apoplectic

Heh, if you think that the new of Sarah Palin being selected as VP makes the blood boil on the left, wait till you read this news:

LONDON — Rupert Murdoch is considering an acquisition of The New York Times , according to a report by Vanity Fair’s Michael Wolff, who wrote a profile and interviewed the News Corp. chairman and chief executive. Wolff speaks of watching Murdoch "go through the numbers, plot out a merger with the Journal’s backroom operations, and fantasize about the staff’s quitting en masse as soon as he entered the sacred temple." The article doesn’t directly quote Murdoch on his reported interest. There would be clear regulatory obstacles to a New York Times acquisition in addition to a likely reticence on the Sulzberger family to sell to him. News Corp. also owns MarketWatch, the publisher of this report.

Can you imagine?  FoxNews owner Rupert Murdoch buying the New York Times, a heavily left leaning newspaper?

That would be… awesome.
