Last night Jon Stewart showed how Carlson cashed in her multiple degrees from prestigious colleges and her love of the arts to play the dumb blonde(not Doocy - the other dumb blonde) on Fox news Fox & Friends

2. When she

quits showing how dumb she is, I might agree with that.

[Johonny]

14. I agree

she's well educated but perhaps she really is a sap? I don't know. Probably J Stew is right on this and she is playing to the audience, but the evidence in favor of it seems lacking to me atm.

3. Oh snap...

That was hilarious.

[Bigmack]

7. There must be a term beyond "snap"...

for what Jon did to her last night.

I grew up in Detroit with lots of guys who could snap with the best of them, but Jon burned her to the ground! That wasn't just a clever reposte...it was a long, slow, high-temperature burn.

What a (no gender slam intended) douchebag!

4. Got her.....

5. My favorite part was when he said

"Just because you're on TV with Jack and Janet doesn't mean you have to act like Chrissy." :rofl:

6. I wonder what Mikas' educational background is.

off to check

8. So paper on the wall...

Means that a person is smart?
I could not disagree more. Education is only what you make of it. I have worked with many an idiot with college degrees. My wife, who has no degree, is currently managing a woman in the IT field who has an applicable masters degree and has absolutely no understanding of how to do the work. I think we all could use common sense and an open mind a lto more than a college degree. I'm not saying that college is bad, only that a degree does not make a person capable any more than a lack of degrees makes a person unintelligent.

9. Respectfully, I think you missed the point.

Jon wasn't making fun of her for her advanced education.

He was making fun of her for pretending she's dumb and doesn't have all that fancy book learnin'. He's making fun of her for pretending to be as dumb as her audience (purportedly) as a way to connect with them.

11. Exactly. nt

20. Mika does this, too. I think it's an affectation in order to

appear more "real" and authentic, like their hero: Sarah.

Thanks goodness Tina and Katrina don't feel the need to abase themselves in this way.
or Rachel, of course.

12. Oxford educated

and pretends not to know what a Czar is...

Get it???

Oh never mind.

[Lex]

10. Women who intentionally "play dumb" that way really piss me off. nt

13. Had to watch it this morning before I left for work

Thought I dreamed it.

15. so in other words...

she traded in her brains for being a corporate shill. Doesn't sound to bright to me, she just sounds like someone who is either greedy, loves to follow the party line, or just doesn't have an ounce of integrity.

Smarts on paper sometimes only works as well as communism. It works well on paper.
