The thought-free muppets who host Fox News’ illiterate dementia variety hour Fox and Friends briefly mentioned the actual news nugget about the unveiled U.S. Olympic Team outfits today — they’re made in China, har har — but spent considerably more time examining the team’s hat wear: berets. Like all the fruity poets and mimes in France wear, amirite? Just imagine if these berets were green. How foo-foo mcgay would green berets be?
Steve Doocy cut right to the bone with his analysis. Why can’t les compétiteurs des États-Unis wear baseball caps or cowboy hats? Why can’t they put apple fucking pie on their heads?
DOOCY: Should the American team be wearing a beret? Why not a baseball cap? Why not a cowboy hat like when we went to Calgary?
After minutes of such mockery, Doocy does offer this counterpoint:
Fox’s mockery of the “French” headgear continued until they received “a lot of email” from viewers pointing out the military connection to the Olympic team’s headgear, forcing co-host Steve Doocy to make a disclaimer: “There is a team that’s already wearing a Beret for America, and that’s the special forces guys, and they look great.”
What a horrendous television show (that we watch because Morning Joe isn’t as hate-funny and also we hate ourselves.)

"Well only if Steve Doocey says it's OK." – US Army Special Operations Command.
Yeah, oops. Come on Steve Doocy and Not Steve Doocy. I dare you to tell the Green Berets, SEALs and Delta their berets are foo foo McGuay. I dare you.
Or Mary Tyler Moore!
MTM vs. Douchy would be the most one-sided celebrity deathmatch ever. She'd mop the floor with him.
Is MTM gonna have to cut a bitch?!
Shit, I dare Douchey to say that to the girl in the Prince song.
Word. Fox 'n' Friends, will you explain to me why you hate the troops?
The words of Man struggle to capture this utter stupidity.
Everything Doocy knows about military uniforms he learned from watching F-Troop.
Pat Tillman: faggy french guy
Well he was a liberal and an atheist, so not a real American then.
Uh Oh!
Conspiracy Nut Alert!
Pat Tillman was studying Socialism(!).
And that may be why he was shot in the forehead at close range.
and i am serious.
They already think that without the beret. Pat had a lot of sharp opinions about America.
Wife beaters with Chef-boyardee stains would have been more representative.
And that's just for the ladies.
No, ladies go topless.
You're welcome, boys.
*curtsies*
with backwards baseball caps and camo pants.
WHY DOES FOX NEWS HATE THE TROOPS!?!!
And we should rename french fries douchefries. And french toast should be called french Romney.
Delicious toasty bread libel!
Oh I think Mayo on White Bread should be called the Rmoney.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, mayo!? Ease up on the spices there, mister!
That is good, most good, mon wookie.
So Doocy has the hots for special ops dudes.
Huh.
Guess he doesn't want to see or hear them coming …
Then he should just lie facedown on the bed and leave the door unlocked.
Top hats FTW!
Oh fuckety fuck.
Yakkety Sax?
Yea, no real American has ever worn a beret
Know who else didn’t wear a beret?
Jeebus, thats who. He wore his hair too long to fit in a beret.
Or this one.
Terminate Doocy's gig on F&F. With extreme prejudice…
The whorer…the whorer….
More Meta than OT: How does this post state that it had 5 comments, but only 2 views?
Fucking math—how does it work?
It's up to 27 and 2 now.
I've long suspected that Wonkette consisted of exactly two people: me, and Barb with a million sockpuppet accounts.
Today I have proof.
Jeff would disagree.
Oops.
Wait, I am not real? Do I begin to fade to transparent soon? Is there a Rod Serling voice over?
Yes, I am actually Barb who recently started following Butch_Wagtaff who is myself, Barb. And now I'm following YOU as Butch_Wagstaff.
I know. Mind. Blown.
Right?
Heyyyyy…
That's for the people who aren't actually reading the article, but just say the first thing that comes to their mind in the comments.
Oh, that's just me?
No, I do that too. All the information you need is in the headline.
If it's anything related to the gay, all I have to do is read the headline. The comments write themselves.
No gold this year. They want to look like cheese eating surrender monkeys then all is hopeless.
Look, I understand Doocey's hatred of The Green Berets. The movie sucked. It was fat old John Wayne pretending Alabama was Vietnam and asking why the local villagers don't speak English.
Last time I was in Alabama they didn't speak english.
You might should watch yer mouth or I'm gonna get ill. ILL!
What's this about a Romboto gain on Independents? "Independents" like Baba Ganoush O'Reily?
