Greta van Susteren Sick Over Shirley Sherrod-Maxine Waters Mix-Up
During a segment about the ethics violations California Democrat Maxine Waters is accused of, “On the Record with Greta van Susteren” producers actually showed footage of another black woman in the news: Shirley Sherrod.
Fox News would like to clarify the following points.
Viewers may have gotten the impression that Rep. Charles Rangel is a pedophile. By accident, we showed a picture of Bill “Bojangles” Robinson tapdancing with Shirley Temple. Miss Temple assures the Fox audience that Mr. Robinson always knew his place.
Viewers may have gotten the impression that Rep. Maxine Waters was guilty of medical malpractice by claiming to be an obstetrician. By accident, we showed the wrong film clip. That actually was Butterfly McQueen saying “she didn’t know nothin’ about birthin’ no babies.” Olivia de Havilland assures our viewers that, to her knowledge, Miss McQueen performed no abortions on the set; but Leslie Howard certainly would have been the father.
Viewers may have gotten the impression that Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is a promiscuous slut in a Puerto Rican gang and indirectly responsible for the death of Richard Beymer. By accident, we showed the wrong film clip. That actually was Rita Moreno in “West Side Story.” However, if Sotomayor had killed Richard Beymer, we certainly wouldn’t blame her.
