Former Clinton flack joins Rove at Fox News

Howard Wolfson, who since last year had spent his days undercutting Barack Obama as Hillary Clinton's communications director, will start this week as a political analyst for the Fox News network, according to several reports.

Wolfson told the New York Times that Fox's coverage of the Democratic primary was "fair and evenhanded." Much of the Clinton campaign came to favor Fox toward the end of the campaign in the face of what they saw as a pro-Obama bent from the rest of the networks. (For example, unlike, say, CNN or MSNBC, Fox gleefully spread the rumor that Obama was educated in a Madrassa, referred to his fist bump as a "terrorist fist jab," implied his wife was an unwed mother and hosted a guest who joked about killing Obama.)


Why am I not surprised???
