[General Malaise]

Her undegrad was at Syracuse, her law degeee was from Albany. Not that Albany is anywhere near Harvard, but still she has a J.D. which is a lot more than other women news people have.

Rachel Maddow was a Rhodes Scholar from Stanford who received her Doctor in Philosophy from Oxford. Still going with Megyn as the smartest woman journalist on TV?

Well, if he is talking about women then he still has a point.

Oh, hey look...Chad made a funny about somebody's looks and sexuality. How....thought provoking.

Lighten up. And for the record, there was no reference to sexuality there.

I read your post to mean Maddow wasn't a woman at all...am I wrong?

It was a joke about her looks and somewhat manly mannerisms- don't go digging in looking for deeper meanings to it.

I don't have to dig deep. You basically said she was a man.

 

[jon_mx]

at all the lefties who would rather go out with Maddow over Kelly. That has to be shtick, doesn't it?

is that really the question? Is this just purely sexual? You think we're dumb enough to pick Maddow knowing she likes chicks? Maybe I'm not getting this.

Maybe not you, but there were several who mischaracterized Kelly as dumb and would rather go on a date with the butch chick. They can't be serious.

What does that have to do with sexuality?

I hate Elizabeth Hasslebeck with the heat of 1000 suns because of this.

She's in that scorned wife/gf mode where there's no reasoning with her and all you can do is walk away or wait for it to pass. Don't care how hot she is - the aftermath would not be worth it.

That was hilarious. Please tell me her co-hosts made fun of her in the next segment. That said, she is so hot she makes my head hurt. Number one with a bullet on my grudge #### list.

LOL...anytime Rachel Maddow is brought into an intelligence discussion, that discussion has officially hit rock bottom. Anytime Rachel Maddow is brought into a discussion about hot newswomen, Rachel Maddow's name should not even be considered (not even with beer goggles).

I DVRed America Live today. I watched only a bit of it, but it was obvious from the part I saw that Megyn Kelly is a smart cookie.

Megyn Kelly on 8/2/12:
This country has a long history of discrimination against certain groups. Eventually we wind up getting it right. Right? Against women, against blacks, the civil rights movement and so on. And in justifying that discrimination when it was in place, some folks turn to the Bible and turn to their religious beliefs and said we have to have slavery because it’s in the Bible. Women have to be second-class citizens because that’s in the Bible. Blacks and whites can’t get married because that’s in the Bible. That wound up in a case. A judge wrote that in an opinion, which the Supreme Court ultimately struck that down, saying that’s not right, judge, because of the equal rights clause. What’s the difference with gay marriage?

Did you know that Guilfoyle was once married to Gavin Newsome? She was all for Gay marriage too.

Can jon_mx wrap up his entire contribution to this thread with an "OMG! Lefties!!!? That would save some time here. TIA

Caught her on the tube tonight when flipping around during football commercials, and ideology aside, I think any man who doesn't think Megyn Kelly is at worst very attractive needs to go to the doctor to see if his man parts are still there. She has an absolutely adorable smile (similar to Meg Ryan, circa late 80s/early 90s) and that haircut of hers makes her even more attractive.

Don't care for her, sorry. Too skinny and her energy is weird. Like she's had too much caffeine and blood vessel in her head is going to burst.

I'm not sure of her party affiliation and I don't know what your guess is based on, but she keeps p\/\/ning Republicans in interviews . . .Christine O'Donnell - ETA: The good part comes after that clip ends. I can't find a link to the good part now, but I saw it a couple weeks ago. O'Donnell calls Obama a Marxist but her definition of "Marxist" doesn't match standard usage and O'Brien calls her on it.

"Jesus was a white man, too," Kelly said. "He was a historical figure. That's a verifiable fact — as is Santa. I just want the kids watching to know that. My point is, how do you just revise it in the middle of the legacy of the story and change Santa from white to black?"

Kelly is responding to a Slate article that was quite popular on the internet yesterday...

Santa Claus Should Not Be a White Man Anymore

It’s time to give St. Nick his long overdue makeover.

By Aisha Harris

SLATE

When I was a kid, I knew two different Santa Clauses. The first had a fat belly, rosy cheeks, a long white beard, and skin as pink as bubble gum. He was omnipresent, visiting my pre-school and the local mall, visible in all of my favorite Christmas specials.

Then there was the Santa in my family’s household, in the form of ornaments, cards, and holiday figurines. A near-carbon copy of the first one—big belly, rosy cheeks, long white beard: check, check, check. But his skin was as dark as mine.
Seeing two different Santas was bewildering. Eventually I asked my father what Santa really looked like. Was he brown, like us? Or was he really a white guy?

