Zest of the Day: Allen West Joins Fox News

The biggest surprise is that this did not happen right after the election. Newscorp and Fox News have a tricky balancing act for the “fair and balanced” network. The question is whether to placate the Republican establishment typified by Karl Rove and others on the network or to play ball with the Tea Party. I sense a desire to placate the GOP establishment probably prevented this from happening soon.

    Allen West is an idiot. Still waiting for his list Dem communists in Congress so he can be sued for his McCarthyism. Maybe he’ll end up drunk, censored, and dead like McCarthy. Fox constantly sinks to all-time lows. Hitler came to power calling everyone a communist. Then he burned down the legislature and said the communists did it.

    It figures! Maybe he can accuse the President of being the Manchurian Candidate on-air???

    West belongs in an institution not in Congress.
