FNC's Chris Wallace: Father Mike Wallace Has "Lost It;" Howard Dean Is "Tokyo Rose"

Regarding his father's statement that America was "[explitive'd]-up" for electing Bush:

He's lost it. The man has lost it. What can I say," the younger Wallace lamented to WRKO Boston radio host Howie Carr on Friday.

"He's 87-years old and things have set in," the Fox anchor continued. "I mean, we're going to have a competence hearing pretty soon."

Wallace Jr. quickly dispelled any notion that he was joking. When Carr suggested that his comments were likely to be covered by NewsMax, he responded: "You know what? Fine. Go ahead. Call them. That's fine. I'll stand by that."

Returning to the topic of his father's competence, Wallace Jr. explained: "He's checked out. I don't understand it," beyond the fact that Wallace Sr. has "problems with the war."

I didn't hear the interview, but I find it hard to believe he wasn't joking about getting his own dad a competency hearing. That's just not the sort of thing a son says about his dad-- at least not a good son. I think, though, he's serious about his dad "checking out" in terms of going moonbat-liberal.

I don't think there was any joking at all with regard to Howard Dean's "unwinnable war" comments:

"We are in a war. We do have 150,000-plus American soldiers over there. I mean, it's Tokyo Rose, for God sakes, going on radio saying we can't win the war."
