Fox News host Eric Bolling

Now that Glenn Beck’s show is no longer on Fox News, many people may think that the ratio of hot air to facts would improve, but the show that filled Beck’s time slot shall prove differently. Fox News host Eric Bolling who appeared on Beck’s replacement show, “The Five,” along with a panel including former Bush spokeswoman Dana Perino, made in incredible announcement, similar to Rudy Giuliani’s claim that, “we had no domestic attacks under Bush.”

BOLLING: America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008. I don’t remember any attacks on American soil during that period of time.

Of course, there was that thing that happened in New York on September 11th, 2001, which was during Bush’s first term as President. It was only one of the largest attacks on American soil in U.S. history. It’s a simple thing to overlook.

Someone had to have corrected him on the show, right? Wrong.

Not even Dana Perino uttered a peep. But, really, who would expect her to? (See GOP Connections)

White House Press Secretary under George W. Bush and current Fox News contributor Dana Perino needs a history lesson on 9/11. While trying to classify the Ft. Hood shooting as a terrorist attack, Perino makes the crazy assertion that “we did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush’s term.”

With the new “zero tolerance” policy for errors, Sean Hannity surely corrected Perino, right? Wrong.

PERINO: And we had a terrorist attack on our country. And we should call it what it is. Because we need to face up to it so that we can prevent it from happening again.

HANNITY: I agree with you. And why won’t they say what you just so simply said?

PERINO: They want to do all of their investigations. I don’t know. All of the thinking that goes into it. But we did not have a terrorist attack on our country during President Bush’s term. I hope they’re not looking at this politically. I do think we ought it to the American people to call it what it is.

Fox News contributor Dana Perino, who is the former White House press secretary under President George W. Bush, had this to say about her time serving Bush and their treatment of NBC:

PERINO: I could have taken that tack, but I thought it was not the right thing to do and I think it’s mostly because it’s really unproductive, it feels un-American, and it’s not inspiring.

However, history tells a different story:

In a May 20, 2008, press briefing, when asked about “the back-and-forth between you guys and NBC News,” and a letter sent by then-White House counselor Ed Gillespie to NBC alleging the network had “deceptively edited” an interview with Bush, Perino stated, “The reason that we sent the letter yesterday is because we had gotten fed up with the way that the President’s policies are being mischaracterized.” She added, “We had complained before. And it just reached a boiling point when things had boiled over when we believed that NBC News specifically edited out — intentionally edited out — something that the President said in response to a question in an interview regarding Iran, and that it mischaracterized the whole interview because of it.”

Original Story

Former MSNBC conservative political pundit, Tucker Carlson, and White House Press Secretary under George W. Bush, Dana Perino, have both joined Fox News as contributors.

Last year, Carlson’s show on MSNBC was canceled and he has since contributed to The Daily Beast. He was once quoted as saying, “I must say, though, that most of the hate I run across these days seems to be coming from the left.” Asked if he’d follow Hannity and offer to be waterboarded, he responded, “No thanks, though if you ever catch me plotting to blow up buildings in this country, be my guest. I promise I won’t whine about it.”

In 2007, Perino told reporters, “U.S. policy is not to torture — and we do not” as well as this: “Regardless of where we are, we do not torture anybody, but getting information from them is critically important to protecting this country.”

They’ll fit right in…
