FOX News Twitter Hacked – Announces Death of President Obama - Photo

Boy, when people say FOX News has made enemies they’re not kidding.

In what seems to be a pretty serious hack Monday morning of the news organizations twitter account @foxnewspolitics, hackers tweeted that President Barack Obama had been shot twice and killed.

The original FOX logo was altered and the text "H4CK3D BY TH3 5CR1PT K1DD3S" added.

The photo below shows the progression of the hoax, first saying the President had been assassinated by two gunshot wounds to the pelvic and neck area and bled out, and later congratulating Vice President Joe Biden in his new role as Commander in Chief.

The hackers said that Obama had been shot at Ross Restaurant in Iowa while on a campaign function, and later tweeted condolences to the country for the assassination that occurred on the fourth of July Holiday.

FOX later responded with a news release indicating they were aware of the problem saying,

“Fox News Twitter feed for political news was hacked early Monday morning.

Hackers sent out several malicious and false tweets claiming that President Obama had been assassinated. Those reports are incorrect, of course, and the president is spending the July 4 holiday with his family.

The hacking is being investigated, and FoxNews.com regrets any distress the false tweets may have created.”

We can only imagine the initial panic people felt after seeing the original comments and there was, indeed, quite a stir when this news broke.

Note to hackers:

Next time, please try to hack into Sarah Palins account – she needs to be knocked down a couple pegs.

Saturday Morning Miscellany - Of Set Ups and Shenanigans

Well we all know by now why this man is smiling

As he should be now that his accuser, the African immigrant chamber maid,
has been found to be a liar, a money launderer and an all around salope.

A month or so ago I was told by my French Connection,
who knows all about these kind of things,
that the rape accusation was a set up by Sarkozy's people to put DSK out of the running.
The report that I read involved a cozy relationship between a New York Police commissioner and Sarkozy. It was too convoluted for me to believe, but at this point who knows the truth, I certainly don't.
Maybe it was a political set up or maybe it was just the criminal maid acting on her own to try to extort DSK at any rate his DNA was found and he was up to some sort of sexual shenanigans with the maid.

DSK had his defenders right from the beginning, his wife Anne Sinclair first and foremost.

And of course  BHL, who leaped into the defense of his accused friend, now has the last word to say on the subject with this article from The Daily Beast.

End of the DSK Affair
The Dominique Strauss-Kahn affair isn't over. And won't be until his honor is restored. Bernard-Henri Levy on the lessons of the case.

Certainly his honor and reputation will be restored...as will his amour-propre.
But is it truly too late for the Presidency?

Help Stephen Colbert Turn His ‘ColbertPAC’ Into a ‘Super PAC’

The time is at hand my friends.

Here is our opportunity to propel Stephen Colbert into the annals of the American political system.

Allow him to wield the mighty sword of capitalism in an attempt to influence the very survival of the most tested politicians - in a way that only Colbert knows how to do.

And just how does he plan to do it? He doesn’t know yet.

Who is he going to try and influence? He doesn’t know yet.

But he does know that it he can create a PAC (Political Action Committee) to raise free money, he will use its power for the good of our great country.

But suddenly, big corporate America stepped in and said he couldn’t do it. They said no to his dreams.

But it is not over yet.

Jay the Intern's pony is rested, watered and ready to take Steven's super PAC forms to Washington, D.C.
