Carlson: “When I woke up this morning and took a shower and I looked down, I still had to put a bra on!” To paraphrase Shania Twain, Fox & Friends anchor Gretchen Carlson feels like a woman! She needs her cups and her F&F boys, Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy, need their cups, too.
For Gretchen’s male admirers who may feel like F&F‘s “alpha bitch” is always kvetching a bit too much, she seemed to turn up the heat for them Wednesday. As the show started with a tease for a “new website helping you find love at the airport,” Gretchen cooed, “I hate to bring it up so early in the morning but there have been a lot of jokes about hooking up on airplanes.” Feigning innocence, she said, “You know, there’s that club so I’m just wondering if that’s what they’re talking about with this dating site.” Chuckling racily, she added, “If you’re married, you’re going to hate this dating site because there could be a lot of other kind of hookups with married people traveling.”
An hour later, when the second F&F hour began, Brian “innocently” promoted a similarly salacious segment, saying, “It’s the story you’ll be talking about all day. More and more men say they’ll never get married because women aren’t women anymore….Gretchen’s gonna punch me in a second.”
In response, Gretchen remarked, “Not at all!” Smiling saucily, she elaborated, “I just think it’s a provocative conversation because when I woke up this morning and took a shower and I looked down…I still had to put a bra on.” When her co-host Steve Doocy joked, “Fox News Alert!,” Gretchen racily riposted, “I’m still a woman….And, I love being a woman. And I, I absolutely love my feminine side!”
Always the wicked wag, Brian jested, “And Steve and I looked down and we didn’t put on bras. So, we know we’re men!”
Laughing, Gretchen bawdily responded, “You put on a cup!” Beaming, Brian retorted, “Yeah, yeah, absolutely! Because this is a tough business we’ve chosen! Grinning, Steve answered, “You’ve got that right!” Naughtily, Gretchen concluded, “You should just wear it just in case: That’s why I wear the underwire [bra].”
As Steve segued to his more “naive” son Peter Doocy for the next segment, Gretchen lustily laughed, “I know you’re chuckling, Peter, because you didn’t hear any of that first part of the conversation. Did you?” Smiling, Peter answered, “No, I heard it! But, we’re just going to, I’m just going to keep it going.”
Chiming in deftly, Steve exclaimed, “Good idea!” No rubbing Gretchen’s toes for Peter today!

…….and as always, this is NOT what I tune in to F&F for in the morning. When is FOX going to finally wise up and see not just the lack of chemistry with Carlson, but the NEGATIVE impact she has on the entire show. I find myself jumping to CNN more and more out of sheer desperation whenever Carlson starts on another one of her never-ending, mindless “dissertations” on every and any subject.
In the name of all that’s holy, grant us ALL clemency and send her packing. Her daily overbearing, humorless and self-serving performance is becoming intolerable. I am absolutely astonished that the folks at FOX don’t see this. I am an avid and long-time FOX viewer and used to look forward to F&F to start each day. However, with Carlson, this magic is gone and has been for a long time now. I know for a fact that many of my fellow FOX aficionados are deserting the show specifically to avoid having to deal with her each day. Her style doesn’t fit! Never has, never will. The longer she is allowed to weaken the show, the more folks are forced to view other stations. Some may never return……..

Vciro you lady are a hater. I know you’re a women because it’s mostly women that complain about Gretchen. No chemistry ? Her style doesn’t fit ? The show is the highest rated cable morning show. Get a grip lady. Gretchen is hot. She is smart, and the most popular female on Fox News. Focus your energy on how you can improve yourself.

Let me assure you “Anonymous”, I am all man, Marine Corps Vet, a husband, father and now grandfather. And am far from a woman hater….or hater of anyone. I speak with many males and females who like FOX like I do and the overwhelming majority share my dislike of Carlson’s style. I have nothing against this woman personally, I don’t know her or does that even matter. I don’t care if some feel she is “hot”. Most if not all of the female personalities on FOX are attractive and intelligent women. However, I feel that her style does not fit. When Alisyn Camerota, Ainsley or just about any other woman sits in, the show is so much better and the chemistry is positive as opposed to the negative that I feel Carlson’s overbearing style brings.
I am entitled to my opinion as are you. I’ll focus my energy where I see fit, thank you. It seems to me that your “protest” against those of us who do not support Carlson’s performance is way over the top. If you like her style, fine. I and many others don’t. And I certainly don’t need you to tell me where to focus my energy.

Could not agree more with vciro. I avoid the show when she is on. She is so self-centered and thinks people actually look to her for her analysis of events. She use “I” and “Me” and raises her voice to try and make a point because she can not articulate her views. As Elaine from Sienfeld would say……Fake, Fake and Fake.

Vciro you are right sir. Everyone is entiled to there opinion. I don’t agree that my “protest” is way over the top. I think you original post against Gretchen was way over the top. You were throwing insults, left and right. I like many other people, think Gretchen does good job.

vciro, you summed Gretchen up for me. There is always room for expressing an alternative point of view but with Gretchen it’s not so much ‘We Report, You Decide’ as ‘I’ve decided and I’m telling you what to think”
