As many of us lament the naming of David Gregory to the NBC Meet the Press post, we can at least rejoice that icky-creepy Bret Baier will be around to fill The Ol' Bloodhound's shoes. Yes, Bret Baier (who reminds me of the type of Catholic boy who always tried to stand a little too close to you in the high school cafeteria line) is going to perpetuate the scandal-fomenting program that is the Special Report on Fox News. Well, I guess they couldn't call it the "Everyday Report."

You may recall he is the man who is trying to help Dubya frame his magnificent presidency by equating him to Abraham Lincoln. Except he doesn't seem to know that Lincoln was assasinated.

Here's a little interview with Bret that's sure to help you see the real intellect that is about to be thrust upon an unsuspecting Fox audience. (Oh hell, they won't know the difference anyway.)

Doesn't he favor George Bush? Slack jawed, hunkered down, vacant-eyed? And of course the attempt to potray himself as part-Southern.  A fitting replacement for Brit....Bret.
