Why does Fox News hate our troops?

Fox News pontificator Brit Hume (he of the arrogant, pseudo-patrician manner) expressed concern this morning about the Waltergate scandal, but not out of compassion for the wounded troops.

No, Hume is mainly worried about how the scandal reflects poorly on the Bush administration. He also figures that the administration would not have fired some of the brass hats at Walter Reed were it not for the fact that those pesky Democrats now control Congress.

Indeed, Hume seems to regret that the administration held anybody accountable in this matter.

Said he: “This is an administration which is known or had been known for sticking by people even when they were embattled.”

It's all politics to Hume. To hell with the troops.
