Hey, I hear ya. But I'd rather they throw the wingnuts a harmless bone like this than cave on anything substantial.

I hadn't actually seen the Fox News carping, but I read some bloggers who anticipated that they'd be doing it almost as soon as the inauguration ended.

He's the President. And not only that, he's the President because he *won*, not because he was appointed. They should move on to the acceptance phase -- this denial is getting old quick.

Steven Pinker used that same title (Oaf of Office) in this interesting NY Times article yesterday.

I noticed last night that Olbermann used it as well.
