I should not have to spend my birthday writing about this kind if disgusting FUX News swill, but such is the thin gruel of my life.
According to new reporting in Mother Jones, FUX News all purpose scumbag Fucker Carlson has taken the good burghers of East Palestine, Ohio under his wing to trumpet their plight to the dumb and the stupid. And the way he’s championing their case is by bellowing to every mental defective tuning in that none of this would be befalling them if they weren’t white!
Carlson’s latest boxcar full of bullshit isn’t just nonsensical, and it isn’t just disgusting, it’s both disingenuous as well as totally exceptive. I’ll explain.
Good luck following this logic. Carlson has a bug up his ass about Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. In his slobbering rant, Carlson accused Buttigieg of dragging his heels on aid for East Palestine because it was an overwhelmingly white community. Instead Carlson claimed that Buttigieg is instead occupied with efforts to increase job opportunities for minorities and improve roads in Philadelphia and Detroit—cities that, Carlson sneeringly mentions, “vote Democrat.”
OK, stick a pin in that one, I’ll deal with it later. But then Carlson went off on a rant intended to drive in the last coffin nail for his imbecilic audience;
“East Palestine is overwhelmingly white, and it’s politically conservative,” Carlson said during a February 14 broadcast. “That shouldn’t be relevant but as you’re about to hear, it very much is.” He added: “If this had happened to the rich or the ‘favored poor’, it would be the lead of every news channel in the world. But it happened to the poor town of East Palestine, Ohio, whose people are forgotten, and in the view of the people who lead this country, forgettable.”
This is also too stupid and frankly, racially insulting to be a complete paragraph on an allegedly legitimate news program, but let’s muddle through it. Carlson is trying to claim that because the residents of East Palestine, Ohio are majority white, as well as the death sentence, conservative, the Biden administration, through Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg are withholding aid from people who won’t vote for them anyway!
News Flash! for Fucker Carlson. Any time you want to sit down and debate the racial inequity with the way that white people are treated in natural or man made disasters, and the way that brown or black people are treated under the same circumstances, you just let me know. Anytime. Anywhere. We can always discuss the kind of monetary and structural and manpower aid that a largely white, conservative state like Texas following a major hurricane, and the kind of response that an island like Puerto Rico gets when a Category 5 hurricane flattens it. Yeah, Traitor Tot chucking rolls of paper towels around the room. Pick your shot pal, I’m ready.
You remember I told you a few paragraphs ago to stick a pin in Carlson’s first repulsive statement? Well, here we go, I’m Fired UP! Ready to go! Carlson blubbered out that Buttigieg was too busy creating economic and employment opportunities for minorities, and repairing roads in Democratic enclaves like Philadelphia to lift a finger to help the residents of East Palestine, Ohio.
Carlson, you stupid shit! Even if you have absolutely no journalistic integrity, and the morals of a diseased guttersnipe, can’t you at least try to keep your facts straight? You’re blaming the wrong official, moron! Economic and employment opportunities for minorities and fixing roads in Philadelphia. Those things are benefits from the new Biden Infrastructure Law! And while infrastructure is overseen by the Secretary of Transportation, in fact, Biden appointed former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu to oversee the disbursement, and monitor the proper utilization of the funds. Pete Buttigieg has nothing to do with it!
Sweet Jesus. Every time I think that FUX News, and their cadre of information and moral death eaters can’t wallow any lower into the muck, They surprise me again. Which, on my 66th birthday, has me fearing that by my 67th birthday, FUX News is going to have to look up to see the wreckage of The Titanic.
You hit that nail right on the head…disingenuous. This cynical P.O.S. KNOWS what he is vomiting it a lie. He KNOWS it was cheeto and his cabal responsible for the elimination of the regulations. He’s PAID to LIE and rile up the mouth breathers. He and Fux are cancers on this Society, bought and paid for by the dark conservative money. They are cogs in the deliberate destruction of our Democracy so the rubes will openly, willingly embrace fascism as “only WE can fix it!”. Happy birthday, BTW!
Happy birthday Murphy!! Wishing you at least another couple decades of gifting us with your analysis of the news.
Thanks!!! And you have my word…As long as I’m not on hospice, I’ll be plugging away…It’s a personal passioj, but just as much, it’s the connection with my readers, my best friends…
Happy birthday again, Murfster. Did Chicago and Samwise bring you a dead mouse? :))
Happy birthday, Murfster!
Don’t forget that FUX News was preoccupied covering a much bigger story that a train derailment when the Chinese balloon was overhead.
Hmm. The only thing I noticed in the story is how OHIO’S REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR isn’t being criticized for HIS refusal to issue a “disaster area” appeal which is what FEMA needs to get involved.
In fact, it’s almost like Tucker kind of “forgot” that those “white, conservative” folks in East Palestine live in a state that’s RULED by the GOP (and, that those folks most likely voted for the guy who couldn’t so much as pick up the phone to FEMA and say, “Guys, we might be dealing with a disaster area situation; I’ll get back to you in an hour or so”).
I won’t mention that Tucker chose to ignore the fact that HIS buddy–the “Savior of East Palestine”–is the one most directly responsible for the whole situation by overturning the regulations that Obama put into place.
Well, Happy Birthday! Before you mentioned your age, I was going to ask whether you were 39 – butm at only 66, you may not be old enough to remember Jack Benny’shtick.
I would love to live long enough to see every American fascist, or every fascist, looking up to the Titanic. Bou those folks are so full of hot air – it ain’t gonna happen.

Translator is great 🙂
Happy birthday.
And the Tuck.Fuck likely only reads what others write for him, except during interviews, which is why he gets the same boggled pained look.of a constipated toddler.
Happy birthday young fella. I’m staring 70 in the face in August. Now when I listen to the Simon & Garfunkel song Old Friends, and the line ‘how terribly strange to be 70’, it takes on a new meaning it didn’t have in the early 70s. Here’s to many more.
Excellent article as usual Murphy! And Happy Belated Birthday! To me you are still young, I will be 68 in Three days 🙂 And I still find it hard to believe. But then it’s just a number! Wishing you many Happy Returns Murphy!!
