IF THE NATION GETS A REAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM FOX TELLS ITS VIEWERS THEIR DOCTORS WILL BE TERRORISTS

Cavuto wants to introduce you to your next doctor

Yesterday Noah posted a kind of interactive media hall of shame. At first I couldn't figure out why he had left out GOP shill and all around heavy handed hack Neil Cavuto. But then Nicole from C&L asked me to tell her what I thought about an "interview" Cavuto manufactured with some clown from the National Review and it dawned on me that to a man of Noah's sensitivities, a lowlife like Cavuto is just so far beneath contempt that it's senseless to even bring him up. Or, as Nicole, in her description of Cavuto, put it, "Fox has not only hit the bottom of the barrel but is now scraping off the crud from underneath it."

Take a look at that video (at Nicole's link above). On it Cavuto and the clown try to frighten Fox viewers-- and remember, the average Fox viewer is over 75 years old and very easily frightened-- into thinking that universal health care means thousands of Saudi terrorist doctors will  be working in America and blowing us up in between appendectomies. Fox is on a full time jihad helping the floundering Republican Party to convince Americans to turn against what the vast majority of us want-- affordable, universal health care-- and if they need to use shock and awe of unfortunate elderly folks silly enough to watch Fox, then shock and awe, Cavuto style, it is.

I don't know if they watch Fox in India-- I sure hope not (I'm going there soon)-- but apparently Indian doctors are worried about a backlash against them. And if they think Gordon Brown's cautious pronouncements about careful background checks cast an aspersion on them, wait 'til they hear what Cavuto and the clown were saying!


UPDATE: NOAH STRIKES BACK-- THINKS CAVUTO WOULD BE GOOD BAIT ON A DEEP SEA FISHING TRIP

You’ve kinda hit the nail on the head. I did consider including Neil Cavuto. I had to ask myself, though, where do I stop? Do I even go so far as to include all those newsbunnies and mindless fratboys that inhabit the cable news daytime hours? What about the network morning shows?  Even that former CNN babe and Lush Rimbaugh girlfriend Daryn Kagan? I didn’t want the post to be too long, or DARK, for that matter, and all I could think of at the time for Cavuto involved my walk-in cuisinart, a pail, and an afternoon of shark fishing. The bottom line, though, was that Cavuto is already satire, fully formed. Watching Cavuto is almost like watching the news segment on Saturday Night Live, particularly during the unfunny years. (There’s extra irony there, if you add wingnut Dennis Miller to the discussion.) However, the problem is, of course, Cavuto doesn’t get it. With all this in mind, TODAY, the NOAH Job Placement Service offers the following: For Neil, I am reminded of another Monty Python sketch. I hope they forgive me, but they once did a bit about a disturbing children’s TV show host who tells happy little stories to his enrapt little viewers. The thing is, the host, played by the great Eric Idle, can’t help but delve into pornographic references by the time he gets 4 or 5 sentences in. The stories always involve things like happy little bunnies and kids encountering a man who sells skin mags, sex toys, and such. It fits. When you think about it, if you have to, Neil Cavuto is nothing more, or less, than porn for Republicans. I don’t want to give porn a bad name but that can be said about most, if not all, of the people I listed yesterday. They deal in a world of fantasy that gets rightwingers off. It’s only a matter of time before a kleenex company gets hip to this fact and starts sponsoring these twits.

By the way, did everyone notice the Bin Laden graphic in the picture for the Cavuto post? If Ireland had oil, FOX would just add a few letters and we’d have a fleet on the way there, too. I believe that this is why Bin Laden has never been brought to justice. Always having a boogie man available comes in handy. When he has outlived his usefulness to the warmonger class, he will no longer walk the Earth. Besides, we’ve all heard the story about Daddy Bush watching TV with Bin Laden’s bro on the morning of 9/11.
