Some lower level lackey at Faux News must have decided to put one over on Roger Ailes and his dimbulb talking heads.

"Use this lovely photo of newlyweds kissing on the observation deck. It's as traditional as it gets."

Maybe they refer to traditionally dressed! You know, like in the photo. Wearing a bridal gown and a suit is very traditional.

I read the Amazon refviews on her most recent bookHow to Choose a Husband ( and Make Peace with Marriage). It rates 2.5 stars: 12 five-star and sixteen one-star reviews.

But many of the 5-star reviews are actually very funny sarcastic slams against the book. You should read some of those pretend positive reviews!

making peace with marriage for other folks when she at one tine got a divorce??
Others are not allowed the same journey???

The reality that Fox "News" has an agenda, and will do anything or say anything that fits their own twisted reality, even if their assertions are bullshit.
