Playing off the “best picture” nominated motion picture, The Artist, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday night created its own version of the black and white silent movie – but with a twist, using video clips from NBC’s Republican presidential debate of the night before.

FNC ended Thursday’s Special Report with the pretty inventive video created by Kimmel’s staff. Bret Baier set it up by suggesting the Republican candidates “are trying a new tactic and they’re taking to heart a long ago era, a different kind of movie.”

Old silents are amusing, and the "silent treatment" (pardon the pun) is a great way to put out a piece that's whatever the viewer's mind wants it to be. This wasn't nearly the hit job we've seen before from Kimmel's gang.
