This morning on "Fox and Friends," co-hosts Brian Kilmeade, Gretchen Carlson, and Steve Doocy addressed Friday's show and Kilmeade's storming off the set after a dispute about Barack Obama's comments on the "typical white person." Their explanation: it was a joke, and they do it all the time!

"They got it all wrong," Doocy said of our report. "Had Brian actually stormed off the set in anger, would he have come back the next segment?"

"I walk off all the time," Kilmeade explained. "The argument was real. The walk-off was fun. We are a fun show."

Why shouldn't their dupes believe this lie? They believe all the other lies.

It's too funny. The dupes believe what they say until they say something else. They they believe that.

stop watching tv, and save your brain.

"Walks off all the time"?

Sorry, but for some reason I just can't always believe Fox News....

What sounds really fun would be to check out the archived tapes of past walkouts.

Kill the lights. No one's watching. "Fox and Friends" is a misnomer. What friends? Are they counting hordes of enemies as friends? Well, probably. Fair and balanced is fey and biased.

Faux news! Who cares what you guys do or don't do. What's real or not real.
Fair and balanced that's a joke!
Racist and balanced is more like it.

You people seriously think the walk off was real and was over Obama?

I love that the site cut off the rest of my reply...I had added that I rarely see the show, but have seen him walk off before...he walked off after Doocy said what if I called you a typical sports guy (not anything about Obama)...he walked off right at a commercial break and was back laughing after they returned from the break...If you really believe that he walked of in serious protest you are no better than Olbermann: http://www.olbermannwatch.com/archives/2008/03/olbermann_punke.php

If a walk off is "fun" and it happens often as the three stooges claim they why did and why do they not show clips of it happening before? maybe because there aren't any?

Of course it was a joke! I heard them laughing as it was happening. Who thought he was serious?

Yes, such a funny joke. Let's speak of a throwaway remark by Obama for two hours and ignore 4,000 American soldiers dead in Iraq. Very funny!
