Did Fox News host a momentary feminist triumph today? Why, yes, I think it did. Megyn Kelly invited blowhard radio host Mike Gallagher on her show, and played back audio from the time he scoffed, "Megyn's still on maternity leave, isn't she? Boy, what a racket that is." Select excerpts from the verbal pillaging:
Fox News reporter Megyn Kelly has a question: "A man beats a 100 pound woman into a coma over a parking space. He claims she deserves it. Could he be right? In Kelly's Court!" Never have so many wrongs been contained in the space of a single tweet. Let us count them:

With her shiny blonde hair, perky heels and power suit ("A flair for journalism - and power pink!"), this new Barbie toy reminds us of the famous Fox News babes. Megyn Kelly perhaps? Does Barbie hate the Black Panthers too?
After a mandatory body mass screening, the state of Massachusetts deemed nine-year-old Shelby Sumner overweight and sent a letter to her parents to notify them of her corpulence. On a side note, skinny girls got As for being anorexic.

This morning, Howard Stern challenged Fox News' Megyn Kelly, host of American Live, to play Marry, Fuck, Kill with a triumvirate of Fox News blowhards: Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, and Sean Hannity. Talk about a rock and a hard place.
Tonight on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart delivered a one-two punch: one against President Obama for treating his health care reform speeches like campaign theater, and one against Fox News for continuing to spin its coverage. Inside, video of both.
