Annals of Irony

Headline from the LAT:
Hume tires of 'bitter' politics 'This stuff exhausts me,' the Fox newsman says of all the rancor as he prepares for semi-retirement.
Brit Hume, you shar-pei from hell, the very first thing you could do would be to push "Psychiatrist, heal thyself" poster boy Charles Krauthammer off your set & tell him to keep on going. Then never have Wiliiam Kristol on again. That'll cut down the "bitter" & the "rancor" considerably.

Hume is more circumspect about other aspects of the network's coverage, such as the hour that commentator Sean Hannity gave earlier this month to Obama critics such as Andy Martin, a self-styled Internet columnist with a history of anti-Jewish comments. The anchor demurred when asked his opinion of the program, saying he hadn't seen it, though he added that he wouldn't have had Martin on his program.

As he prepares to anchor his last presidential campaign, Hume said he's eager to immerse himself in a more spiritual life after dwelling for so long in the secular. The anchor described himself as a "nominal Christian" until 10 years ago, when his son Sandy committed suicide at age 28. I feel like I was really kind of saved when my son died by faith and by the grace of God, and that's very much on my consciousness," said Hume, who plans to get more involved in his wife's Bible study group.

Ah yes, the man of gawd who flees to the safety of Jeezis, when the shit hits the fan. Do you wonder what Brit did to his son to make him kill himself? We sure do.
