What do Solyndra, the BP oil spill, leaks to The New York Times, and now Fast and Furious all have in common? As Jon Stewart notes on last night's Daily Show, they're all Obama's personal Watergates, at least as far as Fox News is concerned. Once again compiling the latest bits of trumped up scandal from Roger Ailes and co., Stewart says, "That's a record number of Watergates, passing the previous Watergate record-holder, one Richard Nixon, with one,"

He goes on: "See the problem here is that you've become the Fox who cries wolf. Your outrage repertoire had been so over used as to render justified outrage meaningless."
