Steve Doocy’s Stupidity Stuns McCain Into Prolonged Silence

Once we asked ourselves, How does Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy get out of bed each morning knowing that he’ll have to be Steve Doocy all day long? Well, he’s so dumb that he doesn’t “know” anything. We even feel sorry for John McCain in this clip, because he actually has to *talk* to this jerk-off for a few seconds. The topic is “gotcha journalism,” and Steve Doocy asks John McCain a personal question about Steve Doocy, because Steve Doocy has no clue what “gotcha journalism” means at all. [YouTube]

  1. I’m pretty sure he just called Steve Doocy a fag.

  2. omfg my face got hot. This is the most embarrassing shit ever.

  3. thesycophant says at 5:26 pm, September 30th, 2008

    At work and can’t watch the video right now, but that YouTube still is pretty much perfect.

  4. I blame Doocey for Hurricane Gustav.

  5. spencer: Yep, the irony being that Steve Dooky is an Anti-Fag!

    The feeling you got when you watched that is called a “douche-chill”, everyone.

  6. I love how both of their favorite colors are blue! I thought for sure those Republicans douchebags would say red. I have to give Walnuts a little credit on his answer–it was pretty funny.

  7. ooo “chartreuse” … McCain is a pansy for even knowing how to pronounce it. Might as well have said “the color of arugula.”

  8. Astrobastard says at 5:30 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Oh god, that failed Colbert expression right after he asks the question… awful x1000.

  9. Cogito Ergo Bibo says at 5:31 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Jeebus. That’s just pathetic. If you want Johnny Walnuts to buy your a sweater in your favoritist color ever, just ask, you pussy! Don’t make him guess!

  10. “…Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy is the dumbest motherfucker in world history.”

    Yep, Douche-y’s got my vote.

  11. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 5:31 pm, September 30th, 2008

    spencer: Perhaps… but how does macho-pow-man McCain even know the word chartreuse?

  12. Kev-O-Tron says at 5:31 pm, September 30th, 2008

    That news show is a whole new caliber of douche. And “chartreuse?” That’s some elitist shit right there. REAL bitterz would have said “sea-green.”

    Also, Chartreuse is a tasty aperitif (I’m an elitist to the core so I should know.)

  13. Bay Area Blue says at 5:31 pm, September 30th, 2008

    I can’t believe McCain picked Blue as his favorite color. The Conservative Media Lemmings should be up in arms that their candidate is secretly Blue.

  14. Strictly for the Tardcore says at 5:32 pm, September 30th, 2008

    WALNUTS!’s favorite color is blue? Is WALNUTS! in the tank for Obama now, too? Why does WALNUTS! hate Republicans and, thusly, America?

  15. tonashideska says at 5:32 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Doosey’s favorite color is blue? Doosey’s a democrat?

  16. NoWireHangers says at 5:32 pm, September 30th, 2008

    The sound of WALNUTS! laughter is truly horrific. It chills my blood. Seriously.

  17. sanantonerose says at 5:33 pm, September 30th, 2008

    How cool would it be if McCain went apeshit and told Doocy what a stupidfuckingidiot he is?

    Almost cool enough to consider voting for him. Almost.

  18. ManchuCandidate says at 5:33 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Ron Burgundy = Steve Doochey?

  19. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:33 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Fox: you gotcha a retawd over der.

  20. BillyClubb says at 5:35 pm, September 30th, 2008

    You can go far in this world with a pretty face — even if you embarrass yourself every time you talk.

  21. mookworthjwilson says at 5:37 pm, September 30th, 2008

    I will say it again…I am so ashamed of my hometown, the town I grew up in, that this douchenozzle calls it home…ugh…

  22. Fox & Friends always makes me think of Fassbinder. He might as well have told McCain he had a 10″ cock for the reaction he got.

  23. SayItWithWookies says at 5:39 pm, September 30th, 2008

    That momentary silence wasn’t McCain being confused — it was him thinking, “Maybe Sarah could handle this one.”

  24. jrtoastyman says at 5:40 pm, September 30th, 2008

    blue? the folks in the red states are gonna be PISSED!