Doesn't most of the army wear those kinds of berets? http://www.army.mil/asu/
Why does does FOX News hate America?
I can't believe how fucking stupid these FOX and friends mopes are.
Yep, and the switch actually pissed off some Special Forces types since they saw it as all the the lesser troops getting in on their cool club. But they still get to wear their own fancy versions.
I love the "South Park-ey" vibe of that video!
Ummm…not to mention every damn soldier in the US Army wears them (unless they're wearing Kevlar helmets to help stop bullets).
It just gives the lie to the implied super-patriotism of FOX on-air "talent" that they have never bothered themselves to look at their own news footage or an Army website to find out that every fucking soldier gets a beret!
Now there's an idea! The US Olympic Team should wear kevlar helmets!
Don't tell Barry Sadler!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5WJJVSE_BE
Um y'know, Doocy? You might want to rethink the whole "beret" issue.
Cuz, um, Mitt Romney approves.
(Disclaimer: I only know this because I own one)
That's no beret, that's a tocque, eh.
Sir, I have known toques. I have worn toques. That, sir, is no toque.
Bro it's a skully, bro, srsly. Bro.
Fat pants, XXXL T-Shirts with angels and baseball hats should the formal American Olympic uniform.
And a fanny pack
Don't forget the Crocs!
With socks!
And giant chunky pedophile glasses, because they still want the hipsters to watch ironically.
Why not, it seems to be the formal attire in America for most situations?
Oh please. Pick.
If I had never actually been in a Wal-Mart, I would think that people responsible for that site were just fucking with us.
But I have been in a Wal-Mart more times than I'd like to admit.
Baseball caps worn backwards.
Yellow Twitty Bird holding a coffe cupT shirt that says I Hate Mornings for the girlz. Plain white wife beaters for the boyz
Too old-school blah.
For sale: Steve Doocy logic rifle. Never fired, only dropped once.
I got 99 problems, and a beret ain't one.
I think they should go full American. Wear cheese hats. Complemented by Big Gulp hats. Extra-large-order-of-fries hats. Giant-stack-of-pancakes-with-a-side-of-bacon hats.
Or those beer helmets!
No one hat represents America. We are a melting pot. In fact, a sombrero filled with chips and melted cheese sounds pretty good right now.
Mmmmm. Nacho hat.
I get this image of a horrible munching death at the petting zoo. I don't know why.
And giant foam #1 hands.
Did any of these three stooges tell us the results of the Chamber of Commerce survey?
42
Family Guy FTW.
All of them, Katie.
It's all Obama's fault.
I actually think the entire Army wears berets – wasn't there a controversy among Rangers when everyone got them?
Of course when would a Fox host ever have met an actual US service member?
In their defense, it would be hard to see the kind of hat someone is wearing through a glory hole.
You are correct on both points. The Rangers used to wear black berets, and switched to tan when the entire Army got black berets. Paratroopers wear red, Special Forces green, Rangers tan, everybody else black.
That's kind of a sharp blazer, btw; be picking up one of those cheap on eBay in about six months.
That's gayer than a clutch bag at the Tony Awards. I mean, the Fox & Friends crew and not the kicky little beret`.
How does this effect Bristol Palin?
I did like Doocy’s idea of competitors going topless it might even get me to watch archery.
Synchronized trampoline. It's a real sport!
Synchronized swimming might actually pull….ratings.
God, why won't they add trampolining to the Olympics, already?
We should take up a collection to buy appropriate headgear for Fox News talking heads.
Dunce caps can't be too expensive, even if they're made in the USA.
Give a FOX host a dunce cap, and he's got a dunce cap for a day — teach a FOX host to make his own dunce cap and you've got a potentially serious accidental scissors wound for the rest of his life.
Do they have hats that look like buttocks?
Would they cover the faces, though? And the mouths?
I think they should all sport a Fez.
Fuck hats altogether. You wanna be a REAL American, Olympic athlete? Wear a goddamned Kardashian on your head.
I thought they were more "lap" accessories, so to type.
My bad. I didn't specify which head.
"Why not a baseball cap? Why not a cowboy hat like when we went to Calgary?"
Wait, so Fox wants our team to look like either a bunch of fratboy assholes or giant morons?
'either a bunch of fratboy assholes or giant morons?'
Fratboy assholes and giant morans are not mutually exclusive.
True, baseball and cowboy hats just indicate different breeds of moranic assholes.
I'm amazed they didn't suggest sombreros so we could look like assholes at spring break Cancun.
Exactly!
