Video: Jane Skinner blows a line on Fox News
posted at 7:17 pm on November 17, 2006 by Allahpundit
No pun intended. Well, maybe a little intended.
I’m thinking we’ll stick to videos for the rest of the night. It’s either that, a post on Iran’s growing influence in Lebanon, or a rant about the editorial director of CBSNews.com bidding “good riddance” to the “weirdo” Republican Congressional majority of 1994.
As the Poor Blogger’s Almanac says: “Friday night? Keep it light.”
How did we miss this clip, anyway?
If you don’t get Shep’s reference to having been there before, watch this. It’s from 2002.

It takes balls to say “cock”.
Bellicose Muse on November 17, 2006 at 7:22 PM
Hi.Lar.I. Ous.
HerrMorgenholz on November 17, 2006 at 7:22 PM
Jane handled that with the admirable grace. I salute her.

RushBaby on November 17, 2006 at 7:26 PM
Jane was thinking about me …
Ali-Bubba on November 17, 2006 at 7:34 PM
Hot.
This is one of my favorite newscaster flubs.
Slublog on November 17, 2006 at 7:35 PM
Okay, Slubog wins. Damn. I’ve almost stopped coughing up my beer…
MamaAJ on November 17, 2006 at 7:43 PM
The Slubog one was great but it didn’t make me feel funny down there.
Metro on November 17, 2006 at 7:46 PM
Heh. Wish I could be the Mayor of Skinnerville–I’ve had a thing for Jane ever since she started working at FOX.
ReubenJCogburn on November 17, 2006 at 7:47 PM
I saw this last week… LOL!! She handled it well. No pun intended.
x95b10 on November 17, 2006 at 7:49 PM
Slublog, I’ve seen that one on YouTube as well… hilarious.
But Allah is right, how did we all miss this? Skinner had a bit of a flub today as well, though not nearly as bad as that one. Basically she’s supposed to be a pretty big football fan, being that her husband is NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, but she made some kind of boneheaded “girl” remark. I can’t talk, because I’m not a huge football fan, but it was just funny to see Shep rag on her a bit and, while giggling, etc. she turned red and he was like “whoa! you don’t usually get embarassed!”
What I find really interesting about the “top cock” video though, outside of the obvious, is that she immediately thought “YouTube”. Fox does a lot of that. Not only when discussing mainstream YouTube type stories they all joke “that will be on YouTube” after they say something funny or goof up the teleprompter reading.
In short they are embracing the “new media”, which obviously can’t be said for Larry King.
One of my favorite slips (if you want to call it that) actually comes from Wolf Blitzer though. Little did he know at the time what YouTube would become, allowing me to link you to it like this!
I also love this Fox & Friends clip. What’s funny is that it was put online by one of the “Fox News watchdog” groups, and their aim is to bust Brian Kilmeade for stereotyping asians. If for nothing else you can watch it to see Kiran Chetry.
If that wasn’t enough Kiran for you, here she is on a pogo stick, and making Mike Jerrick’s day.
RightWinged on November 17, 2006 at 7:51 PM
Man, this guy enjoyed his job. Far too much.
Slublog on November 17, 2006 at 7:52 PM
Fox News. All about cocks and balls this week LOL
lorien1973 on November 17, 2006 at 7:53 PM
We can do the heavy stuff on Monday. I vote for Jane Skinner, and I’m glad we in southeast Wisconsin can share her with the rest of the country.
steveegg on November 17, 2006 at 7:54 PM
I’m from Columbia, SC originally…and we say “Go Cocks!” all the time…in reference to The Univeristy of South Carolina Fighting Gamecocks, of course!
(They actually stopped (officially) selling women’s shorts that had “COCKS” emblazened on the rear…lol).
SouthernGent on November 17, 2006 at 7:55 PM
How do you ever live something like that down?
OK, enough fun, back to finishing my paper.
Hack Ptui on November 17, 2006 at 7:55 PM
LOL!
Ali-Bubba on November 17, 2006 at 7:56 PM
Yeah, she was very professional but still had fun with it. That’s why I love FNC. It’s not uncommon to hear laughter from behind the cameras on that network.
Yakko77 on November 17, 2006 at 7:57 PM
Damn, spam filter gobbled up my lengthier link rich post… hopefully it will appear shortly.
In the mean time, raise your hand if you wish you were Kelly Wright in this clip.
RightWinged on November 17, 2006 at 8:00 PM
First it was Balls from Michelle, and now Cock from Skinner! Oh my!
Pam on November 17, 2006 at 8:01 PM
Geez you WOMEN all you think about is SEX SEX SEX !
Whats a poor guy to do ? (other than beg ?)
William Amos on November 17, 2006 at 8:03 PM
Thank you Kiran, may I have another!
steveegg on November 17, 2006 at 8:03 PM
“YouTube me — just do it now!” She was quick with that…she knew instantly where that tape was going.
Skinner to Shooter is like KP to AP,
She is the best.(jane that is)
shooter on November 17, 2006 at 8:08 PM
Still more Kiran Chetry (not that Skinner isn’t hot too, but Kiran still takes the cake as far as I’m concerned). The Fox & Friends weekend crew were dressed up as Hollywood celebs for Halloween or something (can’t remember off the top), and as disgusting as I find Angelina Jolie normally, Kiran makes her look hot as hell! It was almos ta sequel. Many of you may have seen photos of Kiran dressed as Tomb Raider a couple years back (scroll).
RightWinged on November 17, 2006 at 8:13 PM
I owe you a drink for linking that clip.
Slublog on November 17, 2006 at 8:18 PM
Nice. Go ‘Cocks!!
Theworldisnotenough on November 17, 2006 at 8:20 PM
…Kiran should’ve listened to the “bad idea” coming from the cast and crew…looked a little “bad ’70′s porn” there for a second…I was expecting Johnny Holmes to stroll out to take a turn….
