America’s sweetheart, out like a light onstage in front of a national television audience? There’s only one possible explanation — a left-wing reprisal “attack” for the Rethuglican waylaying of poor, innocent Randi Rhodes.
Your exit question: Which Fox News show will be the first to incorporate a dance segment? They’re trending that way; it’s only a matter of time before they make the leap. I’m thinking H&C, just because the two-host format lends itself so naturally to competition. Imagine forty hard-hitting minutes on jihad and immigration — whereupon Sean and Alan pair off with Coulter and KP to see which party’s got the dopest moves of all. A man can dream, can’t he?

Man…how old is she now? She’s still gorgeous!
MadisonConservative on October 23, 2007 at 1:26 PM
Yeah, no foolin’. She’s 48.
Allahpundit on October 23, 2007 at 1:26 PM
I love Marie! She’s not the best dancer of those remaining, but she’s still hanging in there. She’ll deal with this incident just like she does everything…with a sense of humor. Here’s links to two little youtube bits she and her friends came up with (Dancing With the Starved) poking fun of her image:

Real fast reflexes that guy has, eh? He’s got his arms around her and still lets her thump right down.
MamaAJ on October 23, 2007 at 1:38 PM
Yeah, the guy is a dunce. She’s breathing so hard you can hear her off-camera, and yet he still has his arms wrapped around her (ok, I’ll give him that part), and then let’s her drop like a sack of potatoes.
Jaibones on October 23, 2007 at 1:53 PM
She’s a little bit lung-y!
Jim Treacher on October 23, 2007 at 1:55 PM
Yeah, right after he squeezed all the breath out of her.
…..allegedly
ej_pez on October 23, 2007 at 1:55 PM
She is a mighty handsome woman.

I question the timing. Really.
jihadwatcher on October 23, 2007 at 2:06 PM
Well, Alan Colmes and “dope” do naturally belong together.
I bet that’s the first thing I’d say too.
ReubenJCogburn on October 23, 2007 at 2:06 PM
How depressing is that thought! If she’s 48 I must be……[shakes head and walks away].
Mallard T. Drake on October 23, 2007 at 2:06 PM
Ah, but it is only us heterosexual men who have fast reflexes when holding a beautiful woman.
radjah shelduck on October 23, 2007 at 2:11 PM
I was going to suggest MKH and Bill O’Reilly, but the thought of that even creeped me out. Sorry MKH.
Mallard T. Drake on October 23, 2007 at 2:13 PM
Why not save money and just have Hannity and Colmes dance with each other?
danking70 on October 23, 2007 at 2:22 PM
Fainting spell or no fainting spell…She really is a stunner, isn’t she?
So happy to see her looking so good. I was such a fan of her and Donnie as a child.
tickleddragon on October 23, 2007 at 2:29 PM
Did anyone else find it a bit creepy the way that Jonathan guy kept his arms around her the whole time? Like some lovestruck teenage couple. Blech.
flipflop on October 23, 2007 at 2:48 PM
I’d rather see Cuban do a faceplant.
JammieWearingFool on October 23, 2007 at 2:54 PM
I was a little more creeped out by the fact that this woman drops to the floor and several members of the audience laughed.
mauioriginal on October 23, 2007 at 3:00 PM
They thought it was her joking. I did too even though I saw a replay of it. It’s hard to tell that she fainted.
Esthier on October 23, 2007 at 3:03 PM
Which begs the question, “Why isn’t there a cut of BrokeBack H&C.”
- The Cat
P.S.
You ain’t kiddin.
P.P.S. Why hasn’t Mitt hit her up for an endorcement.
MirCat on October 23, 2007 at 3:19 PM
That would be sweeeeeeeeet!!!!!
Andy in Agoura Hills on October 23, 2007 at 3:28 PM
48? She’s still cuter than a bug’s ear.
T J Green on October 23, 2007 at 3:31 PM
I’d give gladly Marie mouth-to-mouth resucitation if she fainted in front of me :D
Frantic Freddie on October 23, 2007 at 3:32 PM
I’ve never seen someone faint for real before. In the movies it’s more of a graceful swoon, but she just sunk like a rock. Ouch.
tikvah on October 23, 2007 at 3:33 PM
Wow. She must have been thinking of me.
Marie, you hottie!
Black Adam on October 23, 2007 at 3:34 PM
I wonder what Simon would make of this?
RobCon on October 23, 2007 at 3:47 PM
Follow brother Donny’s advice. Sing Marie…….Don’t dance.
RobCon on October 23, 2007 at 3:48 PM
Actually, not that easy to catch a fainter… I’ve tried once.
I did a little better than that (I got an arm under her, and basically fell with her landing in my lap) but when you don’t know if she’s going to faint for sure (much less when) it isn’t as easy as you’d think.
And unless you’re braced for it, having someone’s full weight pull (which she would have pulled him forward) will likely take you over anyhow. Unless you can prepare, and get a decent stance; you’re likely simply slowing their collapse.
gekkobear on October 23, 2007 at 5:31 PM
She handled the backstage interview with perfect grace and cheer. What a lady.
RushBaby on October 23, 2007 at 6:18 PM
Easy; Skinnerville on Studio B.
steveegg on October 23, 2007 at 6:45 PM
What a trouper!
Jaibones on October 23, 2007 at 10:17 PM
Heh.
Jaibones on October 23, 2007 at 10:18 PM
This is no laughing matter.
Remember Hank Gathers? He’s the athlete who collapsed and died on a basketball court. I believe it was later found that he might have had an undisclosed heart ailment or defect.
I’m a recovering heart patient. I suffered Congestive Heart Failure 3 years ago. I’m in my late 40’s and my family has a history of heart problems with my father dying of a heart attack in his forties. I know of what I speak. I would strongly hope that somebody close to Marie would suggest to her that she immediately sees a cardiologist.
kevcad on October 23, 2007 at 10:43 PM
What a cheezy way to get the sympathetic vote. I hope it’s not a Mormon thing, next thing you know, Mitt will be fainting on the campaign trail.
