Fox News Blog Edits Out Homophobic Barney Frank Joke From Transcript Of ‘Red Eye’ Host’s Monologue
In a “Greg-alogue” video posted yesterday, Greg Gutfeld, the host of Fox News’ late-night show Red Eye, launched a frivolous attack on Center for American Progress President and CEO John Podesta. “If you believe in progressive ideas, you’ll believe in anything, including alien conspiracies,” said Gutfeld.
In the course of his mocking diatribe, Gutfeld also inserted an off-color, homophobic joke about Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA):
Look, I don’t dispute that aliens exist, but there are more urgent matters to deal with, other than wrinkly creatures with a knack for anal probing.
But enough about Barney Frank. I couldn’t resist.
Perino: ‘We Did Not Torture’
The Bush administration repeatedly insists that it does not practice torture: “We do not torture,” President Bush declared in 2005. The U.S. “is not torturing any detainees,” White House Press Secretary Dana Perino said last April. Dismissing a Red Cross report describing interrogation techniques that were “tantamount to torture,” Bush proclaimed last year, “Haven’t seen it, we don’t torture.”

Yesterday, Perino took the Bush administration’s torture denials to a new level when she insisted that it had never engaged in torture:
PERINO: This president has said that we did interrogate terrorists, and we did so to protect the country from possible imminent terrorist attack. We did not torture.
