On The Kelly File last night, Megyn Kelly tried to use President Obama’s planned Vatican visit as yet another excuse to attack him. But thanks to the intemperate remarks of her Obama-hating guest, the segment is more likely to be remembered for his crude comments about sex education.

Kelly got the Obama bashing going in her introduction. She said that Obama’s visit is “raising some eyebrows with some of the folks following the story of the Little Sisters of the Poor and how the White House has gone to war with the nuns, not to mention several other religious groups, over the issue of making them offer birth control.”

Actually, Kelly, a lawyer, surely knows that the issue with the Little Sisters is their insistence that signing a certification saying they are entitled to a religious waiver is unduly burdensome. And nobody is being mandated to “offer” birth control. The mandate is for their health insurance to cover it.

Kelly’s sole guest for the segment was The Catholic League’s Bill Donohue. Kelly didn’t bother to tell the “we report, you decide” network’s audience that Donohue is a reactionary with a long history of religious antagonism toward the Obama administration.

And rather than balance her guest with challenge, Kelly prodded him with the “question,” “The president is going to sit down with Pope Francis. Is that awkward?”

Of course, it’s up to the Pope and President Obama to handle any awkwardness. But that didn’t stop Donohue from launching a diatribe against Obama. Kelly listened unquestioningly.

Too bad that the pope doesn’t have one of the Little Sisters of the Poor there, in the room with him and ask the president to look her in the eye and say, “I don’t think you’re a Catholic organization.” That’s what they’re (the Obama administration) saying.

As I explained above, that’s not what the Obama administration is saying. But Kelly, who promised not to be an opinion host but to work to “keep everybody honest” didn’t. Instead she “asked” if Obama’s trip wasn’t an attempt to win favor with Catholics who might be upset with him over the fight with the Little Sisters.

Donohue showed just what kind of Christian heart he has (not) by hoping the pope dresses down Obama rather than arrives at some kind of understanding:

I hope the pope looks him in the eye and says, “We have 50 million American people in poverty. 47 million on food stamps, the out-of-wedlock rate for the last five years is 41%. Things are getting worse under you, your tenure.”

Donohue continued by boasting about his work with the poor when he was younger. He said that “the greatest champions of the poor are the ones who punish the poor most of all.” Why? Because “They stand against (school) vouchers. If you are serious about inequality and poverty, you have to be in favor of vouchers,” Donohue said.

Then, apparently feeling free to say anything due to Kelly’s tacit approval, he continued:

If you’d send ‘em to Catholic school, not only would you get a good academic education, you might get a moral education. You might be able to tell the boys, …“Keep your fly up,” tell the girls to keep their knees together. Instead of learning how to put a condom on a cucumber – what they do in the public schools. That’s worked out real well.

Well, that was finally too much for Kelly. She groaned and then abruptly ended the interview. But, of course, she smiled sweetly and thanked Donohue.
