Smollett is a douchebag.

The Coast Guard guy is a douchebag.

R. Kelly is a douchebag.

Robert Kraft is a douchebag.

Nicholas Sandmann is a douchebag.

It's just one big douche off.

She took the complaint on the left and just reversed it. So lazy and unimaginative.

I think Fox News hosts are running out of ridiculous outrage. The problem with their type of entertainment "news" is they have to not only maintain a certain shock level, they have to escalate it in order to hold their audience's attention. We've seen it with The Jerry Springer Show and Dr. Phil, any show that people watch daily. Their viewers lose interest easily if you don't keep giving them red meat.

Laura Ingraham was just phoning it, maybe she knows her days are numbered and she just isn't trying anymore.
