John Layfield, Fox Business Commentator, Sells Sex Potion After Hours — And Cavuto Wants Some

The New York Times' Brooks Barnes profiles John Layfield, Fox Business contributor by day and sex potion peddler by night:

By day, John C. Layfield is an investment banker and professional pontificator for Fox Business Network. By night, he peddles a love potion.

Mamajuana Energy, a berry-flavored liquid that Mr. Layfield developed, sells for $4.99 or less. He bills the two-ounce shots as an all-natural "sexual endurance drink" for men. A minister's son, Mr. Layfield says he first sampled the concoction in a dive bar in the Dominican Republic while on vacation and was hooked.

"It's more of a sex potion," said Mr. Layfield, who enjoyed a successful run as a professional wrestler before reinventing himself as a financial whiz and beverage impresario. "Think of it as liquid Viagra."

Mamajuana -- typically made from soaking tree bark and herbs in rum -- has long been part of Dominican culture. But it was new to Mr. Layfield, who saw a business opportunity. How about introducing a beverage into the booming energy drink market that was also an ostensible aphrodisiac?

I always new FOX was impodent, now this proves it

[trish74]

Fake News Fake Portion

[Moxo]

But the jingle, "Love Potion Channel Nine", has such a nice ring to it!

[MrTrailSafety]

I suppose that the FixedNoise OxyContin and Viagra focus groups need a "pick me up"

[guara]

1- The ingredients that are in his concoction, are not even remotely related
to the receipt of what constitutes ' MamaJuana'. He just took the name and slapped it on to a whole bunch of chemicals none related to the barks or herbs. WHAT A JOKE!!
2- The true mamajuana is a combination of barks and herbs, that were harvest by the native Tainos, that can either be made into a tea, and that in modern times, is cured in a bottle with either rum or wine. It has medicinal properties, regulation of the digestive system, regulates the blood circulation, and relaxes muscles and joints.
For John Layfield and Faux news to promote it as MamaJuana is nothing more than a travesty. Like making up lies and selling them as facts .. By the way it does suit your M.O!!! Faux News...

[heal57]

This is news?????????

[iPolitics]

Faux News. Faux Business. Sex Potion? Hannity's good friend is Neo-Nazi Hal Turner. Bill O'Reilly was sued Andrea Mackris for alledgedly: subjecting "her to repeated instances of sexual harassment and spoke often, and explicitly, to her about phone sex, vibrators, threesomes, masturbation, the loss of his virginity, and sexual fantasies."

[Eldamon]

Wow, some train wrecks are pristine in an of themselves. What can one say to add to epic irony of a purported financial wiz slinging snake oil in his spare time? The fact he works for FOX is just icing on the cake.

[TamysDMilo]

Layfield went broke following his own financial advice so now he's forced to push snake oil to get himself out of debt.

[MetalCanuck]

HA and he is on FBN calling Peter schiff down?:) LOL Peter has made a done very well for his investors.

[obxjohn]

Most people that go to the Dominican Republic don't leave the safety of their gated resorts. To do so and admit that he went to a "dive" bar, to me means that he was certainly looking for something other than a neat place to hang out. Isn't the Dominican Republic known to be a sex tourism destination? I think it's funny that Rush was found with unprescribed Viagara, on an "all boys" (no women went on the trip) weekend in the Dominican Republic. He's either into the boys, or was also partaking of the local business. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.....

[Ouroboros]

Well, these ARE Republicans, so they need all the help they can get when they aren't hitting up public men's rooms or stalking young high school interns.

[andyboy]

Anything that promises guys with little weinie's a hardier hard or an addiitional half inch is a sure winner these days.

No wonder Cavuto is interested.

[BushBites]

How many bottles did O'Reilly buy?

[nerakami]

Fox News employs a bunch of sex-repressed men who touts God and religion as a cover for their inner dysfunctional sex demons. Bill O'Reilly..... the great Fox news demi-god was once accused of sexual harassment. go figure.

[dwillisno1]

Goes to show that Fox Business News is giving its audience hard news. This guy has a firm grip on his own business. Real hands on reporting.

[connorin]

I haven't checked yet....is the story of the CNN reporter arrested in the park with meth and a rope tied to his neck and genitals here on HuffPo too?

[Deni]

Sorry to disappoint you. Yes it was, the day it happened.

[jdmccl]

Difference is the selling of non FDa stimulants (Ie energy) branded sex enhancer for selling purposes is a far cry from a tweaker S & M reporter caught in a public park. Go ahead with all the jokes, he probably has a small one from the steroids as All wrestlers and atheletes who abuse drugs. When CNBC Maria had her mile high jet problems, did that reflect on CNBC?

[dwillisno1]

Gives new meaning to being "well hung"

[kdogg]

yep

[rodeman]

I wonder if Layfield knows "Smiling Bob"..............??

[dwillisno1]

Smiling Bob, Happy Dick, Positive Peter same guy

[DavidAF]

I saw this and had slight chuckle, because Layfield is actually "John Bradshaw Layfield" or formaly known as one of the top Wrestlers on WWE. He plays a tough busniess man/cowboy for his character on the show.

[lmatthe]

Hey JBL (for all non-wresttling fans, that's John Bradshaw Layfield) Your a heel on tv. Now, your a heel in real life. I've heard of living your character, but Jeeze!!!!

[lowry99]

Bob Dole and now this guy...why do the Elephants have such trouble keeping their trunks up?

[DavidNYC]

A snake oil salesman on FBC? That's a dog bites man kind of story.

[bwither]

I'l buy some if JBL promises to give Neil Cavuto a Clothesline-From-Hell

[soylentgreenleftovers]

Snake Oil!........Get your Snake Oil!.........Step right up and get your Gen-u-wine Snake Oil right here on Fox Bizness Channel!

[shengirl]

Anybody who watches any sort of news on Fox believes in snake oil, it sort of comes with the territory.

[protagonia]

I'm glad that this new product is on the market.

It's much better than the old fashioned way to turn on a Neo Con (A young school boy).

[lmatthe]

ROTFLMAO!!!!!

[Boboday555]

John C. Layfield: just another radical right-wing nut job trying to turn a buck by duping the 'geniuses' who watch FOX.

[revolutionaryjerry]

Is everyone who is affiliated with FOX a complete idiot? Buncha limp d&%s in the GOP, but hey we all already knew that anyway.