  25. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 5:41 pm, September 30th, 2008

    spencer: Looks more like Colonel-Mustard-yellow to me.

  26. Two words: Down Syndrome.
    Four more words: Steve Doocy has it.

  27. SayItWithWookies: Then realizing she would think it was some kind of dessert, probably produced by freedom-hating French foreigners who hate freedom and probably go backpacking.

  28. ky-jellydonuts says at 5:45 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Of COURSE, because there’s NO difference between not being able to answer a foreign policy outcomes question from a Random American Voter and not being able to answer a personal question that’s got no bearing on anything from a news foof.

    We could fund the bailout with a telethon to waterboard these people. I’ll send in the change in the couch cushions before the repo men haul it away.

  29. This has got to be some dogwhistle public mens room toe-tap. “Chartruese” means, like, party in your stall.

  30. ManchuCandidate says at 5:46 pm, September 30th, 2008

    During long scilence

    McCain: OMG! I think he’s a gay!
    Doochey: Why do birds poop on me?
    McCain: Think think think think.
    Doochey: I like going to the zoo and watch monkeys masturbating
    McCain: My god, I hate these long awkward pauses. Reminds me of Nam. Oh god NAAAAAAAAMMMMM!!!!
    Doochey: Next time, I’ll wear red. It brings out my eyes.

  31. chartreuse?

    damn french elitist. damn you walnuts…and that cunt-trollop you rode in on.

  32. I have to confess, I thought chartreuse was a shade of purple.

  33. He’s a brainless, shallow drone who should never be allowed on TV again.

    And the same goes for Steve Doocy.

  34. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:48 pm, September 30th, 2008

    ky-jellydonuts: We’re all douche bag fox pundits now.

  35. I bet he practiced the Stephen Colbert eyebrow in front of a mirror, under the impression that Stephen Colbert is a highly successful conservative television commentator.

  36. The beer heiress is getting a beating tonight…

  37. sk1win: How did the red/blue colors come about anyway? I thought red was bad like ‘Red China’ and communist flags and whatnot?

  38. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 5:52 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Lol! McCain’s contempt is all but palpable, and yes, he did just call Douchy a fag in not so many words.

    Oh, speaking of “gotcha journalism” and other empty marketing slogans, “let Sarah be Sarah” sounds like it’s going to be the next GOP talking point de jour. Buchanan kept spitting it out on Hardball. So repeat after me, O ye, brainwashed millions - Let Sarah be Sarah, Let Sarah be Sarah, Let Sarah be Sarah, Let Sarah be Sarah.

  39. druranium says at 5:53 pm, September 30th, 2008

    I like how at the end walnuts says “Thanks gang. Thanks for the tongue bathing.”

  40. Did I hear at the end they were in Des Moines? Seriously? Why? No real city has space for them? I hear Aljazeera in Doha has extra studio space (and ZERO taxes, woohoo!) Allu Akbar!

    (Eid Mubarek everyone)

  41. Freshly Minted Hobo Jack Mehoff says at 5:57 pm, September 30th, 2008

    At the end, WALNUTS! is all “thanks gang!” What a nice guy, playin it so cool with the media that he hates so bad now.

  42. Smoke Filled Roommate says at 5:59 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Ha ha.. Anyone remember this SNL classic? It took me forever to find it..

  43. sarahconnor says at 6:00 pm, September 30th, 2008

    aaargh McCrackers. Don’t feel sorry for him he is a robot, he doesn’t care!

    I was waiting for his head to explode; this R2 unit has a bad motivator.

  44. I know this is an election and there’s an economic meltdown and all, but HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
    Douchenozzle.

  45. The Jackson Five says at 6:01 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Doocy needs to give up and change the name of his show to “Mommy Issues” and only give interviews while curled up in the fetal position. It would make more sense for the viewers that way.

  46. chim chim the destroyer says at 6:03 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Someone should bash Doucheys head in with a rock….

  47. mikey mike says at 6:07 pm, September 30th, 2008

    I actually like McCain slightly more after that clip. I can’t quite say why.

