Fox News is desperate. For relevance, for catchy primetime dramas, for attention, for any good news in a new Democratic era. And it shows. Per Fox News:
Obama’s Cabinet Selections Leave Kerry Out in the Cold
If John Kerry was hoping to be part of President-elect Barack Obama’s Cabinet, he’ll almost certainly have to settle for the consolation prize: a powerful chairmanship in the U.S. Senate.
[. . .] But there is reason to suspect that Kerry might have preferred a high-profile position within the Obama administration.
To say nothing of similar narratives about Hillary’s appointment, media attempts to over-dramatize the transition are beginning to verge on the ridiculous. Washington D.C., in several important ways, is not Dawson’s Creek. Can someone cut Fox a good drama so their news writers can have a meaningful outlet for their talents, other than the news ticker?
Stumble It!

Maybe they should consider bringing Firefly back.
Although on the other hand, I’m not sure I’d want to see the writers coming up with this stuff working on Firefly.

Ames, if I may say, you jumped on these kind of stories during the election….especially if they involved Sarah Palin.
I will say though that leaving Kerry out makes me respect Obama that much more.

Dawson’s Creek is so late 90s…

They do hype up the Hillary thing a lot…
They’re acting like Barack Obama just put his worst enemy into his cabinet…and seriously…they have pretty similar ideas about most things. They were in a race, they said mean things because they were in a race…it’s not that big of a deal.
