Fox News, Post react predictably to swearing-in mishap

After Justice Roberts' flub during Tuesday's inaugural swearing-in ceremony, the media exploded in supposition, prognostication, and various forms of mongering. Fox News and the NY Post, as ever, lead the pack in ridiculousness:

The New York Post offered this headline: "Roberts is the Oaf of Office."

And Fox News anchor Chris Wallace said: "We're wondering here whether or not Barack Obama in fact is the president of the United States. They had a kind of garbled oath. It's just conceivable that this will end up going to the courts."


The "Oaf" of Office? Hahaha! Another quality zinger from the people who brought us "Chuck Knobloch-head". And Chris Wallace wondering whether Obama is really the president, despite that the Oath is merely ceremony and Obama officially became president at noon without it? That is soooo Fox News. Aaaahhhh, I feel safe and secure in the knowledge that some things will never change.
