Open Center Square

As Fox & Friends Weekend viewers know, the co-host cast is temp to the extreme. When I returned from a trip to listen anew to last Saturday’s show, I found a somewhat interesting exchange at the earliest part of that program.

Megan Henderson said, “Who is that in the center square?” Greg Kelly responded, “Megan Kelly Henderson.” Clayton Morris chimed, “Greg and I called, Greg and I commisserated midweek, and we said, ‘Get that Megan up here.’” Greg added, “Megan, we take whoever they’ll give us but we are privileged that it was you.”

Obviously, the middle square, at least, is still open. Ainsley Earhardt, an innocent and sugary Southern belle, seemed to be developing somewhat a rapport with Clayton, an unctous Eastern seaboarder, and Greg Kelly, an awkward New York G.I., and the stereotypical California sexy surfer news reader girl, Courtney Friel. Are they back to square one?

Lately, Ainsley has been been appearing throughout the day and evening as a contributor and as a newsreader. Her predecessor, Page Hopkins, has appeared twice on What’s Happening at the Breaking News desk. (The suits seemed to have shown her off as a kidnapper might do to prove that she was still around: where they have her now is anybody’s guess.) Who knows who these indecisive “idiots” will finally choose or settle upon!

If these pompous execs were from a more rural Southern locale, their nana might be rapping them about the head with a wooden spoon for their impertinence to and disregard of the viewers.
