...and it's the most ridiculous awards show there is (and that's saying something). I had just finished watching the magnificent New England Patriots dismantle the favored Indy Colts in the AFC playoff game (how can the Pats EVER be underdogs) and I hit the channel button on my remote controls jumping up one click just in time to see NATALIE PORTMAN win a Best Supporting Actress globe and this thought crossed my mind - This is nepotism that calls out for revolution.
She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...
