Megyn Kelly: Press Room ‘Erupted’ In Laughter And Applause At Obama’s ‘Horses And Bayonets’ Line

[trailmonkee]

Awwwwww!!!! Poor Megyn Kelly is sad because the press was laughing at Mittens' expense

Fox News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly revealed that, while she watched the final presidential debate from the press room at Lynn College in Florida on Monday night, the assembled journalists burst into laughter and applause when President Barack Obama landed a rhetorical blow against Mitt Romney. When Romney said that Obama has presided over the downsizing of the Navy, Obama shot back “We also have fewer horses and bayonets.” Kelly claims that reporters exalted over this chiding of his Republican opponent.

“I was in the spin room in Boca when the president made that comment and I can tell you that the media literally erupted around me – laughing and many clapping,” said Kelly.

11. Damned reality-based members of the media...

[TreasonousBastard]

12. So, did Megyn herself laugh, or is she just describing...

the despicable behaviour of her peers?

(NPR repeated it at least 10 times this morning-- it's the "There you go again..." moment of this election.)

13. Megyn, this is how I feel about you:

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

14. Why is Megyn Kelly allowed to sit with real journalists?

That's my question.

[wtmusic]

16. Megyn - either the entire world is spinning around you

or you are doing the spinning.

I think Einstein said that.

[Beaverhausen]

17. I thought the "we have ships that go underwater" line was funnier

but missed it last night due to laughing at the horses and bayonets line.

[Mariana]

19. Megyn, do you suppose they laughed

when they heard you say, "Declaring Something An Act Of Terror Does Not Necessarily Mean You Are Declaring It A Terror Attack!"

Because, that statement of yours had me rolling on the floor.
