“The fact that Biden was doing even as well as he did until the very end, is a testament to the fact that Donald Trump has a very hard, solid base of support, but it never gets above about 40 to 45 percent, maybe a little more at best. So, his weakness is the predicate for our politics going back …

“Loose talk about possibly not backing our NATO allies in the event of an attack from an enemy, particularly including Russia, is not helpful. And the one thing that the war in Ukraine has done is brought NATO closer together, to strengthen NATO’s hand, it’s gotten more members into NATO, the alliance now stands at a moment of greater strength …

“Given the world situation we face now, with threats coming from multiple directions, climate change is a distraction. Climate change — worrying about climate change is almost a luxury. These are old fashioned threats that come from, you know, world powers that wish us ill. And, you know, China may say “We’ll be competitors and we won’t be adversaries,” or …

“I think it may be remembered as one of the best, if not the best, speeches of his presidency. He was firm, he was unequivocal, he was strong, as he has been particularly in recent days before he went to Israel and while he was over there. “I was struck by the fact that he spent as much time as …

“Look, political campaigns are about extravagant claims. They’re always filled with all kinds of exaggeration and overstatement, and they always have been. People understand that. “And look, and if you have good reporters that are out there and responding to this sort of thing, some claim of victory when it’s not yet established is going to get jumped on immediately …

“I think he’s in a place where the only thing that might save him would be a performance or several performances by Joe Biden in which his senility — which I think is been obvious to careful watchers for some time — becomes utterly obvious and people begin to say, ‘Wait a minute, we really can’t have this guy in …

“Look, haven’t the medical authorities been telling us all this time that to avoid infection you stay a certain distance apart and you wear masks and even in certain circumstances you might have a partition that separates you from others, and that way you can get on with life. “There’s a real need in this country to get on with …

“I suspect that the president will do his best to try to get Biden off his game and rattle him, and hope that the confusion that senile people often experience will come into play. “But I don’t think that can be counted on, and I’m not sure it was at all wise for the president to talk, as he did …

The Washington Post reports: Hours after President Trump was spotted Monday partaking in public Memorial Day remembrances without a face mask, he hopped on Twitter to retweet a Fox News commentator criticizing former vice president Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, for wearing one. “This might help explain why Trump doesn’t like to wear a mask in public,” Brit Hume, …

Mediaite reports: Fox News analyst Brit Hume raised eyebrows Thursday by circulating a Twitter thread — from a user who self-describes as an “extreme salesman” — claiming New York has “inflated” its death toll from the coronavirus. Adam Townsend, who bills himself on Twitter as an “Investor” and “Extreme salesman,” started his thread by calling attention to the number of …

Fox News reports: Mayor Pete Buttigieg is the “most impressive… candidate” in terms of political talent in the current 2020 Democratic presidential field, Brit Hume said, comparing the South Bend, Ind. mayor’s rise in popularity to the “emergence of Barack Obama.” “I think Pete Buttigieg is the most impressive, by far, candidate in terms of just raw political talent in …

The Hill reports: Fox News analyst Brit Hume took a swipe at President Trump over his tweet offering condolences to the family of GOP Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), who died Saturday at the age of 81. Hume pointed out that Trump’s tweet avoided praising McCain himself, setting it vastly apart from the dozens of tributes to the late senator posted …

The Daily Beast reports: Fox News political analyst Brit Hume late Tuesday offered reassurances on Twitter that he is not “having fantasies about Trump’s penis” in a heated debate about the president’s recent physical exam. Hume was in the midst of defending President Trump against claims of a major discrepancy in his physical exam, the details of which were revealed …

Gawker is reporting on explosive speculation from the Miami Herald that has apparently been a decade-long rumor in the DC press corps, even though it’s not seen much print. The rumor, in brief, is as follows: In the summer of 1997, the Hill’s Sandy Hume—the then-28-year-old son of Fox News’ Brit Hume—broke a blockbuster story about four GOP congressman who …

In addition to being a terrorist, apparently I’m also a sexual anarchist, whatever that is. This, according to Liberty Counsel’s Matt Barber, who is continuing his campaign of excising JMG comments whenever he thinks they suit his Christofascist means. From his column about the public’s reaction to Fox News anchor Brit Hume calling on Tiger Woods to convert to Christianity: …

Dan Savage appeared on Keith Olbermann’s show last night to rebut Fox anchor Brit Hume’s claim that if Tiger Woods had only been a Christian, he wouldn’t be the cheating pussy hound that he is. Classic Dan Savage.

Brit Hume says that Tiger Woods wouldn’t have been cheating if he’d just been a Christian. Like non-adulterous Christians such as Newt Gingrich, Rudy Giuliani, Tom DeLay, Sen. John Ensign, Gov. Mark Sanford, Ted Haggard, etc, etc, etc, etc.

Not in those exact words, but O’Reilly and Brit Hume say that since “America is overwhelmingly white,” of course there were very few non-whites at Saturday’s teabagger event.
