“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

FOX News silences Gore

CNN and MSNBC now have the Gore speech live. FOX News? Bill O'Rielly talking about the "shove it" incident last night. Maybe its payback for the booing.

*MORE* According to Bob Harris sitting in for Tom Tomorrow, that's not all FOX did with its first night of coverage:
Unlike the other nets giving the convention live coverage -- CNN, MSNBC, and PBS that I've been watching here -- Fox also talked through the national anthem.

Worse -- I can't believe my eyes -- unlike all of the above, plus ABC, CBS, and NBC, Fox actually talked over the Democrats' solemn remembrance of 9-11.

Because we all know that only Republicans have any right to remember 9-11.

It will be intersting to see their coverage of the Republicans next month. Maybe now that their cover is blown, they aren't worried about appearing nonpartisan anymore.