  48. druranium says at 6:09 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Smoke Filled Roommate: A favorite! I was all of twelve when it was on teevee but I knew it was something special.
    Carvey does the nicknames and WRONG! with mastery. It develops a real fever pitch at the end there.

  49. AnnieGetYourFun says at 6:10 pm, September 30th, 2008

    spencer: Yeah, I think he did, too.

  50. RobPetrified says at 6:11 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Its just that type of “hard hitting” “TV journalism” that makes FOX “news” the number one rated “news” channel on the TV.
    Dan Rather, let alone Katie Couric, couldn’t have nailed Senator McCain the way Steve Doofey did.
    I wonder if any of the FOX faithful wonder why most of the female talking heads on the “news” channel look like Barbie dolls, while the men mostly look like your weird old uncle who smells bad and touches you in inappropriate places?

  51. Skwerl Nutz says at 6:11 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Chartreuse? ah..The color of Father Karras’ eyes before Satan took him to the dark side

  52. sanantonerose says at 6:22 pm, September 30th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: FULL retard.

  53. Itsjustme says at 6:23 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Hmmm. I don’t get it. If Douchy were say….Keith Olbermann, then McNodick would go running out screaming that he was being made fun of.

  54. Erm, they all laughed, so they all know that chartreuse is a color. Which was more cringe-inducing, the Colbert eyebrow attempt, or the attempt to cover up their knowledge of sissy elitist french colors?

  55. Actually, the reason McCain paused uncomfortably (more than he usually does before answering a question) was because a Fox intern was going down on him and that was his o-face.

    Was that inappropriate? That was probably inappropriate. My apologies to Wonkette and the world.

  56. Texan Bulldoggette says at 6:39 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Did Doocy & Bible Spice go to the same school of journalism? Brit Hume probably despises him & gives him swirlies in the toilet. Good God, they’ll put any moron on Fox, won’t they?

  57. Texan Bulldoggette says at 6:46 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Bulldoggette[/re]: Speaking of my last post: guess who may be looking for a job soon? A Survivor contestant with the intellect of an autistic horse fly on Fox News? Why not, they got Doocy.

  58. Anonymous Office Zombie:
    They already let Sarah be Sarah, much to my amusement.

  59. Texan Bulldoggette says at 6:49 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Texan Bulldoggette: Ooh, no offense to autistic people or horse flies intended.

  60. It’s like doddering old man trying to play with a room full of retarded children. Wait, that’s exactly what it is.

  61. Canuckledragger says at 6:58 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Every time ya think Fox has reached a zenith of stupid, Steve Dookie opens his mouth and… viola! A new epoch of stupid is upon us.

    shortsshortsshorts: Dave J.: sanantonerose: Check back in 40 years. Trig Palin will have Steve Dookie’s job. And be better at it.

  62. bitchincamaro says at 7:05 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Steve’s an anal wart. That’s all I got.

  63. rocktonsammy says at 7:06 pm, September 30th, 2008

    see what happens to tee vee congress and Wall St. when the jews take the day off, jews work at Fox right?

    USA USA USA

  64. I love the “aaaaarh” sound WALNUTS! makes at :10. What the hell is that, a combo laugh/scoff?

  65. Texan Bulldoggette says at 7:19 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Dave J.: That’s probably what’s left of his soul trying to escape.

  66. Steve Douchey. What else needs to be said.

  67. Meanwhile, Governor Palin is calling on the rightwingnut talk show circuit, where she talked about health insurance today.

    “We’ve gone through periods of our life here with paying out of pocket for health coverage until Todd and I both landed a couple of good union jobs.”

    GOOD UNION JOBS SAVED YOUR ELITIST REPUBLICAN ANTI-UNION BUTT?

  68. MoodProcessor says at 8:29 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Chartreuse - The Tranny Hooker of Dooky’s Dreams.

  69. ha ha ha and the fucking Chinese are flying to Uranus

  70. jasonelias says at 8:52 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Doocy’s been getting on my nerves since he was on WRC-TV, in DC. He was always annoying the only thing added to the fetid brew is his shitty politics.

