Not only is Fox News doing ridiculous high school popularity polls between Nancy Pelosi and Sarah Palin (in which shockingly, Fox News viewers favored Palin over Pelosi), but co-host Gretchen Carlson adds that Pelosi still doesn't get much "scrutiny" because "if you're a conservative woman, you get more attacks."
In response, Media Matters put together some of the lovely references that Fox has made towards Pelosi, rehashed by Think Progress. Let's see...
- On the November 10 edition of Fox and Friends, for instance, radio host Laura Ingraham said that "Pelosi basically did everything except sell her own body" to pass health care reform.
- On Nov. 4 on the O'Reilly Factor, Dennis Miller said Pelosi had a "sub-reptilian intellect" and likened her face to a "lizard laying on a hot rock."
- On October 30, Fox and Friends laughingly re-enacted protesters calling for Pelosi to "burn in hell."
- On October 21, Bill O'Reilly mocked Pelosi, saying, "If there wan't Botox involved, with all due respect, there might have been more expression" on her face.
- On August 6, Glenn Beck joked about putting poison in Pelosi's wine.
- On May 20, Hannity guest Jay Thomas said, "I think if you waterboarded Nancy Pelosi, she wouldn't admit to plastic surgery."
- On May 19, Dennis Miller called her a "train wreck" and a "shrieking harridan magpie."
