Unsurprisingly, also-ran networks CNN and MSNBC are scoffing that VP Cheney wants his FNC when he's chilling after work. How many different ways can you channel the ole green-eyed monster? Well, Newsbusters breaks it down:
MSNBC's "The Abrams Report":
"And he wants brewed decaf coffee and all the televisions must be tuned to the home team, Fox News.
CNN reporter Carol Costello said on "American Morning":
"And, yes, all the TVs set to C -- no, to Fox News."
To which anchor Soledad O'Brien quipped, "Not really a shocker on that front."
Keith Olbermann alleged marching orders.
"And, of course, all televisions tuned to Fox News. Well, of course they'd all be tuned to Fox News because he has to make sure they're saying what he told them to say."
CNN reporter Erica Hill told Anderson Cooper:
"He wants his TV tuned to Fox News. How can he cover all the angles if he's not watching you or Prime News Tonight on 'Headline News'?"
Erica Hill, by the way, wins the 2006 Buttkiss Award for that Cooper smooch.
And ABC News' Jake Tapper mewled that the Veep is "getting in touch with his inner diva." Whatever. What all these non-FNC folks are doing is the same thing: embracing second place as the first place of losers.
