The Joke the Dems Didn't Get

The Dem decision to cut-and-run from the Fox News sponsored debate in Nevada was based partly on a joke that Fox News chairman Roger Ailes told at an event Thursday night. The Dems claimed that Ailes compared Barack Obama to Osama bin Laden, and therefore in the twisted logic which substitutes for thought in a Democrat, Fox News couldn't be trusted.

So what was this grievous joke?

[I]t is true that Barack Obama is on the move. I don't know if it's true that President Bush called Musharraf and said: 'Why can't we catch this guy?'

It would be obvious to anybody with a sense of humor that this was not a joke directed at Obama, but a joke directed at President Bush. However, the Dems were so desperate to appease their wacky left base that they siezed on any excuse to get out of the debate.

Wimps.
