The discussion took a lascivious turn when Carlson announced that <em>&#8220;pants were not allowed on Fox &#038; Friends.&#8221;<\/em> She later chided Kilmeade saying that <em>&#8220;You always liked to be shirtless. Sometimes you actually suggested that for me.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>If that saucy exchange didn&#8217;t get blood pumping in the Viagra-stuffed Fox watchers, what came next would surely guarantee a anxious tune-in bonanza for Carlson&#8217;s debut.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Carlson:<\/strong> You never know what I\u2019m going to show up in. I\u2019m busy putting it all together and so, you know, I might forget my clothes the first day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Unfortunately for all the Fox pervs who made a point of flipping over to Fox for Carlson&#8217;s virgin outing, she showed up fully clothed and sitting behind a desk that obstructed much of the view that fans had become accustomed to on the Fox &#038; Friends furniture. Sometimes the temptation even proved too much for her co-workers.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/FoxNews\/gretchen-hubba.jpg\" alt=\"Gretchen Carlson\" \/><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/News-Corpse\/117899091558228?v=wall\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Like me on Facebook\">Be Sure To \u201cLIKE\u201d News Corpse On Facebook<\/a><\/center><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>As for the program itself, Carlson managed to book both Donald Trump and Sarah Palin to spice up the first day. Needless to say, her guests insured that the program would have the same low standards for substance, depth, and newsworthiness that she demonstrated on her old show. Trump pretended that he would be able to negotiate a solution to the shutdown crisis, but offered no specifics on how. Palin unleashed her patented word-salad jumble of incoherence that was peppered with insults to the President and anyone else with whom she disagrees.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/cm?t=newscorpsecom-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=12&#038;l=ur1&#038;category=primelife&#038;banner=01NN5RNXP9Q9P6PS2PG2&#038;f=ifr\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" scrolling=\"no\" border=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>Carlson herself proved that she does not have the intellectual foundation to host an alleged <em>&#8220;news&#8221;<\/em> broadcast. In a discussion about the Justice Department&#8217;s announcement that they are suing the state of North Carolina for voter suppression, Carlson was stunned to learn that the state had a voter fraud rate of about .00174 percent. She further dismissed the notion that any other state&#8217;s rate would be so low. Of course the truth is that North Carolina&#8217;s rate is not the least bit extraordinary, as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mediamatters.org\/blog\/2013\/09\/30\/foxs-carlson-astonished-by-north-carolinas-typi\/196170\" target=\"_blank\">documented<\/a> by Media Matters. Voter fraud is extremely rare in the United States, despite the right&#8217;s attempt to artificially inflate the issue as some sort of epidemic.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has had a great deal of success parading a bevy of blonde hosts and contributors who have no journalism credentials whatsoever.
