Quality

That's all you can say about the standards that FoxNews and Dear Leader are so clearly lacking in all their vestiges. Wow, as an interviewer Neal Cavuto could suck the chrome off a Buick. Pickles never blew Georgie so good:

Some lowlights, well selected lowlights, because its pretty much all lowlights:

CAVUTO: Speaking of civil liberties, one of your predecessors, Jimmy Carter, was very critical of our operations at Guantanamo Bay (search), saying they should be shut down, that abuses there, if proven true, are dragging our name through the mud globally. What do you make of that?

BUSH: Well, I first of all want to assure the American people that these prisoners are being treated in accordance with the Geneva Convention...
Secondly, that anytime there's an allegation of abuse, we investigate. That's what transparent societies do. We've got a press corps that's constantly asking tough questions about prisoner treatment, for example. You just asked one. And that's what open societies do, they answer the questions by saying...

Yes, maybe we should be transparent enough to allow inspection by Amnesty International?

CAVUTO: Let me ask you about the economy, sir. Almost any objective read tells you that we're still doing very, very well. Productivity is very high. Had a strong GDP report. Retail sales are very, very strong. The unemployment rate, at 5.1 percent, used to be considered full employment when Hubert Humphrey (search) was alive. Do you think you get a bum rap in the media on the economy?

Shorter Cavuto: "Oh, cum on my face Mr. President, right into my gaping maw!"

Sorry, that was rude, well not rude, but crass.

CAVUTO: You know, a lot of economists agree with that, Mr. President. Do you think, though, that the public in this country has been distracted by other events? Even Representative Conyers, a Democrat, not exactly a fan of yours, has said that the media is fixated on things like Michael Jackson. Do you think that's true?

"Yes, right on the face."
