You know that guy who is on that morning cartoon show for meth moms, Fox & Friends? Not Doocy, the other one … the guy with the little squinty eyes and the drive-in theater screen forehead? Yeah, that guy … the special needs one. Well this morning they let him do an interview all by himself, without the training wheels or anything, and it was glorious and informative;
“Fox and Friends” still has beef with President Obama’s comments about small businesses. On Tuesday, the show turned to the ultimate source to prove its point: two little girls who run a lemonade stand.
[...]
On Tuesday, “Fox and Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade turned to four-year old Eliza and seven-year old Clara Sutton to ask if they had government help when they founded their lemonade stand.
“Who helped you start this business?” Kilmeade wanted to know. Later, he asked, “Clara, how do you feel about the President saying that you needed help to start this business? And just speak from, speak from within.”
When Eliza yawned, he turned to Clara. “I would say that’s rude because we worked very hard to build this business,” she replied. “But we did have help.”
“And your help came from?”
“Our help came from our investors, our dad and stepmom, along with other friends and family.”
Good job Not Steve Doocy guy for your interview of an obviously coached four-year old and a seven-year old! That was not stupid or painfully awkward or creepy at all and for once you almost appeared to be smarter than your guests.
Sean Hannity is going to be so jealous.

Sooooooooooooooo…. they didn’t do it alone, then? Right?
My gawd that was painful to watch.
And, ummmm, don’t lemonade stand customers usually come from people driving or walking by on *roads*?
So mom and dad grew the lemon tree, purified the water that came from the well they dug, and paved the road in front of the house? Where did the sugar cane come from? Their uncle’s plantation in Barbados?
I’m curious as to the business’ location; I’m guessing the girls’ lemonade stand wasn’t set up beside a rutted dirt track. In fact, I know it wasn’t, because in the picture of their stand I can see paving. I wonder how it got there?
Also, too: you gotta love that the 7-year old was savvy enough not offer employment to Brian Kilmeade, thereby showing a wisdom that far outstrips both Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes combined. I was impressed by the way her “creepy old guy trying to insinuate himself – deflect to parents” radar kicked in.
What’s the point of the interview? Are they trying to prove that they are simpletons or are they trying to be funny and failing miserably?
Has anybody seen the “Boondocks” episode about investing in the Lemonade Stand?
Those Girls had better watch their backs around their investors!
It’s amazing that these girls managed to build a lemonade stand with absolutely no help from the government. The amount of effort it must have taken for them to process and purify their own water, build the structures needed to bring lemons and sugar to their market, deliver the electricity needed to produce their ice, and building the modern transportation network needed to get their customers to their lemonade stand. Incredibly impressive.
So, the point being that Obama might give them help obtaining loans, while Willard would outsource the lemonade-making, bitch about paying them minimum wage, deny then health care, all the while running up a massive debt while paying himself a massive salary as the job creator-boss, then file for bankruptcy and stiff creditors?
I, too, was impressed that Big Sister was wary of creepy old guy asking to come and work for them and sending him to her dad. But I still don’t believe that this cute kid came up with “investors signed a confidentiality agreement” spontaneously. Don’t you hate it when over-coaching spoils the whole premise you’re trying to put forth?
Since it’s funny I wouldn’t go with it being intentionally so. Good lord rightwingers are the least funny people I’ve ever met.
You are right, I should have been careful to distinguishing between making a joke and being a joke.
I blame the NCAA.
(‘I blame the NCAA’ is the new ‘I blame Obama. Pass it on.)
Really cute kids, however what a pathetic interview. Typical of Fox? Now using children to make a point that backfired.
It must be nice when your investors are your parents and use you, coach you to make political points on a media outlet, which has a clear political agenda while misrepresenting what was really said. A new low for low hanging fruit!!!!
Nice Fassbinder reference.
Probably both.
Hopefully they don’t accept money in exchange for their lemonade, well, unless they built their own financial system also too…
Oh Ye of little faith!
Don’t you know God created the highways, sewers, and electrical grid at the same time he hid all the fossils in the ground, painted those caves, and stacked all those rocks.
Silly atheists.
I love the smell of yellow
lemonspeople getting squeezed in the morning.I expect to represent those girls by 8am EDT, and I demand you take down those pictures, pending further communications from me.
I said this on another site, and I’ll say it here.
When these two make $63 billion in profits from a street-corner lemonade stand, this argument might just mean something.
Par for the course from Brian Kil-Journalism.
I am not sure, but I think he may be out his league with this interview. He needs to stick with frying eggs on the sidewalk during the summer and sticking his tongue to light posts in the winter.
Seems like a feller could make a fortune frying eggs and shit on his “drive-in theater screen forehead”
Goes to show you. Most people who agree with wingnuttery haven’t reached puberty yet.
I’m guessing that these girls aren’t paying any taxes, either. Where is the rightwing/teatard POUTRAGE NOW??
Yup, branging ‘em up riiiight.
Maybe the litte girls were home schooled. They obviously never heard a presentation from Officer Friendly advising them to blow a loud whistle and run as fast as they can if they are ever approached by anyone like Killmeade.
Not Doocy has finally found his niche. Interviewing children
She was reading from a teleprompter!! Oy.
Basic rule of lemonade economics – you don’t sell lemonade to other kids, you sell it to adults. Kids would usually run home and get lemonade for free rather than shell out some of their relatively rare quarters.
The best place to sell to adults is if you catch them walking home, so you set up your stand right by the commuter bus stop. There, you can find people who are willing to spend a quarter on a cup of sugar water because of the “isn’t that cute” factor
Commuter bus stops exist because of commuter buses. Commuter buses exist because of government spending. Therefore these red diaper babies are hell-bent on destroying our god-given capitalist way of life!
