Faux News! Were those doctors or NASCAR drivers?
I don't know how to post a screenshot, but this morning, as I enjoyed my coffee getting ready for work, I was flipping back and forth between the Mika Mouse Club and Faux and Fiends.

One of the "bottle blondes with screwed on tits" over on Faux was interviewing three doctors in one of those classic 4-split screens.

Either the doctors were on their way to work, or they really wanted to empasize that they were indeed, doctors. They were all wearing their white labcoats. (See, I like to watch Faux and Fiends sometimes because it's hard to tell if it is an actual morning show, or an SNL skit)

Anyway, I was struck by the image of the labcoats. Not only did they have names above the pockets, but they had several other sewn on patches, kind of like how sponsors for NASCAR drivers have patches on the race car drivers' jumpsuits.

I bet if they had turned around, there would have been a huge Humana, or Viagara patch on their backs.

Amazingly, NOT ONE of these doctors had anything positive to say about Obama's speech, except for the part about taking a look at liability reform.

Seriously, if you had not known it was Faux News, you would have sworn it was Jane Curtain, Chevy Chase, John Belushi and Bill Murray doing a skit.

1. How on earth can anyone satirize something that is already a
parody of itself?

2. Yes, I guess a suit and a tie
would be "inappropriate". It begs a question though. If Faux and Fiends interviewed a porn star, would they require they be naked and performing felatio?

Come to think of it...these "doctors" were doing a pretty good job of playing the role of "whore".
