Oh, of course! He must be a Democrat!

Last night, Fox News aired segments about Pagefucker Foley and ran captions underneath that read, D-FL.

Bravo, Rupert! Another stunning move! Simply deny that Foley was a Republican and blame everything on the Dems! Good stuff!

One of my colleagues believes this to be a simple but stupid error, and I might agree with him (after all, the AP made the same mistake, briefly), except for the fact that it's Fox. That's too much of a stretch. And even if it was an honest mistake, Fox should have, as a journalistic institution with integrity (HA!), aired a correction and apologized for the slip-up. No such correction ever appeared. The mistake was simply removed quietly for the re-runs, apparently.

That practically doesn't matter, however. The rest of the Faux News organization has been hard at work finding other people to blame for the scandal aside from Foley and the GOP leadership. They're circling the wagons and firing off volleys in the hope that they can fend off the impending doom brought upon them by Duke Cunningham, Tom DeLay, Bob Ney, and now, la creme de la beau, Mark Foley.
