Q: What's more fun than taking a transcript from an interview and adding certain words and phrases to make it funny?
A: Getting someone to believe it and repeat it on the air!
Pat Robertson was "absolutely appalled" by some comments that Barbara Boxer NEVER MADE.
Someone from RadioBlogger, who, by the way, seems to be your typical ultra-right-wing blogger who buys whatever the President and his Republicans are selling, took the transcript of an interview between CNN's Wolf Blitzer and Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and offered to "translate Boxer's answer[s]" as he typed the interview, putting his additions in bold print so that it would at least be easily recognized, even by Pat Robertson.
And Robertson takes this blatantly altered interview, more specifically the parts in the bold print(!), and repeats it on the Fox "News" show "Hannity and Colmes," saying how he was just "absolutely appalled."
So right-winger Pat Robertson was fooled by a right-wing "Radioblogger."
Is this poetic justice, or just simple and comedic irony?
Be sure to read the Radioblogger piece (of crap) here, and read what Pat Robertson said here.
