Fox News Anchor Jane Skinner On Jennie Finch, US Olympic Softball Player: "How Cute Is She? Great Representative: Blond, Blue Eyed"

Monday morning on Fox News' "Happening Now," after US Olympic softball team star Jennie Finch made an appearance to discuss the upcoming Olympic Games, co-anchor Jane Skinner made a remark you could only expect on Fox News:

"How cute is she?," Skinner asked, to which her co-host Jon Scott responded, "Very." Skinner then continued, "A great representative: blond, blue-eyed, and extremely talented."

Well she isn't one of those ... those darkie types that always do so well in sporting events ... you know that is from selective breeding right ... I mean they have white masters to thank for their sports prowess ...

[indypete]

You pinned the needle on the sarcasm-o-meter!

[JiminNC]

(sarcasm on) Prior statement (sarcasm off)

[MajorKong]

Huh? That's a very strange thing for a news anchor to say.

[jwatso7]

Utterly offensive. Fox News is a disgrace.

[kotexbarbie]

I don't find her(softball girl) attractive- just bland. I have blonde hair/blue eyes and would like to look more exotic.I'm attracted to the opposite. What I like most about myself are my really small breasts!

[indypete]

And she's not even missing!

[countfunkula]

Hilarious!

[Cedman]

Bigots and Bimbos, the FOX formula.

[RJII]

one day the press is going to refer to someone as the "girl nextdoor" or the "all-american" and it wiwll be a dark skinned black woman with an afro . And then the earth will explode.

[genseric13]

I wish the black women would wear afros. Unfortunately, the great proponents of Diversity want us all to look alike. That's why Obama has his hair cut down to a nub and the white kids have their hair cut very short. There's no diversity.

[ebanks84]

On the spot!

[genseric13]

I've heard broadcasters say, "what pretty brown eyes she has". It wasn't a big deal. Blue eyes and blond hair are not extinct yet, don't hold your breath.

[sstansbe]

The problem isn't in thinking blue eyes or blond hair is pretty. The problem is implying that these traits somehow make her a great representative of the US. This isn't Nazi Germany; we are a country of many cultures, shades, and tones, all of which would do well in representing America.

[Quaoar]

Jane Skinner is quite hot for a fascist. She's a definite FILF.

[ebanks84]

She talks like another dumb blond, that's all.

[Pyrrhus]

Evidently Dr. Goebbels somehow survivied the bunker in 1945 and has reappeared as some type of editorialist with faux news.

[oncethere]

It is impossible to over-state how superficial, moronic and small-minded many of the Fox broadcasters are.

[AllenD]

Perfect fit for their target audience.

[dolphy]

Their preaching to the morons.

[dolphy]

I meant "they're"

[uheardme]

Perhaps the blonde and the blue-eyed should be the only ones fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[PAposter]

Sounds like a plan, they are the superior beings, just ask Hitler.

[RJII]

OK

[genseric13]

Actually, they are doing most of the fighting. We always have and always will.

[ebanks84]

Well, what is your butt doing here? The only thing we see you fighting are words!

[NotBeatenYet]

Sort of puts a new spin on the term "charging the mound."

[ruffmama]

I am a brunette with brown eyes. I guess I am not a great representative for America.

[PAposter]

Only to a half-wit, blond, pseudo reporter from Fox. The athlete they were speaking to, would probably be embarrassed to hear what she said.

[indypete]

Yep. Now get to the back of the bus.

(Note to the irony impaired.... oh never mind, you still wouldn't get it!)