Where I come from, if you ain't both of these things, you ain't shit.
wait…what's your problem with baseball hats? I played baseball for nearly my entire youth. Besides, Doocy is a dumb pussy…everyone knows real 'Merikans sport NASCAR trucker hats. The actual uniform would be NASCAR trucker-hat, stained wifebeater with long sleeved flanel and gold plated chain with a cross on the end. Then they could have a pair of Wranglers with a giant gold belt buckle and torn up black steel-toed workboots…now that's a real 'Merikan. Just saying…but I think you're being insultingly generic with the whole baseball cap thing…
F'ing frogs on a stick, why would anyone watch that show.
I think to be truely american they should come in on hover rounds waving truck nutz.
I'm with you on this.
But only if they make truck nuts into the medals.
I think someday soon Curtis Sliwa is going to whoop Steve Doocy's ass.
Steve Doocey's preferred headgear is the asshat. And he wears it well.
They're not berets, they're freedom hats.
DAMMMMNNNN YOU BIGDOG!!!!!!!!!
Who is that closeted Kilmeade wannabe fooling with his faux-hatred of Ralph Lauren?
Oh, I guess you probably expect me to pronounce "faux" like the French do, now?
They will look great as they come in last in every single event.
FREEDUMB BEANIES!!!!!
Yeah, I know I always take fashion advice from FAUX News.
Ouch, the stupid, it burns…
Well, you see, it's different with the special forces guys – they're just so . . . butch.
Hate to repeat a comment, but this show, too, is ret**ded.
As is their audience.
Please tell me the gang over there at Fox used this to make a joke about the Gay Olympics. Please.
How about Top Hats, tuxedos, walking sticks and have Mitt-cash stuffed into their pockets and orifices? They should also act cockily as if the games are fixed and sneer and refuse to play with the poorer countries.
What could be more American?
Fuck-n-a, Bubba! Doocy's right again. We need truckers hats, wife-beaters, and jorts. MURIKA!!!
What kind of hat will Steve Doocy be wearing when he competes in the Special Olympics?
Oh yeah, I went there. I fucking live there.
They're not berets! They're "Freedom Fedoras" damn it!!!!!!
I will be finally happy when the union thugs who film that shit, catch Doochy and Killjoy buttfucking in the dressing room.
Though my favorite line is when she says "you have to pronounce it [berets] the French way". What would the American way to pronounce it be, "bear-it"?
Bert.
Barrettes, like the girl's hair clip.
Red Barchetta
Beretta [M9]
Nothing says "former Super Power" like ordering your Olympic gear from China.
It used to be worse. It used to be from Canada.
It's ironic that Fox would ask it's viewers, "What do you think?' since there entire reason for being is to tell their viewers what to think.
First they tell them, then there's a quiz. What's your problem?
To be fair, this is exactly what Ed Schultz does. lol I love his +90% results agreeing with what he just set up.
Vaguely amused by the confidence with which they declare their entirely Americanized pronunciation to be the how you "have to pronounce it … because that's the French way".
Can we just talk about how boring the Olympics are and how crazy the IOC is about copyrights (they're even shutting down clips of NBC shows on YouTube that happen to show the rings logo) and mostly about how boring the Olympics are. It's a rare opportunity to unite conservatives and liberals.
I haven't watched the Olympics since the one twenty years ago, way back when I was in high school. Not missing much.
Hah. Every time an American fails to win gold, a thousand wingtards will be foaming at the mouth about how it's Obama's fault.
I remember my dad pulling me in front of the TV when I was, like, 12 and saying "Annie, you need to watch this. It's the Olympics, and they are special because they only happen once every four years."
As far as I can tell, that is the ONLY thing remarkable about the Olympics, from a viewer's standpoint.
Needz moar dressage horsey hats.
Ah dressage, making rhythmic gymnastics and ballroom dancing look like legitimate sports.
That's putting it mildly. It even makes ordinary equestrian jumping look like a legitimate sport.
It would be OK, if they gave the medals to the horses, instead of to the horses' asses.
Thanks for the Steve Doocy topless image…
Still waiting for that pack of Shetland ponies..
If Douchy had his way, the Olympic Village would be a trailer park.
These people are fucking morons.
Back in 2002, when Salt Lake hosted the Olympics, the Olympic team wore these berets. They were so fucking popular in red Utah that prices spiked from $20 to $100 and they instantly became a collectors item. If you had one, you could probably get any woman to do anything to you. If you didn't, you were shunned like a leper, or Mitt Romney at last call.
They were huge. They looked good. They were stylish. Trendy. People loved 'em.
They started here. In Utah. Back in '02. And red state asswipes gobbled 'em up like they were the last Prozac on the market.
