Ron Paul, crazy like a Fox News.

Aka John 3:16 lives aka, I report so you can deride. Yeah, politics, yawn, but this is really the first election covered by the internet to such a degree that it may not happen like this again. Facebook, Yahoo!, CNN on YouTube, Hillary virals, etc. And 2004 doesn’t really count, not as far as Gen i was concerned. Enjoy the barrage, because by 2012, we’ll be so sick of it all we’ll end up going back to the days of meeting candidates at trainstops and state fairs.

Trust me, I live near one, I’d come out for Ron Paul if it meant free corndogs.

So last night, God love him and his supporters, Mr. EVOL Paul was at it again, much to the chagrin of Fox News Channel. Paul was upset because he was kept from the New Hampshire debate on FNC Sunday night. Consequently, the NH GOP officially dropped its support for the debate. (Uh, yeah, okay, whatever. Really guys, you had free run on the CNN Debate the night before on what basically amounted to a GOP love-in, so relax. I mean really, Charlie Gibson and Britt Hume–is there really a difference between those two?)

Still, Ron got his words in edgewise: the Faux cameras had to avoid his banners in the window that showed in all those wide shots. (Sorry for the crappy image, but that was a shot of the TV taken from my laptop camera. I’ll leave pasty NH complexion jokes to the professionals.) But if you look in the window, you can see a few of the signs that were slowly on parade.
