Megyn Kelly A 'Post-Feminist News Babe': Slate

Slate:

On Wednesday, when she thanked spy novelist Alex Berenson for coming in for an interview, he submitted that any red-blooded American male would rush to bask in her glow, and she said, "Honesty--so refreshing!" Then she recommended that her female viewers give the men in their lives a Berenson book for Valentine's Day: "You could deliver it in a saucy little outfit, combine everything all in one." Secure enough in her intelligence to be comfortably upfront about working her sex appeal, Megyn Kelly qualifies as a post-feminist news babe. Don't laugh me out of room for saying so; the case is tighter than Anderson Cooper's T-shirt.

Megyn Kelly: As authentic and true-to-life as a 1960's Ming vase made in Japan.

And you'd probably give your eye-teeth to get your hands on either one.

Yes, just like Walter Cronkite... the measure of today's anchormen is whether one would have sex with them.

Yes, lets hate her because she presents an opposing political view.

That's all the loony left knows how to do. Hate.

Thanks for clearing that up. Fox "News" claims to conduct journalism. But they are in reality a political organization. She DOES represent an opposing political viewpoint. She does NOT report facts as a journalist. She has motives other than reporting the news. Thank you.

Lets see, I can watch the DADT hour with Rachel Madcow......or I can watch Megyn deliver news that normal people actually care about...hmmmm....what to do....what to do..... I think I will let the ratings speak for me......bye bye Ms. Madcow

Yeah, "normal" people count how many times the President says the word "I". Or claim the greenhouse effect is disproven because it snowed in the winter. Brilliant. I hope lots of GOPs own land on the coastline. No way in HELL I'm paying taxes to save their property.

Alhitch is just pouting because Rachel handed the Cluster-Fox 'best-est boy' Beckles his lying a** on a platter, rob - here's the link, in case you missed it: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#35375633 ...now you know why the wingnutters don't like Rachel (or pesky ol' reality, for that matter)... ;)

Hey al, here's a clue: people don't take you seriously if you have to disparage somebody by making fun of their name. All it tells us is that you are just doing the blathering thing when you can't refute the content of the article.

With her sudden rise at fox, this must mean that she is now the one getting "late night" calls from old bill- hope she has her loufah handy

Don't waste your life posting on a liberal blog if you are a Rethuglican. It is sad

Are you praising her ability to read or her looks? If Fox "News" were to enter the business of journalism, they're wouldn't have to hire models to hawk their lies. Saying this Fox "News" anchor is some sort of role model for women is an insult to all women. I don't care what that clown's opinion is.. it's not important what this young woman thinks, she has no credentials and nothing to offer.

Hey, come to think of it, she uses a teleprompter. Why aren't any Fox-ites razzing her about that?

Methinks Fox has a casting couch...in Roger Ailes' office. Enjoy that visual.

She is very attractive, untill she opens her mouth. When she opens her mouth she becomes very ugly.

[bellabeach]

Skullman, I couldn't agree more...she is not only nasty, but she is a bully! A blonde Billo and I can't stand to watch her!!

[jones]

She's as iridescently attractive as the makeup isle at Wal-Mart..

[CynAnne]

Hmmm, I think I recognize Megyn now - isn't she the "Attractive Blond Lady" from last weeks "SNL" skit about Cluster-Fox...? ;)
