'Fox And Friends' Attacks NBC's Sandy Benefit Concert: 'Is It A Concert For Obama?'

"Fox and Friends" questioned NBC's upcoming fundraiser for Hurricane Sandy on Friday morning, wondering aloud whether it was putting the event on merely to help President Obama.

The benefit, "Hurricane Sandy: Coming Together," will air on Friday night, and features performances by Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Christina Aguilera and Billy Joel, among others. The televised benefit concert has become a staple of post-disaster relief efforts. But "Fox and Friends" smelled a rat, since the concert is airing so close to the presidential election.

"Good intention, raise some money for victims, but the timing is more than suspect," guest host Eric Bolling said. "Is this more political? Is this more, let's get this thing on TV before the election to help President Obama look more presidential? Or is it more to help out victims?"

"It does look like they're trying to squeeze it in," Steve Doocy agreed. He then noted that Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen are avowed Obama supporters (they are also New Jersey musical icons, of course).

How do they sleep at night with all the boogy men they see roaming around in the empty space between their ears?

John Rich to stagger onstage and mangle some patriotic songs and throw up on the crowd. Now it's bipartisan!

thereby negating the whole fundraising angle. SORRY if the President attracts talented people that America wants to hear. Kid Rock and Meat Loaf just don't cut it... Though I thought Pat Boone might be available. lol

Are they suspicious that this storm was created by Obama to help him win the election?

14. Fox & Friends is the single dumbest show on TV. And I say that without hyperbole.

Really - even when Jon Stewart shows clips from that piece of shit I can feel my IQ drop a few points.
