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?”
