Shepard Smith Kicking Ass And Naming Names

Via Talking Points Memo:

Fox News’ Shep Smith is continuing to hammer Republican senators who wouldn’t pass the 9/11 first responders bill, this time calling out by name those who wouldn’t appear on his show to discuss the issue.

“We called a lot of Republicans today who are in office at the moment,” he said Monday afternoon. “These are the ones who told us ‘no’: Senators Alexander, Barrasso, Cornyn, Crapo, DeMint, Enzi, Grassley, Kyl, McConnell, Sessions, Baucus, Gregg, and Inhofe. No response from Bunning, Coburn, Ensign, Graham, Hatch, and McCain.”

He also reminded viewers of what happened in New Orleans. Shep, I love you.

Now pass this damn bill.

And with that, Shepard Smith becomes the first individual since Gallner (and our patron saint McLuhan, of course) to have his own category.

Shepard Smith, I think I love you.

Somehow, while I wasn’t really paying attention, Shepard Smith has turned into someone I adore. This was not always the case. I used to dislike him. Fine, I thought he was a dbag. After all, he works for Fox News, the network that has provoked uncountable eyerolls from me and I’m sure he was responsible for some of those in the past.
