Fox News’ Shep Smith reacts to Mitt Romney’s reaction to Newt’s departure from the race the way a sane person should…

Dangerous Minds pal Taylor Jessen writes:

“A clip that needs no context, really. Soon to be a shirt, a dance remix, and possibly a new political party. Shep Smith is, for a moment, a bona fide deer in the mind-numbingest of headlights.”

Genius.
 

 
Fox News’ Shep Smith, who from time to time proves that he’s actually a sensitive, thinking human being with empathy for others (unlike the vast majority of the ideologues he works with), and Juan Williams, speak the unvarnished truth about what’s going on in Wisconsin. They actially stick up for the little guy! On Fox fucking News! For reals. You won’t believe it!

Watch this. No really, watch this. It’s not often that you’re going to hear something like this on Fox News, so savor it while you can.

“They were promised this. They worked all their lives for this.” [<--Can you imagine the hate mail Smith will get for that alone???]

"I'm not taking a side on this, I'm just telling you what's going on…to pretend this is about a fiscal crisis in the state of Wisconsin is malarkey." [<--Think he'll have an uncomfortable moment around the water cooler with Sean Hannity over letting that one slip out???]

Maybe my TV is broken or something?
