This is an important point at the center of the brouhaha over the republican partisan nature of Faux News:
[T]he money people are noticing the animosity against Fox News, and realizing that the Fox News brand isn’t necessarily something their clients should want to be associated with.
The corporate world is cautious about politics, and they don’t like to get in the middle of political spats. They prefer their politics quiet and out of site. It’s probably just better for them to put their ads on CNN and MSNBC, and leave Fox News for the penis pills and the like.

Via Crooks and Liars, after the Democratic Party take over of Congress after the 2006 elections it looks like Bush’s White House may finally be held in check:
“What you have here is a White House that has become an accountability free zone that is now facing the reality of checks and balances from Congress. For six years President Bush got pretty much whatever he wanted from a Republican-controlled rubber stamp Congress that refused to exercise any oversight of the Executive branch of government. Well, mercifully, that party appears to be over.”

I specially love hearing the phrase when delivered to conservative blowhards. Here’s Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright delivering a much deserved "Bless your heart" to über-conservative Sean Hannity of Faux News:
