Right you are... I remember just being embarrassed for FoxNews election night whenever Paula would try to insert a "thoughtful" comment. Here was this blank brain attempting to say something amidst TV's most brilliant group of political analysts (esp. Brit Hume).
The Fox & Friends Group are into "goofs" -- it's humorous that this AP writer takes Mancow's comments seriously and tries to paint a picture of all these people from this show being pushed to torment Paula from orders by Roger Ailes. This is just Paula and CNN seeking the "victim" status and perhaps some curiosity that might bring a viewer or two to Paula.
Paula: ........................
Brit: Paula?
Paula: ...........................Oh oh I know! I'm blonde!
Brit: .......ummmmm........
Paula: Yeah yeah! And do you know how I get my hair blonde? I bleach it! Yeah!
Brit: ..............Paula Zahn's analysis, everyone. Back to the studio.
