I watched Fox News for five hours last night

As Obama's victory became undeniable, Brit Hume moved beyond grief and anger with Karl Rove. And Juan Williams justified his existence.

    Funny stuff, O'Hehir

    I watched the returns at the gym, and they didn't have Fox News on. I found myself wondering what the tone was over there; and imagined Leonard Cohen scoring a Bergman movie.

    Yet, was it not, perhaps, MSNBC that was delivering evil

    with a capital "E?" Listening to Chris Matthews drone on and

    on about the final, blessed relief to grotesque Bush Presidency

    he fought so hard to bring about was sickening in it's own

    specail way.

    No matter, I suppose. For all the bathos, Black People

    really did save the country last night.
