How pathetic is it that the Democrats are running from a debate
hosted by Fox News? The excuse --
an extremely mild joke by Roger Ailes based on an Obama-Osama
pun (it was not "comparing Obama to bin Laden," as has been
reported in some venues; if anything, it was a Bush-is-dumb joke)
-- just doesn't hold water. The Nevada Democratic Party is just
glomming onto a convenient excuse to join the Edwards-led effort to
appease the Fox-hating base. Ailes is absolutely right: "If you are afraid of
journalists, how will you face the real dangers in the world?"
