ITEM [via [profile] dinopollard, and you've probably all seen this, but just in case]: Fox News' Megyn Kelly analyzes the DNC Michelle Obama speech, and the line "The world as it is just won't do" thusly:

“Do you think that, you know, her saying that she loves America, that she loves this country, is going to do it for those who questioned her patriotism? Because she said something -- what she said was, and I wrote it down, was, "The world as it is just won't do." If you replace "world" with "country," you're back to the same debate, arguably, that you have been having about Michelle Obama's feelings about this country. Did she give her critics any fodder with that comment?”

So ................................... basically she’s suggesting that if you replace key words of the speech with other words, then the speech would come across as anti-American.

Wait, this was a Internet meme, wasn’t it?

You know, even for Fox – home of the terror fist jab – this is just weird. The term “grasping at straws” comes to mind. But then I think the GOP passed that point when they started saying Obama was unqualified to be president because he would get the most votes.

No more pants do you require,

Once this election is over, the Obamas should sue the fucking pants off Rupert Murdoch for slander. This shit is really crossing the line.
