My conversation with Andrew Napolitano This morning I was doing some work and I was listening to KABC. O”Reilly’s show came on and Andrew Napolitano, a Fox News judical analyst, was guest host (click here for a bio and a photo; he looks like a real tool). The topic for the hour was former CNN head Ted Turner’s criticism of Fox News’ obvious bias--which Napolitano, not surprisingly, said didn't exist. I called in and this time (I have appeared on O’Reilly’s show before) I posed as “Floyd” from Palos Verdes (Palos Verdes has good surfing but nasty locals). Here's the transcript: NAPOLITANO: Floyd, what do you think—what do you think about Fox [News] and the manner, Floyd, in which it covered the war which just concluded? SCOOBIE: I think there was a big double standard and there was really no perspective in the way in which Fox News was really part and parcel of the attempt to silence dissent. NAPOLITANO: Wait a minute. What dissent, Floyd, did Fox silence? It didn’t silence me. It didn’t silence Bill O’Reilly. It didn’t silence those of us who have been critical of the government when we think it’s wrong. SCOOBIE: There was no objective reporting in terms of people who had reasonable beliefs that the war was wrong. The Dixie Chicks give their opinion about George W. Bush and they’re viewed as un-American and pro-Saddam and stuff like that. Let’s compare that to Fox News’ coverage in terms of Kosovo when you had Tom Delay who wanted to pull the plug on the troops—on the military budget when you had troops who were in harm’s way, nobody attacked him-- NAPOLITANO: I’m beginning to wonder, Floyd, just how much of Fox you watch. We’ve had leading Democrats—with the exception of Al Sharpton—I don’t think I’ve seen him on. We have had every declared Democratic candidate for president on Fox within the past month. We’ve had the chairman of the Democratic National Committee on. We’ve had Congresswoman Pelosi—who’s the leader of the Democrats in the House. We’ve had Congresswoman Jane Harmen, a liberal [Democrat] from California—all on the air almost every day, because fair and balanced is not just a motto, it’s the essence of what we do at Fox. Have you heard those folks? SCOOBIE: Yes, I have and I’m glad you mentioned that. Nancy Pelosi gives her opinion and you have someone like Brit Hume calling her opinion juvenile—which is his right to do [Note: Hume said this on Fox News Sunday]. But what I’m saying is don’t talk about fair and balanced to me when you have someone like Roger Ailes who heads Fox News—a man who was part of the ugly and ghoulish smear against President Clinton that he was responsible for the death of Vince Foster. [Note: click here for more info on this]. [NAPOLITANO MUTES SCOOBIE; ONCE AGAIN, WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, MUTE THE CALLER. WHAT A PUSSY!] NAPOLITANO: Roger, listen you jackass, Roger Ailes created the greatest newsgathering organization out of whole cloth and it’s crushed the liberal monolith that existed at CNN and I think you’re part of it and I think you’re bitter because of that. But thanks for calling my friend... 2010 UPDATE: Napolitano spreads the discredited Foster conspiracy theory on Fox News referring to Foster's "murder." What a douche.