Puritan1648 on November 17, 2006 at 8:29 PM
…two words: San Fran….
Puritan1648 on November 17, 2006 at 8:31 PM
Anyone else think Mike Jerrick is the luckiest guy working in TV right now? He works with Juliet Huddy every day and, if she’s sick, he gets to work with someone like Kiran Chetry.
mhexel on November 17, 2006 at 8:32 PM
…no…the best was Shep…trying…*TRYING* not to laugh…she knew she was busted….
Puritan1648 on November 17, 2006 at 8:35 PM
Don’t blame her. IT’S BUSH’S FAULT.
Constantine on November 17, 2006 at 8:58 PM
I can’t figure the Fow Newsteam is either oversexed or undersexed! Either way that had to be embarassing funny, but embarasing non the less.
sonnyspats1 on November 17, 2006 at 9:00 PM
I call DOGPILE on Constantine.
Thanks for taking the blame.
steveegg on November 17, 2006 at 9:00 PM
…considering the context, you’re developing into a very, very bad man….
…there’s hope for you yet….
Puritan1648 on November 17, 2006 at 9:01 PM
Go to YouTube and search for “Tapes of Wrath”. I used to have a VHS of this but it went missing :^(
db on November 17, 2006 at 9:07 PM
I totally saw him change the words on the prompter, just like Veronica Corningstone did to Ron Burgundy.
It was Karl Rove’s idea, though.
Constantine on November 17, 2006 at 9:07 PM
In that case, bravo, Mr. Rove.
Bravo.
Slublog on November 17, 2006 at 9:18 PM
I’ll save you some time. This is the best clip
db on November 17, 2006 at 9:26 PM
Reporter tantrums = PRICELESS.
Constantine on November 17, 2006 at 9:37 PM
I never thought I’d say this, but you nailed it.
steveegg on November 17, 2006 at 9:48 PM
I wish newscasters would make more such mistakes – it makes them real and entertaining to watch.
omegaram on November 17, 2006 at 11:01 PM
CliffHanger on November 17, 2006 at 11:02 PM
that was very funny
Defector01 on November 17, 2006 at 11:14 PM
I’m sorry, but this was beautiful…why no trackbacks? Ace?
Topsecretk9 on November 18, 2006 at 1:24 AM
The only thing better would have been actually seeing the extremely HAWT Jane Skinner saying it… and saying it TWICE to boot… not just hearing it.
SilverStar830 on November 18, 2006 at 1:57 AM
More YouTube fun. (I’m a Bush man, and I can’t stand Letterman, but in the words of Larry the Cable Guy “I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there.”)
RightWinged on November 18, 2006 at 3:47 AM
Oh, you guys have got to see this! Some things never change… It’s almost at the very end, the second to last clip, and it begins right at 6:00. He appears to be a soldier in the Gulf War, but regardless of the conflict, he nails it.
RightWinged on November 18, 2006 at 3:59 AM
“blows a line on Fox News”
Damn “cuz”, I thought you had video of Skinner snortin’ some Charlie when I saw that headline.
lazerua on November 18, 2006 at 5:05 AM
That is good unintentional funny.
Pablo on November 18, 2006 at 5:41 AM
funny & hot!
stevezilla on November 18, 2006 at 10:19 AM
For anyone who didn’t get enough of the Fox News Foxes from that Skinner video, or the Chetry videos I linked to… I bring you GirlsOfFoxNews.com … Hadn’t visited for a while but I see, via screen caps, they’re revealing a side of Gretchen Carlson I’d never seen (no, not the cleavage shot… keep scrolling)
RightWinged on November 18, 2006 at 12:30 PM
RightWinged and Pablo, that is funny.
For anyone who never heard the military acronym NBC, it stands for Nuclear Biological Chemical, todays WMD acronym. That soldier/marine didn’t misspeak. It just sounds funny taken out of that context.
tadams1138 on November 18, 2006 at 2:22 PM
Too bad he didn’t also mention Chemical Not Nuclear, Chemical Biological Systems, and Atomic Biological Chemical.
RightWinged on November 18, 2006 at 3:18 PM
Slublog,
Way off topic, but since you brought up the Erik Weihenmayer gay/blind flub…
Touch the Top of the World is one of the most inspirational stories I’ve ever encountered. I had the chance to meet Erik at a speaking event in San Francisco in August of this year, and it was quite remarkable. He’s amazingly funny, moving, and interesing.
During his preparation for the Everest Assault, he and two friends scaled a corkscrew spire in Moab, Utah named Ancient Art. The two friends are Mark Wellman, paralyzed from the waist down, who climbs in a body-sling using only his arms, and Hugh Herr, a double-leg amputee who became a doctor so he could learn to design his own prosthetics.
“Three gimps go climbing” was how they referred to that trip. Follow the link, and click on any of the photos in the lower half of the page to start a slide show. It’s worth the click.
Anyone who could listen to Erik speak and ever again think that life is more barrier than opportunity is someone to be pitied. He sat and signed every copy of his book bought that day, and the script in mine simply says “Reach!”
Freelancer on November 18, 2006 at 8:04 PM
She said it accidently. No big deal. But then, slowly and intending to correct herself, she said it again. That was funny. Top cop.
What was the line Shep was supposed to read? “[they] sound more likely to give her a curve job than a block party” Curve job?
Kevin on November 18, 2006 at 9:10 PM
Curb job?
tadams1138 on November 18, 2006 at 9:27 PM
“Bang Somebody’s Head against the curb.” That’s messed up, but you’re probably right. Thanks tadams1138.
Kevin on November 18, 2006 at 10:38 PM
I love flubbs & fluffs by cute women. Let us laugh at her misfortune. :o)
