling how many of those people had accepted Jesus as their saviour or not... It was a terrible thing! I can't believe the news anchors were excited about it! Yes they may get Money for reporting it but still! Sounds heartless & evil extreme selfishness!
