Dumbing it down – Gretchen Carlson

While this is a bit delayed, its too good not to post!  Jon Stewart discusses the dumbing down of Gretchen Carlson on Fox News.  While Jon takes a shot at the Fox audience that "sees intellect as an elitist flaw", I wish he had also made the connection to the fact that Gretchen is a female and blond – both of which are likely factors in her dumbing down.  Nice to see this sort of ‘playing dumb’ pointed out.  Plus, its comedy gold.
