RNC chairman Reince Priebus visited On The Record last night for a discussion in which he predictably attacked President Obama over gas prices. What was a surprise was how host Greta Van Susteren ended the segment - by urging her viewers to go to her blog to view a “cute” photograph of Priebus’ son winning some kind of derby. All in the Fox News family!
As the discussion wound down, Van Susteren said, “Before we go, one last thing. If you go on GretaWire.com, you’ll see a Pinewood Derby – a young lad who did very well in the Pinewood Derby, your son. We have a picture of him up.”
Priebus, of course, was thrilled. He said something about having hoped to “win it all.” But Van Susteren interrupted to say enthusiastically, “Next year, next year!”
“It’s a great picture. Everyone can see it on GretaWire.com. It’s a cute picture,” she enthused.
This, just a few weeks after Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace surprised Republican Chairman of the House Budget Committee Paul Ryan with a birthday cake on the air.
It’s funny, but in the 7+ years that I’ve been watching and blogging about Fox News, I can’t recall a single birthday cake for or family photo of any Democratic guest.
Apologies for the video distortion. I have no idea why it came out like that. But you can get the point clearly.
RNC PR BS ?
Not since Lee Iacocca {"*I* *A*m *C*hairman *O*f *C*hrysler *C*orporation, *A*merica"} has there been a more apt name-occupation correlation . . .
