'Fox And Friends' Anchor Brian Kilmeade Frustrated With Penguins (VIDEO)

Remember a few weeks ago when a young emperor penguin took a wrong turn out of Antarctica and landed on a New Zealand beach? Well, he finally has his happy ending!

After two medical procedures and an intravenous drip, the little guy, or "happy feet" as his caregivers dubbed him, has been offered a ride home. New Zealand investment advisor Gareth Morgan is the knight in shining armor, and plans to take the penguin with him on an expedition to Antarctica in eight months, granted the young penguin is healthy enough for the journey.

Happy story, right? Apparently not for a "Fox & Friends" anchor. After Gretchen Carlson read the heart-warming story, an exasperated Brian Kilmeade jumped in, saying, "The detail we have on this case is astounding," and "It would be different if that was a unique-looking penguin. That looks like every penguin outside the one on 'Batman' that we've seen."

Kilmeade continued by saying, "What is this story? We're still looking for that jackass penguin that jumped in the English Channel, remember that?" Carlson concluded, "I guess you don't like penguins." Although Kilmeade denied the accusation, the evidence may speak for itself.

What do you think? Is Kilmeade totally justified, or is he a penguin-hater?

Quick Poll

Was he too harsh?

No way, I'm so over penguins.

Totally! What's up with the penguin hate?

Kilmeade is too weird.  I bet he's a crossdresser on the weekends.

This is not news.

'Fox and "Friends"' simply hates America -- we've known that all along.

It would be fun to release penguins into their studio and watch those three cower like infants.

They're afraid that if we start caring for animals, then we might start caring for each other. If we start caring for each other, then we will be happy to have a functioning government that taxes the rich and re-distributes that money in the form of schools, roads, infrastructure, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Food & Drug Administration, Veterans, Social Security, Medicare, etc. They want us to be so selfish that we vote like Mr. Burns.

Seriously, they want to destroy, or at least render impotent, the government.

Remember, these are spokesmen for the super rich. People like...oh, i don't know..

RUPERT MURDOCH, the criminal.

Sympathy and The Republican philosophy are contradictory. The Republican mentality is anger and hostility towards everything external. They are basically negative. Ever know one? They hate everything. They are totally miserable people and they know, down deep that their philosophy is destructive, and they kinda want destruction. I know that Republicans enjoy class difference, and 'don't want THEM to have it" when it comes to healthcare.

They are basically selfish, spoiled and spiteful people, who hate their way through life.

If you explain to them that every road that they've ever driven on, all the water that comes to their house, the firefighters that stand at the ready to save their lives and property at the risk or loss of their own, the police that do the same thing, the military that does the same thing, the trash that gets picked up like clockwork, the schools that they went to, every park that they played in....so much of their life is the result of socialism -- government-- if you explained that to them, they just get mad and go back to their position of what amounts to "F everyone. I want lower taxes."

Hey, republicans? we tried it your way back in 1888. It sucked.

Yes, why are republicans so miserable. Try liberalism: good beer, pot, helping people, working together, and great comedians.

This is ironic because only weeks ago Fox spent hours reporting on a wolf being sighted in Greenwich CT. Literally hours. I guess though when your base is threatened by a wild animal its different.

just watch Fox Cable and you will get what is really happening behind closed doors in Washington:

i know it's too scary to face what is really happening to this country. run don't walk to the polls in 2012.

The Emmys should add a category: Best Show For Lowering The Intelligence Bar.

here's another story that your readers may like. the head of GE sits side by side with Obama, he was appointed to oversee jobs and job creation. this morning FOX News, not the George Soros news stations reported that GE is opening a plant in China, yes China, not the United States. How does this create jobs in the US someone explain this to this country of unemployed Americans. I really need to get some feedback on this. but you needed to do a story of Fox news and penguins. i can suggest stories one doed not see on main stream media. i look forward to seeing these comments published.

Actually it was Fox news that did a story on Penguins. HuffPo just had the bad idea to repost it. But I'm sure Fox is covering the phone hacking scandal with great rigor! NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox are all media companies owned by large corporations. Doesn't matter if they are right or left leaning. Try watching or reading real independent news.

i have an idea for a story, why don't you write about the person in the Oval Office not passing a bill to solve the debt ceiling because, if he does pass the bill that the Speaker of the House put forward, it would take him away from his 2012 campaign, because they would have to vote on it again in 6 months. it means he would actually have to work, he would really have to stay in Washington. Obama will not let this get resloved because he can use it to scare the life out of seniors, it's all about his re-election. his agenda does not get lost on everyone.

It wasn't that long ago he was complaining about americans tendency to marry other species. We are impure.
