      Kilmead, a/k/a Doofus is making a fool out of himself again.
      When will he learn that being the Dumbist is not the way to Win?
      Brian is a lucky Man because he gets to work in his "I'm an idiot" Confort Zone.
      Why don't you do the world a favor Kilmeade and turn off your Micro-Phone?

      Speak truth to power.

        I can just picture little Kilmeade, sitting "Indian style" in the middle of the table, playing with the pencils, at the Fox board meetings, Uncle Goofy lets him attend.

      It is called "Indian style". Racists who try their darndest to be politically correct often let their true colors shine through with their attempt to belittle political correctness. I don't think the term is racist or politically incorrect, in fact, some claim it is from India not American Indians.

        I'm part American Indian, born and raised on an American Indian Reservation and I would wager, that it comes from, where ever there's no furniture. What I found insulting, is what you pointed out, his attempt to belittle political correctness.

          You are probably right. I heard it meant to sit on earth and Indians were on with Earth so they did not use furniture. His snicker about "Native American style" was a slap at other people's feelings. Regardless of your own opionions, being politically correct is about other people and it is not so hard to go around in life attempting not to be insulting.

            I have never thought of it as an inherited gene or anything lol. I just know that if I have to sit on the ground or floor for very long, Indian style, is the most comfortable. I don't care what it's called.

            I don't think Kilmeade purposely intends to be insulting. He is just a very stupid person.

      The cross-legged position involves both feet bent inwards and under the body, crossing each other at the ankle, with both ankles on the floor. The position is known in several European languages as tailor style, from the traditional working posture of tailors;[2] compare tailor's bunion. It is also named after various plains-dwelling nomads: in English Indian style, in many European languages "Turkish style", and in Japanese agura (胡座, The sitting style of non-Han ethnics (particularly Turks, Mongols and other Central Asians.?). In yoga it is known as sukhasana.

        Right and it just happens to be the most comfortable position, if you have to sit on the floor or ground for very long. Maybe a lot of people have never had to do that. Come to think of it "Indian style" is catchier or simpler than "cross-legged position."

      Some mildly positive news...

      Since this idiocy is on cable, it's not broadcast out into space where other life forms will eventually see it.
