Brit Hume, the opinionated pundit who disguises himself as a strict journalist for Fox News' masses, gets some Boston Globe loving today. And why not? Hume is, apparently, the industry's biggest romantic.

Hume, with more than eleven years at FNC, is always one to find the bright spots in his coverage!

A classic example came on Super Tuesday, when Hume replayed a portion of Barack Obama's speech as Fox's graphics crew fixed a spotlight on a woman behind the candidate. She was middle-age, white, and clearly entranced, and she inspired a snarling little tribute from Hume about the power of emotion in campaigns.

"American politics needs people like this," Hume said. "She's not just for Obama. She's enchanted by Obama. She hangs on his every word. . . . Someone who thought enough of Barack Obama to be absolutely rhapsodic about him. Wonderful stuff."

Funny, because to the best of our recollection, Hume is great at pointing out the worst in situations.
