Waffle House is the food of choice for spring break students, said the mayor and former police chief of Panama City Beach during an NPR interview, because it's as good going down as it is coming up! :>)
I'd love to watch more, but can't find anything on Fox and Friends. Not one of their proudest moments, so doubtful it'll ever be posted. Did he really mention eugenics? Where in the world was he going with this? I still don't get the logic.
That's an AWFULLY Irish sounding name. He should read up on his 19th-century American history. As far as most Americans were concerned, the Irish were just as much a different "race" as were African-Americans.
Oh yeah, let's bash poor rural people and Waffle House employees. You letter writers are so classy. No wonder rural parts of America vote Republican, at least the GOP tries to hide their contempt for them.
Aren't they descended from Homo Neanderthalis? We do have inter-species marriage!
The inmates are running the asylum at Fox News! Seriously, I think they should have the water checked there. It's hard for me to imagine that many crazies holed up in one place ~ still with access to the outside world. Perhaps they should put the place under quarantine.
You know, although it came out wrongly, there is a point in it. From a scientific point of view, empirical results from a more homogenous pool of genes do not necessarily generalize to more heterogenous pool of genes (America). So, although you may get freaked out by "species" or whatever, stop the insanity and try to see the point. Why are you getting so mad about this word? Why don't you get bad about BORAT or BRUNO? You laugh at them, but then take this guy's sayings seriously as hell? What the fuck is going on, are you yourself stupid or what? Give the guy a break, he is an entertainer and his job is to give comments that make the headlines. I agree that in this case it wasn't the most appropriate one because of the dark heritage of Nazi's etc, but try to see through the ill-chosen words.
I got that part about being "married," the environmental impact it has on reducing Alzheimer's. I don't know where he got the Swedish and Finn things from, but it's clear he was pulling it out of his ass. I was reacting to what is the common knee-jerk liberal response to any genetics study showing x race has this particular genetic advantage or disadvantage. In this case however, Kilmeade pulled the facts from his ass and sounded like a social Darwinist from the 1920's. However, the fact remains that some races and ethnicities are predisposed for certain genetic diseases or advantages, like Ashkenazi Jews having a greater significant risk for Tay Sach's and sub-Saharan blacks being prone to sickle-cell anemia, which in the heterozygous form is not dangerous but also provides great immunity for malaria in that malaria prone area of the world.
Goodness knows the four of us weren't movie star good lookers. But we were at least symmetrical and that alone made us kind of conspicuous.Joke: (Q) What has six breasts and three teeth? (A) The night crew at a Waffle House.

What.the.fuck.cubed!
You're as progressive as a horse racing backward. And, you overtook Kilmeade five laps back.
Mr. Koppelman,
I submit that Mr. Kilmeade's statement(s) say far more about the intellectual standards of Fox News than it does about Mr. Kilmeade.
Having said that, I'm wondering how he selected his partner. And why she, (or he), assented.
Could this be what Dubya was talking about a few years back when he warned of animal human hybrids?
Pretty women out walking with gorillaz on my street ...
I personally saw Lon Cheney Jr walking with the Queen, and they were both doing the werewolves of London. Ow-roo ...
How any of these morons could be on teevee is beyond me. None of the F&F people have anything to say but garbage and christianity and indignation. If Obama does it, it is WRONG. That is all they know.
in answer to your request to kindly give Fox News Racist Kilmeade a break: FUCK no.
as for you whine, "why don't you complain about BORAT or BRUNO?" I don't know, dumbass... maybe, just maybe it's because this thread is about KILMEADE???? Hello????? Nevermind the fact that Borat and Bruno are absurdist CHARACTERS from the mind of a comic, and Kilmeade is playing his own dumbass self (which oddly appeals to you, it seems) - you would have us completely disregard reality to play niceynice with an idiot racist fox asshole.
What the fuck is is going on? Are you stupid or what?
Seriously.
Dear whatever, so you see Bruno and Borat as purely comedy? If you do, there is nothing much intellectual to discuss with you. You clearly think this show is not entertainment.
The unfortunate comments made in Fox News had some scientific justification as I already explained and the fact that the words were not "thought-out" should not diminish that.
I do not know if the guy is a racist or not just based on this, it could as well be that he was intentionally (again, living in the moment) making a statement that is unconventional and meant to make some waves and wake you up. In this sense it really seemed to wake up you and many more.
I think it is too harsh to say a guy is a "racist" if he stands in this position as an entertainer and a headliner. And maybe, just maybe, you ought to wait him to clarify it a bit.
The comments here make a funny but somehow very scary reading because you are making judgments already. I thought you should not start killing somebody just because of this line, and he was in the right track regarding the empirical findings.
are African-Americans but Daphne, who's Australian, is laughing at this as her own name is Larkin. She's not sure if her ancestors who used to play the diddjerrydo came from Ireland, Wales or Scotland as they were Kelts she thinks but she says the Irish were Romeish in religion and were goddam ornery too unlike the Prods who went on to rule America. Daphne doesn't care reely. She says Australians don't go on and on about this sort of thing like the people she calls Yanks. I'm not too sure about her as she doesn't understand that pure Russians are better-looking, smarter and better all round than Latvians, Lithuanians and Serbs (you should look at Mr. Blagovitch). Siberians could have more open eyes but I'm not going to say that to Mr. Nanki Pui Pu as he might think I was jabbing at him. China and Russia will stay friends as we watch the dollar flop around like a struggling sturgeon. We Russians were catching seals from Alaska , the Pribolov Islands, all the way down to California when the rest of you were scrabbling around for a few roots to eat in some godforsaken spot on the planet. You were fighting amongst yourselves then too. My babuschka has a lovely sealskin coat, a family heirloom from the time Russia ruled the waves off the the Pacific Coast. In the fall "Je reviens", as my French auntie used to say when she bade Smolensk goodbye.
Now this Chinese spy who calls himself Mr. Nanki Piu Pu (but I've found out is really a woman called Magda Carta) is Eurasian just like the majority of the people in Xinjiang Province but he hasn't a good word to say about them and is pretending to be "pure". I'm not fooled by any of this. The Swedes are called after a white turnip that's known as "swede", Daphne tells me, and they were a bloodthirsty lot of mixed Vikings who came as far as Russia until we put the run on them. Now they stay at home or go to Minnesota. The Finns? There are more reindeer in Finland than people so honorable Kilmeade is probably right about that. Come to the Black Sea and you will find, like Mr. Mel Gibson, that we have some of the best "hot totty" of all. Daphne is sulking now, although I learned the expression from her but she's touchy about Komrad Gibson, being Australian herself.
I'm half-way to the G8 summit in L'Aquila where I'll do a little observation and listening but that won't stop me getting an eyeful of those gorgeous signorina. I'm a verray good mixer on the social scene, a devilishly handsome felloe specially chosen by Vlad himself.
