Yid With Lid: Obama Fox News Transcript

by Smitty Treat yourself to a taste of what journalism should have been. Trying to quote the most outrageous bit is futile. The Orwellian, purple DC haze machine belches early and builds to a fine fog by finish. If we tolerate this form of government-by-swindle, think of what awaits. 5- and 10k-page bills.
