No two ways about it, this is terrible…
Update: Yes, yes…to those who have emailed in telling me…this ain’t live TV…I know it’s not. But I put it up there anyways…

“Stand here, read this.” That’s it, I demand to host F&F, because clearly anyone is qualified.

Really? *Yawn*

I wonder if he says that at home..

Anybody with half a brain knows he did it on purpose. That’s his sense of humor, keep a straight face and say stupid things. There is no “hazard” here. Lighten up.

I don’t get it. Is there a runnng gag about claiming he’s Doocy we’re unaware of? If so, how would doing it without a hint of irony make any sense to a channel-flipping viewer? I think your theory is nuts. Somebody forgot to insert his name in the prompter, and Mr. Autopilot didn’t notice.

Maybe it’s just me, but doing it right after a story about defacing the Virgin Mary seems a bit..douchy.

Of course he did it on purpose. He thinks he’s very funny. He’s also the only one who thinks that.
May 28, 2010 at 12:19 pm
I don’t know. But he’s the SMART ONE of the three!

“how would doing it without a hint of irony make any sense to a channel-flipping viewer?”
A channel-flipping viewer never saw it. This is an online-only segment. They do one of these each day. Because today was Friday (a day that Doocy ordinarily does the segment) Clayton said ‘This is Steve Doocy’. Not exactly uproarious but most people who download or watch it online each day get the joke.

^Well there ya go. I didn’t know it was online only. That’s a much smaller audience that would tend to know The Rules. Never mind.
May 28, 2010 at 2:21 pm
Of course he was trying to be funny. Brian Kilmeade does this sort of humour all the time.
May 28, 2010 at 2:33 pm
Remind me whan I should start laughing….
May 28, 2010 at 2:34 pm
And apparently FNC execs weren’t laughing either.

As Laura said, following the Virgin Mary story with this ‘joke’ was pretty lame.

1) the title should be changed to “The Hazards Of Linking A Huffington Post story”.
2) I don’t think that people who allegedly cheat on their wife and get a co-worker pregnant really care much about the Bible or Mary.

-Bible or Mary-
I’m confused. Are you bashing the story, or the guy in it?
May 28, 2010 at 7:19 pm
Why would anyone want to be Steve Doocy?
May 28, 2010 at 7:21 pm
^ I guess if you start out as Clayton Morris, it’s an upgrade.
May 28, 2010 at 7:25 pm
^HA!
May 28, 2010 at 10:45 pm
Did nobody notice that the story they were talking about was on the “value of being yourself?” Or something like that? The graphic said it clearly. I think that was the point of the joke.
As for FNC execs not being happy about it… was there any real evidence of that, or just Huff&Puffs “word?”
May 28, 2010 at 10:51 pm
What’s with the derogatory referencs to HuffPo from righties? Being left-leaning doesn’t make them liars. It’s a good site.
May 28, 2010 at 11:36 pm
first, anything “johnny dollar” or “J$” posts should be immediately dismissed.
second, i’m no fox defender… but who cares? i get he was trying to be funny. but it wasn’t. but it’s not like he killed anyone or stole from your mama. who cares? and anyone else who gave a crap not named steve doocy needs to find something else to occupy their free time. i doubt doocy even cares.
get bent.
May 28, 2010 at 11:45 pm
-get bent.-
Huh?
May 28, 2010 at 11:52 pm
-get bent.-
Bike slang?
May 29, 2010 at 12:56 am
“get bent” means “**** off”.
May 29, 2010 at 1:13 am
“get bent” means “**** off”.
Not in my world, brother. I ride a recumbent. To me, it means “ride a bicycle that isn’t trying to kill you with a stupid riding position that’s only still popular because the rules of the Tour de France ban ‘bents because they’re more efficient then everybody would want one and the big manufacturers would have to lose market share to established recumbent makers while they learn how to make them”. But I digress..

Once again, a trip to the “urban dictionary” is required:

“Getting pwned” needs his mouth washed out with soap.

^I like my version better.
