I understand what Nader is saying but I've gotta side with Fox News on this one.
What's the name of that anchor interviewing Nader?  His skin looks like it is made of a durable plastic of extraterrestrial origin.  I can't trust someone with alien technology in his face.

Shephard Smith.  I know way more about Fox News than is healthy.

And yes, I can't wait to see what Hannity and O'Reilly have to say about the election tonight.

McCain's speech was rather touching. He's a nice guy and I feel sorry for him when he's faced with such a moronic crowd.

Yeah, if he conducted himself that that throughout the campaign (and not picked Palin) I would have been fine with his winning.

I said exactly the same thing! It was the best speech of his campaign.

No to mention the first time he looked comfortable in his own skin since the Primary
Yeah, he seemed relieved to no longer be under the thumb of the electorate.

I wonder if Obama will be so gracious as to offer him a position in the new administration.

If that happens, the similarities between this election and the final season of West Wing will become eerie. Aaron Sorkin might just be able to predict the future.

My congratulations to the Obama campaign on a job well done. I may not have supported the Obama-Biden campaign but I can confidently say that I can live with the outcome, which is considerably better than some recent elections I've witnessed. All I ask is that Obama prove the cynic in me wrong at least a couple times over the next four years.

So, other than that... who's ready for Obama v. Jindal 2012?

What's there to side with? It's not like they've brought up an argument other than "you're not important but I'm still gonna repeat what you've said for the rest of the day".
That anchor makes me want to puke.

Just the "really? is uncle tom the choice of words you want to use?" point.  But yes, Shephard is a creep.
