        That poor woman is clearly having a stroke and Wallace can only think of his own pleasure!

          Omigod...! I thought it was just a sinus infection!

          Interesting that Gretchen doesn't find Brad Pitt attractive enough to sit in his lap for an interview?

          But, Gretchen, what about that "sexy" Matt Brown...?

            BTW, was Steve Doocy suggesting that he would like to sit in Brad Pitt's lap...or have Brad sit in his lap?

            I got from her answer that since she doesn't think Brad Pitt is "hot", why would she even be asked if she wanted him in her lap or to be in his lap. Which is just as offensive as the Imus/Wallace bit because it seemed to imply that the question is okay if the interview-ee is thought "hot" by the interviewer = not that it is inappropriate to be objectifying someone who is (allegedly) a political/news figure (we're all going to objectify people, but most of us have the sense to keep it to ourselves or, at least - off the public airwaves...especially if we are "reporters"!!!)...but they had this fake outrage about the question and answer by Imus/Wallace.

            This from a morning news show that regularly (at least as far as I can tell from the "highlights" reels) features women in little clothing playing sports (Hooters girls, some sort of female football, etc.).

      Everyone knows that rhetoric is only allowed on F & F if Scott Brown is the subject.

      Sorry Chris, she may have to skip your show. Between not demanding Limbaugh be fired for saying retard over and over and not ever paying taxes on some of her property she's got quite a busy schedule ahead of her...

      Kilmeade: We're a news show.

      Wallace: What the heck happened to you? Have the drugs kicked in?

      That about sums it up.

      if she does show up.. she'll either pretend it was never said due to "not wanting to take him out of context".. or laugh about it and say "why do liberals get so bent out of shape about nothing?".. and of course there's the always viable. Never even bring it up strategy.. which is my guess.

      I'm sure Carlson would love to sit on Scott Brown's lap during an interview. She's probably be wearing a very revealing outfit during that interview as well.

      I think this is what Chris really had in mind.

      From the clip-Awkward! Fox & Friends crew confronts Wallace -
      Brain Kilmeade:
      Stated----- We are a News Show! I do not know anything adout this Lapdance thing! We have facts, People need to get Information!
      ... with laughter ...
      Chris Wallace asks Brain-- "What the Heck happened to you? Have the Drugs -- Unadible-"
      What Chris ask Brain sounded to me as--what the Heck happened to you? Have the Drugs not taken affect yet!"
      Have the Drugs not taken affect yet! Could explain why Kilmeade thinks Fox and Fiends is a NEWS SHOW!
      Have the Drugs not kicked in yet!

      One of the first F&F jokes that was actually funny.....but also revealing that they are opinion masquerading as news according to Kilmeade and Wallace thinks hes on drugs for remotely thinking that F&F is news. Me and my friends have definitely had this convo drunk at the bar....but it's only appropriate if you admit that you're not giving news.

      Totally awkward! That's what happens when a "news" guy from Fox tries to be funny. He fails.
