Is this the stupidest Fox Newsian of all?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is huge, huuuuuuge, competition in the race for stupidest Fox Newsian of all. But now that Andrea \u201cAmerica is awesome\u201d Tantaros<\/a> has been sidelined, another contender appears to be leading the idiot pack: Kimberly Guilfoyle.<\/p>\n

While Guilfoyle regularly spews a variety of nonsensical drivel, she managed to up her own considerable ante this week when she argued, wait for it, that when Donald Trump dubs Elizabeth Warren \u201cPocahontas\u201d in their ongoing Twitter feud, it actually can be seen as a compliment. \u201cI said I wanted to be Pocahontas one time,\u201d Guilfoyle reasoned this week in a telecast, bizarrely bringing up her own, one hopes, childhood to make her case. \u201cI get the way he\u2019s saying it,\u201d she bravely persevered, \u201cbut I think \u2018Pocahontas\u2019 is quite complimentary when you think about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, no, Kimberly, when you think about it, even for a millisecond, it is entirely offensive and not at all a compliment, and saying so is simultaneously nuts and offensive, for starters because it conflates all Native Americans into one stereotypical persona (based on an actual historical figure) popularized by a Disney movie.<\/p>\n

Trump loves to ridicule the fact that Warren\u2019s great-great-great grandmother<\/a> was Native American, and that Warren is 1\/32 Cherokee. He will also likely never ever tire of making this hilarious joke. He likes to call her \u201cGoofy Elizabeth,\u201d which Guilfoyle has yet to defend as \u201cquite complimentary when you think about it,\u201d but stay tuned. It\u2019s quite possible that maybe Guilfoyle longed to be Disney character Goofy when she was young.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Kimberly, a former Victoria’s Secret model, was hired as a Faux Noise<\/em> bimbette to exercise her non-journalistic talent to keep Bubba Bagger drooling in a hypnotic trance long enough for the brighter pundits to fill his small brain with Republican propaganda.  This is only the fourth of five insane Republican moments listed for last week alone.  Click through for the other four.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
