Women are going to be the gauge during the final two months before the election. Diss them at your own peril. Okay, diss them any time during the 365 and you’re in trouble, but work with me here…
Did anyone else watch FNC’s Fox and Friends Saturday? Did you hear what I heard? Was I temporarily in some alternate universe? Were any of you as shocked as I was over Alyson Camarota’s almost non-stop belittling of Governor Sarah Palin (R-AK)?
A smart woman NOT a Fox News anchorette?
Well, we’ll just have to see about this….
Ms. Camarota droned on and on asking questions about Palin’s experience and over and over again mocked her by saying ‘she used to hunt before she went to school’ and ’she used to hunt moose and caribou before she went to school’. At Saturday’s program end, two pretty obviously leftist blogger guests were interviewed (one of whom said her mother had “dated Joe Biden”) when one of the bloggers said that Palin now had the “sympathy vote” because she was raising a Down’s syndrome child.
The bloggers, Camarota and her co-host then proceeded to laugh at this comment! In my opinion this was pretty ugly and went way beyond the pale of television commentary. Note: The laughter very plainly and succinctly indicated agreement with the Down’s syndrome comment. This was an unconscionable performance.
Sher, if Palin were blond, she’d be welcomed into her dyed-and-true blonde FNC sisterhood.
And let’s be real: the weekend B-team on the Fox News channel is pretty weak. I consistently wait (not long) for the customary Julie Banderas mispronounce. And now add to it, a Sarah Palin who makes them look like ditzes?
It wouldn’t take long for the claws to come out.
I hate the Fox & Friends weekend crew. I just can’t imagine how Fox could find a more incompetent bunch of amateurs.
Mort Kondracky (sp?) was outrageous on Hume’s show Fri night. He our Cavrilled Carville.
The only issues were hunting and a possible sympathy vote because her latest child has Down Syndrome? You’re kidding right?