William Bennett is my second least favorite self-appointed guardian of moral virtue. One mitigating factor that puts Bennett above another self-appointed virtue czar, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, is that at least with Bennett there are no nude photos taken of him by his paramour. I am very thankful for this because, by all appearances, the only sin of the flesh in which Bennett indulges involves bacon double cheeseburgers. Let’s examine the charges made in the flyer. I’ll start with number four—Bennett’s involvement with a “megalomaniac cult leader”—I was referring to none other than Sun Myung Moon. One of the things that makes Bennett a paragon of anti-virtue has been his role in the attempt by the American right to rehabilitate Sun Myung Moon---a truly evil man. I don’t put Moon in the same category as Jerry Falwell, a simple con artist and huckster. Moon is a uniquely depraved individual. That didn’t prevent Bennett from giving credibility to Moon by accepting a generous speaking fee to appear before a Moonie front group. Let’s discuss just a few of Moon’s transgressions against humanity: when he began exploiting religion in the 1950’s, he developed “purification rituals”—which conveniently involved deflowering naive young women (Ironically, the Bush regime is paying $450,000 in taxpayer money to the depraved billionaire for abstinence education). Moon hates democracy and the United States—referring to America as “the kingdom of Satan” (Bush also named Josette Shiner, a Moonie and former head of Bennett’s Empower America to the post of deputy U.S. trade representative; let me get this straight, Bennett hired someone from an America-hating cult to run his group that has the name “Empower America”?). It just isn’t the United States and American democracy that Moon hates. Click here to view Moon’s bigoted views regarding blacks, Jews, women, gays, and others he doesn’t care for. Moon made religion a billion dollar racket—exploiting thousands of young people forced to peddle flowers while posing as charity workers. Moon also participated in the illegal entry of a Korean girl into the United States to become the “wife” of Moon’s son (Moon’s “daughter-in-law,” Nansook Hong spent the next fifteen years in hellish conditions)—Let’s add conspiracies involving statutory rape, immigration fraud, kidnapping and illegal detention to the list of Moon’s crimes (Moon also served time for tax evasion). However, William Bennett and, for that matter, George W. Bush believe Moon is the type of person who deserves their support. Selective Morality. To Bennett, morality is not a matter of right versus wrong but right versus left. What makes Bennett particularly noxious is that he uses virtue and morality to club Democrats—while turning a blind eye to serious transgressions by Republicans. The 2000 campaign was a good example: Bennett joined the GOP chorus that Al Gore was a habitual liar in a Wall Street Journal column. The problem is like his fellow right-wingers, he exhibited more dishonesty than he claimed Gore exhibited. Contrast this with the discovery that George W. Bush was convicted of drunk driving and covered it up. Bennett immediately said that it would be an issue only if it was discovered that Bush lied about it. When it turned out that Bush lied about it, Bennett was silent. Bennett’s hatemongering. Bennett discussed gays and lesbians on ABC’s This Week in 1997. He claimed that gay men have a life expectancy of 43. He also made this claim in a Weekly Standard article in which, ironically, he was accusing the Clinton administration of dishonesty regarding gays and AIDS. The 43-year lifespan claim was based on hatemongering posing as research by Dr. Paul Cameron, a notorious anti-gay crackpot. Elizabeth Birch of the Human Rights Campaign wrote a letter to the editor pointing this out. Instead of retracting his claim, Bennett, in a supercilious tone, cited another researcher to back up the statistic. The problem was that the research Bennett cited was nothing more than another anti-gay polemicist who was citing Cameron’s original flawed research (click here for a comprehensive article on the controversy). So much for Mr. Virtue’s regard for truth. The war on drugs (read: the war on people who use certain types of drugs, not the types that Bennett has used) epitomizes what a heartless dick Bennett is. Bennett not only called for jail time for simple possession of weed, but he wrote an article for the Weekly Standard against medical marijuana; it was completely disingenuous. Bennett pointed out that not a single study showed the efficacy of marijuana in a medical context; what Bennett fails to point out is that the illegal status of weed prevented researchers from doing the research on its medical efficacy. One more thing, when Bennett became Drug Czar, he had to use a patch to wean himself off of nicotine. We had a Drug Czar who was also a drug addict. Such ironies is not surprising to anyone familiar with Bennett. One final irony: the paperback edition of The Death of Outrage (Bennett’s diatribe against Clinton for getting his rocks off and not wanting to tell the world about it) was released right around the same time that Newt Gingrich announced that he was trading in Wife Number Two for a younger model. Wife Number Two was a younger model Gingrich had gotten in a trade-in when he gave walking papers to Wife Number One (who had to depend on alms from her church because Gingrich cut her off financially after she helped him get elected to the House). There were no denunciations of Gingrich by the Virtue Czar, because, to paraphrase Gary Kamiya, when it comes to Republican transgressions and Democratic ones, in the exalted nostrils of St. William, only the latter stink.
