        You're right...her eyes are scary. I don't know what it is...but there is something not right about this woman.

          Large pupils. I wonder if they dialate them to appear softer and more submissive?

            FOX technicians are working on a video version of Photo Shop to make Carlson look less crazed...and Hannity thinner. They've given up on trying to make Glenn Beck look sane. ;>)

      A primer, as in 1st grade reading level. Ok, for these three, and their viewers, it sounds about right.

      This is just too painful to watch.

      Ooooh-oooh...you know what would be another great idea? If the President addressed a joint session of Congress on national TV and explained what he's trying to achieve with health care reform, to give more details, and to clear up any misconceptions about his plan. Now that would be a great idea...

      Slightly off topic, but I just saw a report that John Stossel is joining the Professional Liars at FOX "News". Welcome home, Johnny.

        The whole Fox News organization is starting to remind me of one of those fictional criminal/spy/ out to take over the world type of group of characters- its like Lex Luther, Dr. Evil and CHAOS running a tv network- With the use of some sort of mind control device. I bet Rupert Murdoch even owns a small island somewhere

          I'm waiting for one day when all the FOX personalities rip off their masks, revealing that they are all muscle-bound, steely-eyed, square-jawed superhero warriors fighting liberalism. ;>)

      If you're not sure what the primer is, telling that to the audience is a clever way to insinuate that there is no primer. And that's the way things have been done for the GOP.

      "I'm not sure if there are parts on the bill that say there is no coverage for illegals..."

      "I'm not sure if the President has provided a birth certificate..."

      "I'm not sure if there are death panels expressed in the bill..."

      "I'm not sure..."

      GOP: The Party of No becomes the Party of "I Don't Know".

        Sorta reminds me of the Bush Administration's, "I don't think anybody foresaw . . . "

        For a supposed "news channel," they sure aren't sure of much . . .

      Fox News in the Morning is "news you can't use." These two men and Lady haven't even been able to get a unique forum to deliver the news. This show is stupid and an attempt to fit in to the burgeois cascade of other networks. I think that the only reason the show is on is because the young lady stole the look of Barbara Walters (in her youth) and the two men seem gay (and promote fashion). THIS SHOW IS ONLY ENTERTAINMENT MORNING BROADCASTING.

      Fox & Friends' Carlson's "good suggestion" for "one-page primer" ignores Obama's existing health care "primer"



      Well, if Gretchen's facial expression in the above screencap is any indication, I'd say the fact that Obama's health care primer is longer than one page is likely the problem . . .

      If she doesn't understand the proposals and what is in the bill, then she should not be allowed to comment on it. Her thighs are getting a little chunky too.