  71. FindFuckandFlee says at 9:23 pm, September 30th, 2008

    here’s to doocy for yet again stumbling through the gate with an attempt to usurp fred willard’s awkward throne.

  72. wrenchdevil says at 9:24 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Douchey…I’d say a ‘colostomybag’ is more appropriate..full of shit.

  73. StripesAndPlaids says at 9:25 pm, September 30th, 2008

    I’ve seen this. And all I can say is:

    Holy Fuck.

    Do they pay people for this absolute shit?

  74. StripesAndPlaids says at 9:28 pm, September 30th, 2008

    Anonymous Office Zombie: I stayed up for days in the Chelesea Hotel, writin’ “Sad Eyed Lady of the Low Lands” for you. Sarah Oh Sarah!

  75. AutomaticPilot says at 9:41 pm, September 30th, 2008

    BillyClubb: but the sad thing is, he is pretty damn ugly. And a giant retard. And a sorry excuse even for a fake journalist. Makes me wonder if he has secret pictures of rupert murdock having teh buttsecks with a goat.

  76. Steve’s parent were originally going to name him Really.

  77. Serolf Divad says at 11:31 pm, September 30th, 2008

    OK, just got a chance to watch this, and all I can say is that the best part is probably when McCain starts smiling a goofy smile at the end there when he finally “gets it.”

  78. Steve Doocy knows comedy.

  79. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:18 am, October 1st, 2008

    Serolf Divad: Just watched it moments ago and YUP, there he is, sorting it all out in that poor, old mind.

  80. Sussemilch says at 9:23 am, October 1st, 2008

    Smoke Filled Roommate: Classic. Thanks for sharing :)

  81. mcfrady says at 9:30 am, October 1st, 2008

    Now we know who fathered Trig.

  82. Vewol Mevemont says at 9:33 am, October 1st, 2008

    I think this is called “dropping a doocy.”

  83. mcfrady says at 9:36 am, October 1st, 2008

    Borat: originally, blue was for the repugs and red for the demos but when cheney saw the colors on a teevee map, he thought the color red made it look like the demos were winning more states so than the repugs. he contacted the networks and had the colors reversed for future broadcasts.

  84. wilmawonker says at 11:16 am, October 1st, 2008

    ‘how do you use that in a sentence?’ GAH i hate people like that. at least make clever quips or be quiet, background people.

  85. heathenish says at 12:08 pm, October 1st, 2008

    ohmydearsweetlord!! every time i see that guys name i think it’s douchey (why isn’t it, btw?) anyway - is he trying to say asking princess sarah hard questions like what magazines she reads is equal to asking mccain what what douchey’s favorite color is, o(or that it’s like mind reading to be able to talk about foreign policy or something?)i agree how does douchey even get up in the morning? better - why does he get up?

  86. thefrontpage says at 12:41 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Why is Steve Doocy on the air? Why is the Fox cable television network on the air? Why are most of the people on the Fox cable channel on the air? Why does anyone besides about 430,000 deluded morons watch the Fox channel? And how does this channel stay on the air, since no one is watching and it apparently doesn’t make any money and is among the worst television journalism in the business. What a bunch of untalented, unjournalistic morons. And McCain should know better–but the fact that he doesn’t know better than to appear on this pile of crap shows he is just as moronic as everyone on that horrible channel. They are all just morons.

  87. blackdontcrack says at 1:37 pm, October 1st, 2008

    your favorite color is chartreuse? OH SNAP!! he told you sister girlfriend!

  88. OzoneTom says at 3:19 pm, October 1st, 2008

    Borat, mcfrady: True they are colors that have been used on TV (and earlier) electoral maps for some time. But there was no overall standard between network news organizations. In fact in 1980, NBC’s Reagan landslide map was almost solid blue.

    In the 2000 election they became cemented in people’s minds with the discussion and idea of “red states” and “blue states” so now the parties are pretty much stuck with what the standard was that year.

  89. crankypants says at 8:33 pm, June 14th, 2009

    Serially, where do they keep coming up with mutants like this? Steve Doocie, the self-anointed “weather guy” and political gadfly. Christ I can’t take it. Fux News, thank you!