Obama's fault
Steve Doocy may be the dumbest motherfucker on TV — dumber than any member of the Jersey Shore cast. I'm halfway convinced he's a performance artist working along with Jon Stewart.
"foo foo mcgay" is my new favorite phrase and I look forward to using it whenever possible.
That's so foo foo mcgay to say that.
I know you are, but what am I?
This coming from a guy you just know was disappointed when he found out the urban sombrero only existed in a sitcom.
Can't the editors find any stories about politicians assfucking interns, like in the old days? These stories about Fox news just bum me out.
Well, if we wore cowboy hats to Calgary, then we need some proper British headwear for London. Um, bowlers? The giant hats that the ladies were to Ascot?
Girls wear crowns, boys wear those tall police hats.
They'll wear a fez; fezzes are cool.
The owners of Akbar and Jeff's Compact Disk Hut agree 100%
Because they're disk-shaped and because we have made a compact with the devil.
Thanks for the flashback.
How about tinfoil hats? The Faux News crowd certainly ought to approve.
Now THAT’s a win.
Wait, so they have something in common with many of us Wonket?
Mr. Doocy can you say "Chiến dịch Phụng Hoàng"?
/ reaches for whetstone and ka-bar
Next they will be arguing that we should have our soldiers go back to steel pots, because Kevlar is for wussies.
Tomorrow the Faux crew will all be wearing berets and bitching because Obama isn't wearing one to support the team.
As I recall, and perhaps I don't drink quite as much as these guys, perhpas the most famous photo of Pat Tillman had him sporting one of those Frenchy hats. Zoot Allures!
Fox N Friends are just jealous because berets won't fit over the special helmets that they have to don as soon as they are off the air.
The fucking bullshit these dumbasses get their panties in a wad about never ceases to amaze me. Honestly, HATS? Y'all are clutching your pearls over HATS? Jesus Christo.
Speaking of which, you know who speaks French and avoided a war?
Okay, "Hitler" is definitely not gonna work here.
Draft dodgers who moved to Québec?
THBPBPTHPT!!
You know who else was from Texas? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:BonnieParkerCig…
Uh….why is my comment "waiting to be approved", Wonkette? I didn't use the Palin simile, or threaten to skull-frack anybody…so what the hell?
They should wear I'm with Stoopid T shirts
I don't think the American Olympic team should wear les pantalons either.
Nude, just as the Greeks intended.
Oh god, yes! Especially the 5'2" of yummy muscles that is Jonathan Horton.
Amazing. The question "Just how stupid are the Twit Triumvirate at Fox and Friends” gets a new answer five days a week. It's the closest thing we have to perpetual motion.
And I’m willing to bet that with as much time as they spend putting their foot in their mouth, Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy now exclusively purchase shoes that are edible.
The show that I sometimes hate-watch because my wife insists on getting her TomKat Divorce news, Inside Edition just said that the French Fried Queens that make up our olympic team also wore the same berets at the Utah Olympics. I would expect a little more Historical Perspective from a show of the caliber of Fox & Friends.
You mean, the Olympics that Romney is so proud of having salvaged from the ashes?
Oh, that was HIM? He just locked up the Rants House vote.
Aha! you can't say "p_ssy"! anymore, either…even if Steve Doocy is the posterchild for the male version…that's a shame since I love to call those suburban-bitch titted wingnut "toughguys" that word regularly…I suppose c*nt is out, too? Even when referring to Palin?
Did I miss some new phony flap wonkette has gotten pulled into to make you guys act like chickenshits in the face of rampant wingnuttery like the Stuef incident again? Just wondering why we're being censored even more to comment on this site…
They overruled Mitt R'money plan for U.S. athletes to wear a top hat and a monocle for the 2002 Winter Olympics opening ceremony. Yet still, the gear is likely be made in China.
Well, a part of Washington that might as well be Texas.
They also totally seemed to have forgotten when the team wore berets a few winter olympics back. But, is that really a surprise?
Fox & Friends Has All Sorts of Problems With
These Olympic Team BeretsLogic, Semantics, Grade 2 Math, Cause & Effect, & Which Comes First, "Wipe" Or "Flush"fixtit4u
the whole [hehe hole] uniforms look likkke they were made by Hugo Boss cerca1940s.
Fascist as hell!
Wait? Fox News said Special Forces are French and Gay????
NOTHING A GOOD PIMP SLAPPING WON'T FIX
The best part was when the blond moron said "I suppose we better pronounce it the French way, beret!" I would like ask her what the fuck the American way to pronounce 'beret' is?
