Yesterday, as pointed out by MediaMatters and MinistryofTruth, Eric Bolling, the replacement for Glenn Beck, said there were no terror attacks between 2000 and 2008. Today he "corrected" that, but really just proved he's an asshole.
He started the program with a segment on two 9/11-related issues: The downtown Islamic center know as the "Ground Zero Mosque" and that Bin Laden was planning to attack on the ten-year anniversy of 9/11.
When the faux liberal Bob Beckel brought up the question why are we talking about Bin Laden when he was killed several months ago, Dana Perino responded well there was that thing yesterday. This segment was clearly done in response to the outcry due to Bolling's failure to remember 9/11, which is even more evident by the monologue Bolling used to the end the segment.
Bolling:
Yesterday, I misspoke when I said there were no U.S. terror attacks during the Bush years. Obviously, I meant in the aftermath of 9/11, but that is when the radical liberal left pounced on us. . . and me. MediaMatters posted my error saying I forgot about 9/11. No I haven't forgotten. You see, I happened to be standing there watching in true teror as radical islamists slammed planes into the towers that morning. I remember the towers colapsing killing 3000 including 16 of my close friends. And I really remember trying to comfort the kids of my friends at their memorial services. I'll never forget 9/11, but thank you liberals for reminding me how petty you can be.What an asshole?!? He makes a mind-boggling mistake of fact and we are being petty for pointing that out?
As was pointed out yesterday by BradyB in a comment to MinistryofTruth's diary, there were terror attacks after 9/11, the anthrax attack being only a couple weeks later. So Bolling is wrong even in his corrected statement, but then again those are facts and that is not needed on Fox News
I will update with a video when I find it.
