When I saw this at the office yesterday, I was in stitches. Fox News Channel's Neil Cavuto aired B-roll of a saucy Paris Hilton burger ad while talking with conservative talk show host and author Laura Ingraham about her complaints in her book Power to the People and elsewhere about how cable news networks tart up their programming with skin. Asked by Ingraham if he was rolling such B-roll, Cavuto denied it, but the look on his face was priceless. (video embed below fold)
It's nothing new for Neil, who has a penchant for incorporating scantily-clad women in B-roll in his eponymous "Your World w/Neil Cavuto" program, and/or interviewing in-studio Hooters waitresses and Victoria's Secret models, always finding some business news angle of course.
I was going to clip the video for the heck of it, but Allahpundit at Hot Air beat me to it. You can read his post here or see the embedded YouTube video clip below the fold.

September 19, 2007 - 13:31 ET by NewsbusterbrownThat Elvis and Britney were fat and thin at one time and both are from the South are about the only thing those two have in common.

Obviously not.
Come on, bal ... Admit it.
September 19, 2007 - 11:09 ET by drillanwrCome on, bal ... Admit it. Conservatives more easily poke fun at themselves than do liberals.
Depends on the liberal or
September 19, 2007 - 11:56 ET by balboaDepends on the liberal or conservative in question. Both have factions that take themselves way, way too seriously. You have to admit it's kinda weird that Cavuto actually has interviews with Hooters girls on his show. Doesn't quite fit, does it?
Hey, HOOTERS is a profit
September 19, 2007 - 12:09 ET by drillanwrHey, HOOTERS is a profit making business ... and we all know (as in Playboy's "articles") it's not so much the food, as the HOOTERS gals that bring in the business.
Uh-huh...I'm sure THAT's
September 19, 2007 - 14:06 ET by balboaUh-huh...I'm sure THAT's the reason he had them on: their business sense.
Now, bal ... Are you saying
September 19, 2007 - 15:03 ET by drillanwrNow, bal ... Are you saying HOOTERS girls aren't ... smart? Come on. Takes a decent I.Q. to take and deliver orders of wings, you know. ;^ )
Oh, I don't know, Bal....

Oh, I don't know, Bal. It sure beats the hell out of interviewing Helen Thomas. :-O

September 19, 2007 - 11:08 ET by Dave RHeads up, 'cause I just heard Neal Boortz say he was going to be on Cavuto's show this afternoon.
Wonder if Neil has anything unusual in store for Neal?

Fox News going to Hell..........................
September 19, 2007 - 12:47 ET by sembyTypical of Fox News these days.
They say they are fair and balanced. Fair maybe but not balanced if they show OJ 24/7.
It's too bad that Neil does not have the business acumen to attract views on that alone, but has to have this garbage on. He really insulted Laura Ingraham and if I were her I would never show up on his show again.
Obviously Neil is a lot like Larry Craig! Talks the conservative lingo but fails to live it!
Are you being served?

I'm guessing you either never got the pretty girl in High School, or you never were the pretty girl in High School. Envy is such an ugly thing sometimes.
