Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) joked Wednesday night that the Fox News Channel can’t seem to reconcile their dislike for President Barack Obama with their support for his military intervention in Libya.

“There’s a big debate going on over at Fox News,” Paul said at the Congressional Correspondents Dinner. “It’s really messed up, I mean they don’t know what to do. They just really can’t decide over at Fox News what they love more, bombing the Middle East or bashing the president.”
