"Good Morning! Each morning we are amazed at the excellent posture and strange "leg crossings" on Fox's early, early news. I have tried to get my legs to do that...but, it hurts. What can I say, it's a slow Monday!"

She's not the only one amazed by it! :Kool

Ditto on that.

What she meant by "strange" is confusing.....I took it as a subtle dig at the (gratuitous) amount of leggage on display versus Early Start which is far more modest.

I don't think Carol should be bothered by it....I tune into F&F First for the news and to exercise my brain with the crossword puzzle.

Haha it is funny though that Carol admits she watches Fox every morning. I guess she likes the legs too!

I'm not getting much of a "dig" vibe off of what Carol said...
Just sounds like an observation she made to just have something to say. Might even have
been a bit of a compliment in one respect.

By the way -- Carol works in the same building as Susan Hendricks, Robin Meade, and Brooke Baldwin.
Hasn't she ever noticed they all have their own "leg methods" as well?

Hummm...you might be right. Maybe amongst female anchors it is common knowledge to not cross your legs when the camera is on you or something and that's what she meant by "strange."

Nah, I think she was just kind of amused by some of the Fox ladies' posture -- Heather Childers is a really good example.
That very precise way she positions one leg over the other, always at the same perfect angle...similar to what Robin
does on the HLN couch.

Besides, I don't think Carol should be one to diss anyone over flashing the camera...
She's not completely innocent herself on that charge!

I like her better with her legs undressed. Spread thighs :Tounge

If you can't compete, criticize and hope someone pays attention to you, I guess.
Carol Costello isn't exactly known for her intelligence, and I'm fairly sure she didn't get the job because of her SAT scores.
You gotta wonder what segment of the viewership she's aiming for with that comment: "All of you who are already Fox News haters, check this slam out."

Enjoy the CNN Death Spiral.

Guess they watch Fox News instead of CNN at CNN, too :jetserl

Sounds like sour grapes to me, since F&FF is kicking ES butt :Kool

Sour grapes indeed. Or jealous.

All those morning shows on every network are pure fluff if you ask me. I never watch any of them but I always check out the caps!

You thought I was being serious (especially about the scrambled crossword)? I really hope you are kidding.

Wasn't a poke at you... I was ripping FOX for a "scramble word" game....

Please, Stewart is a hack.

I notice he doesn't address how the other networks covered the RNC. How they wouldn't air speeches by minorities or the speeches of governors from swing states.
