Fired!

President Bush has driven the GOP right into the gutter and it’s finally starting to show in the wingnut media. Remember when Bill O went nuts in New Hampshire when he was given the B-list treatment by Barack Obama?

In the last six months, we’ve seen:

1. Michelle Malkin fired from “The O’Reilly Factor”. (http://www.pensitoreview.com/2007/10/16/did-fox-fire-malkin/)

2. Ann Coulter’s book sales tanking (http://thinkprogress.org/2007/06/25/matthews-explains-coulter-segment-she-sells-books/) and her credit cards getting declined by Publix. (http://www.popcrunch.com/ann-coulter-credit-card-declined-publix-palm-beach/)

3. Melamine Misstatement (http://www.iamtrex.com/?p=448) fired from her job.

4. Tucker Carlson tossed out (http://www.iamtrex.com/?p=479) on his amply padded backside.
