‘Fox & Friends’ punked by Obama supporter (VIDEO)

An aspiring comedian pretending to be a former supporter for President Barack Obama appeared on "Fox & Friends" morning show via satellite on Monday during a segment that suggested the staggering unemployment rate for those aged 18-24 may cost Obama the youth vote in November.
"Fox & Friends" co-host Gretchen Carlson introduced Max Rice, the comedian, as a "recent college grad who voted for President Obama" and who "just moved out of his parents' home."
Rice interrupted Carlson's introduction, saying "S'up," and then told her, "Miss U.S.A., it's an honor." After Carlson, a former Miss America winner, corrected Rice, he said, "Miss Universe in my book." Things quickly got worse from there.
"I was a huge Obama supporter in 2008," Rice said. "I met him in third grade. I met him when I was little."
When asked why he is now supporting Mitt Romney, Rice claimed he lost a bet to a friend in a pickup basketball game.
"Are you being serious about this interview or not?" Carlson asked.
"Yeah," Rice said. "I can't see your face right now. This is so weird."

if he's an "aspiring comedian" he's not a very good one. I guess I just don't think getting "punked" is very funny. I don't ever watch any of those type of shows.

I just like the fact that they thought they had a Romney supporter on. They're desperate.
