In the context of criticizing Hillary Clinton's gaffe about Robert Kennedy's assassination, Fox News commentator Liz Trotta refers to Barack Obama as"Osama" and, then, corrects herself, laughs and suggests that they should both be killed.

The full three minute interview is here. There is no excuse for this in American journalism. See: Jeff Feldman's"FOX Pundit Wishes for Obama Assassination, Laughs," Huffington Post, 25 May; and Josh Marshall,"Beyond Belief," TPM, 25 May.
Update: Trotta has apologized.

Miss Trotta is an idiot. How much money does she make for spewing out this kind of garbage? It's a good thing that we value the intellectual life in America. - TL