My father replied that Santa was every color. Whatever house he visited, jolly old St. Nicholas magically turned into the likeness of the family that lived there.
In hindsight, I see this explanation as the great Hollywood spec script it really is. (Just picture the past-their-prime actors who could share the role. Robert De Niro! Eddie Murphy! Jackie Chan! I smell a camp classic.) But at the time, I didn’t buy it. I remember feeling slightly ashamed that our black Santa wasn’t the “real thing.” Because when you’re a kid and you’re inundated with the imagery of a pale seasonal visitor—and you notice that even some black families decorate their houses with white Santas—you’re likely to accept the consensus view, despite your parents’ noble intentions.
Two decades later, America is less and less white, but a melanin-deficient Santa remains the default in commercials, mall casting calls, and movies. Isn’t it time that our image of Santa better serve all the children he delights each Christmas?
Yes, it is. And so I propose that America abandon Santa-as-fat-old-white-man and create a new symbol of Christmas cheer. From here on out, Santa Claus should be a penguin.
That’s right: a penguin.
Why, you ask? For one thing, making Santa Claus an animal rather than an old white male could spare millions of nonwhite kids the insecurity and shame that I remember from childhood. Whether you celebrate the holiday or not, Santa is one of the first iconic figures foisted upon you: He exists as an incredibly powerful image in the imaginations of children across the country (and beyond, of course). That this genial, jolly man can only be seen as white—and consequently, that a Santa of any other hue is merely a “joke” or a chance to trudge out racist stereotypes—helps perpetuate the whole “white-as-default” notion endemic to American culture (and, of course, not just American culture).
Plus, people love penguins. There are blogs dedicated entirely to their cuteness. They’re box office gold. Most importantly, they’re never scary (in contrast to, say, polar bears and reindeer). Most kids love Santa—because he brings them presents. But human Santa can be terrifying—or at least unsettling.
And, with a penguin Santa, much Christmas folklore can remain unchanged. Being a penguin, Santa Claus can still reside in a snowy homeland—though for scientific accuracy we’ll need to move him from the North Pole to the South. He can still rock a fake white beard and red suit if he chooses. Since penguins can’t fly, Rudolph and his fellow reindeer will remain a crucial element to getting the job done on Christmas Eve. You may have even spotted a penguin here and there already among the holiday books and Christmas kitsch.
Will kids have a harder time believing in Santa the Penguin—aka Penguin Claus—than in the fat white guy he’s replacing? I don’t think so. Kids are used to walking, talking bears and gigantic friendly birds. A penguin delivering gifts might even seemmore feasible to them, since cartoons have primed them to consider such creatures fairly run of the mill.
Of course, since we created Santa, we can certainly change him however we’d like—and we have, many times over. Like the holiday itself, Santa has long since been extracted from his religious roots, even if the name St. Nicholas still gets thrown around. Our current design takes inspiration from multiple sources, including Washington Irving’s 1809 description of St. Nick “riding jollily among the tree tops, or over the roofs of the houses, now and then drawing forth magnificent presents from his breeches pockets, and dropping them down the chimnies of his favourites.” When Clement Clarke Moore published “A Visit from St. Nicholas” in 1823, the old man was described and illustrated as a “plump” but elfin figure. Since then, Santa has been redesigned and re-appropriated to push everything from soda to war.
So let’s ditch Santa the old white man altogether, and embrace Penguin Claus—who will join the Easter Bunny in the pantheon of friendly, secular visitors from the animal kingdom who come to us as the representatives of ostensibly religious holidays. It’s time to hand over the reins to those deer and let the universally beloved waddling bird warm the hearts of children everywhere, regardless of the color of their skin.
Correction, Dec. 10, 2013: This article originally misidentified penguins as mammals. They are birds.

Well the big problem is there is no way Jesus was white and anyone with two working brain cells should be able to figure that out. Oh and Santa isn't a historical figure. He is a creation of Coca Cola at least the version we are most familiar with.

First of all, it's quite clear from the video that Kelly is trying not to be a Santa Claus spoiler to kids that might be listening in while their parents are watching. That's reasonable. And, of course, the Santa myth came from St. Nicholas who was Greek and, thus, white. Regarding the Jesus part, people from the Middle East are considered white in many classification systems including U.S. Census data. Of course the common depiction of him that we see looks much more like a Northern European. Is that what the issue is?

I'm inferring that I highly doubt she was thinking of the classification of Arab people according to the US Census Bureau when she said that Jesus was white.
