Brit Hume
On Fox News, coverage of last week's terrorist bombings in London was, as you would expect, deplorable. Fox News anchors could barely contain their glee as news of the destruction filtered in. To Brit Hume, the death of dozens of Londoners meant one thing - money in the bank.
"My first thought when I heard," said Brit, live on air, "just on a personal basis, when I heard there had been this attack and I saw the futures this morning, which were really in the tank, I thought, 'Hmmm, time to buy.'"
Really? Funnily enough, my first thought when I heard what Brit Hume had to say was, "Hmmm, what an enormous asshole."
Brian Kilmeade
Then of course there was Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, who was simply delighted that stupid issues like global warming and African poverty would be pushed to the back burner at the G8 summit in Scotland.
"This is his [Tony Blair's] second address in the last hour," gushed Kilmeade. "First to the people of London, and now at the G8 summit, where their topic Number 1 - believe it or not - was global warming, the second was African aid. And that was the first time since 9-11 when they should know, and they do know now, that terrorism should be Number 1."
Well certainly, Brian, terrorism is a very important issue. But what's your personal opinion of the London attacks?
"I think that works to our advantage, in the Western world's advantage, for people to experience something like this together, just 500 miles from where the attacks have happened."
Excuse me: works to our advantage? Perhaps Brian and Brit should get together and form Enormous Assholes Anonymous.
John Gibson
Or how about Fox News anchor John Gibson, who the day before the attacks said, according to News Hounds, that "he wished Paris would have gotten the 2012 Olympics because it would have been a treat to watch them deal with terrorist threats." How nice. It always warms my heart to see a news anchor wishing a terrorist attack on someone.
So did Gibson feel any remorse for his prescient remarks when London was attacked just one day later? Not a chance.
"If they had picked France instead of London to hold the Olympics," said he, "it would have been the one time we could look forward to where we didn't worry about terrorism. They'd blow up Paris, and who cares?" Yeah, what a bummer. The terrorist attacks didn't happen in France. Oh well, better luck next time, eh. By the way John, there's a new organization you might be interested in called "Enormous Assholes Anonymous." I think you'd be a perfect fit.
