Yeah, what we need is a confused old man... he'll fit the decor of the White House much better...

I think Fox is just mad that they've tossed themselves in the tank for the losers this time around.

it'll be interesting to see if fox will "support the president in a time of war" when obama is elected. being patriotic americans, i'm sure they will...

Bush, the seemingly "cooler" candidate, won over the stuffy Kerry.
OK
"People credit Bill Clinton playing the saxophone ... with helping him win in '92 by drawing in a young audience who went and told their parents about it," she said. "Now it's 16 years later, and those people have kids and they've been through what a cool president can get you. It's not really worth it."

Like subby said, where the hell are they going with this? Don't vote for the cooler candidate unless it's our guy?

In other news: MTV VJ Kennedy is still alive...

"Coolness" is relative--and I seem to recall likeability was an issue in the last two election cycles--Lurch or Woodenhead? And the two before that--you sort of felt bad for George running against an affable Arkansas Governor, and then sending the eminently qualified but sacrificial Bob Dole out against him a second go 'round.

In other words, the GOP really doesn't like Rock the Vote. It brings out voters who really screw up their curve--especially when you look at McCain's "Extreme Tour Bus" videos...

We've got all of August, the entirety of September, and 100% of October to get through this stuff.

And then we've still got a week of November, too. Yikes.

Yes, McCain is OLD. Obama is a ROCK STAR. We GET it.

No offense Subby, but I think you switched your punctuations around there.

Hmm, whaddya know, Fox News runs an editorial that echoes the latest Republican talking point. I'll be damned.

FTFA: but ultimately voters elect proven leadership,

O RLY? If this is true, could someone explain to me how we ended up with the real-life lolcat that's currently in charge, who is probaby making a fort out of couch cushions in the Oval Office at this very moment?

Good lord, I'm at work. I had to hide it as a coughing fit! My boss was asking if I was OK!

Well, Fox News IS required to repeat the GOP daily talking points, regardless of how ridiculous they might be. After all, that is their job.

Satan_Sunburn: Is this the thread where we all point and laugh at Fox News? Cause we haven't had one of those in a while...

From that awful reign of terror that was the Joe Cool Clinton administration to the fact that this wisdom is being dropped from the fountain of knowledge that is former MTV VJ Kennedy, there's so much wrong with this nugget I'm not sure what else to say.

"When Will.i.am makes a music video about you with a bunch of celebrities and you've got videos up on MySpace and everything, I know it sounds dumb, but it does have an effect on me," Zernow said. "People my age notice when a celebrity we like, like Scarlett Johansson, supports a particular candidate."

I swear to god, I feel like killing everyone associated with this article. farking dumbest shiat ever.

sigdiamond2000:
Why bother photoshopping that when the original screencap is just as absurd?

When prime-time cable news ratings for the second quarter of 2008 are officially released next week, they will show that Fox News reclaimed the top spot among viewers in their mid-20s through mid-50s.

Hey, McCain used to be with it.
Then they changed what "it" was. Now what he's with isn't it. And what is seems weird and scary to him.

It'll happen to yoooooouuu!

/his cabinet is going to be really cool, too!

Also, McCain is the Antichrist whose election will mean certain death to humanity and Obama is Jesus dipped in chocolate and nailed to a sugary graham cracker cross who will make everything puppy dogs and rainbows if elected.

Uh, most Americans would return to the Clinton years in a heartbeat.

/Fist of angry god
//The chick...not the fat guy....

Finally, coolness has been quantified. Now I just need to look up each candidates cool points on election day, and decide accordingly.

The economy, the War on Terror or enjoyment of music by music mogul Jay-Z.

No, it's not a bad version of Johnny Carson's famous "Carnac"; it's a list of issues that could be most important to one solid bloc of voters in November.

Yeah, a saxophone-playing president can get you eight years of economic prosperity. Heaven forfend!!

It would certainly make elections more like a Dragon Ball Z fight.

Got some link, or is that just a strong hunch?

To get show-specific, Bill O'Reilly's audience is dwindling (or dying from old age), while Keith Olbermann keeps getting higher ratings.

Not to interrupt, but didn't you hear? They're getting taxed to death.

Conservatives hate things and people that are cool.

Always have.

Yeah, I guess. Argument's fallacious anyhow, Clinton won in '92 mostly because:
(1) "Read my lips: no new taxes"
(2) Ross Perot

Admittedly, he was kind of cool, though. Albeit a complete dick and a mediocre president at best. Glad nothing particularly bad happened during his watch, I'm sure he would have managed to screw it up. Coolly.

//Article is more than slightly stupid.

Kennedy has a tattoo of the Republican elephant on her thigh. It's not like she's biased or anything.

I guess the implication is that because she was on MTV at some point, she must have some cachet with the kids. She's just another boring talk show host now. She was a pretty boring VJ as well, come to think of it.

Got some link, or is that just a strong hunch?

You know me. I'm all hunch. But I bet anything I'm right.

Does anyone at FAUX NEWS say anything that has a point? I'm surprised they haven't questioned if Obama wins will it still be the white house...

CitizenReserveCorps: use she was on MTV at some point, she must have some cachet with the kids. She's just another boring talk show host now. She was a pretty boring VJ as well, come to think of it.

IIRC, she was famous for being rather disliked by viewers.

"Now it's 16 years later, and those people have kids and they've been through what a cool president can get you. It's not really worth it."

Geez, i don't know whether to dive into this comment with a fork or a spoon.

Keith Olbermann keeps getting higher ratings.

If he got one viewer to watch MSNBC they should give him the whole network.

Jim_Callahan: Yeah, I guess. Argument's fallacious anyhow, Clinton won in '92 mostly because:
(1) "Read my lips: no new taxes"
(2) Ross Perot

I agree on 1) but Perot stole nearly equally from both candidates bases.
