The Fox talking heads were clearly agitated by the fact that the bill had passed, and they even went after Joe Biden in a big way for telling Obama that "This is a big fucking deal" when the President and Vice-President were too close to an open microphone. The funny part was that at least two of Fox's "guest" commentators thought it was a great moment, and I agreed with them.
In fact, Biden's "F Bomb" was my favorite part of the whole process. Even my Mom thought it was kicked ass, despite the fact that the word in question is not one of her favorites (and, to be fair and balanced, I'm pretty sure she didn't use the phrase "kick ass" to describe it).
But Fox just can't let this one go:
Fox News, which went bonkers over the “F-bomb” that Joe Biden dropped at the health care signing ceremony, has now done a poll to see if their flood-the-zone coverage of that very consequential moment has had an impact.It was a great moment, Fox. Deal with it.
The answer is Not So Much, according to the poll’s internals:
As you may have heard, Vice President Joe Biden used foul language to describe how important he thought passage of the new health care bill was when he whispered to President Obama “this is a big expletive deal” — do you think the vice president’s use of foul language to describe the bill was offensive, or not?
Yes, offensive: 37%
No, not offensive: 57%
