Not-so Special Report w/ Brit Hume What is a hedge fund? If you're like me, you don't really know, but fret not. Our good friends at Fox NEWS have the answer, and like always they're more than happy to share.
According to Fox NEWS blowhard and smug bastard Brit Hume (Related) , hedge funds are group investments that are not as tightly regulated as traditional mutual funds. Sound ominous? But wait, there's more. Multimillionaire Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards actually worked for one of these -- the bastard! How dare he! That two-faced hypocrite worked for a hedge fund! Oh, the humanity!
Hedge funds -- and doesn't the name sound ominous and suspect, too? Hedge fund? Not like a retirement fund, or an emergency fund, but a shady hedge fund.
Hume's daily attack on Democrats today targeted Edwards for admitting to work for one of these shady, sneaky, unpredictable hedge funds to learn how financial markets relate to poverty. "It was primarily to learn," Edwards said, "but making money was a good thing, too."
Did John Edwards say or do something wrong? Because clearly Brit Hume thinks so and is implying it in his commentary. What did Edwards do wrong? Hume doesn't tell us what kind of work the Fortress Investment Group that Edwards says he worked for does. He doesn't tell us the kinds of people who invest in the fund. If there's something improper about Fortress Investment Group, then I'd like to see the kind of people who own that fund. God forbid any are good upstanding Republicans.
Hume also hasn't shown if Edwards has been something other than truthful. He implies it, but he doesn't know, does he?
These days, it seems like all it takes to smear someone is the implication of impropriety. Whatever happened to reason? Paul Wolfowitz was not only accused of helping his girlfriend get a pay raise and a better job where he works at the World Bank, he was CONCLUDED to have acted improperly by his employer. Edwards is being tried and found guilty by Brit Hume, and people like him, who don't have all the facts, don't care about the facts in this case, don't know John Edwards from dirt, and ultimately don't like or trust him simply because he's a Democrat.

As much as I loathe Brit Hume, O'Reilly and most all of the columnists at Fox News, we ought to call out anyone who tries to imply wrongdoing without having the facts to back it up.
The left wing does it an awful lot too, saying someone like Bush knew this or that, but when it really comes down to it they have no clue what Bush knew. Seriously, if we're talking about Bush, it's a safe bet he didn't know whatever it is we'd be talking about because the man can barely find his @ss with both hands.
