Fox Business Network anchor Dagen McDowell made her case against a new tax on Wall Street bonuses funded by the government by comparing it to sexual abuse.
McDowell: "You don't want to think if you get in bed with Uncle Sam he's going to strip you naked, chain you to the bed, leave you there and then take nasty pictures of you and then put them on the internet."
Wow, just wow.

Now I know why Fox Business Network is #28 out of 3 Business Networks on TV. Let's see here... There is CNBC (CramerNBC) and Bloomburg and Fox Business Network. Yup, #28 out of the three.
This passes for news?
On what planet?
foreplay (by the repuglican definition of the word).
when your getting a hand out, you don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Fricken insane to argue these people who bankrupt their companies have any say in their compensation.
They only exist because the government thinks zombie banks is way to go, I say withdraw the money, let them fail, now they have nothing to bitch about. Bankruptcy works, then competent money will take them over.
Can't help but wonder how this plays among the red-meat red-state dittoheads that make up Fox's main audience. The recession has arguably hit them harder than anyone.
Do working-class conservatives struggling to keep their homes and jobs (if they haven't already lost them) really have any sympathy with the poor managers at AIG?
Doubtful. But then again, never underestimate the stupidity of Republicans.
ignorance about sexual violence????
Makes me think that everyone (including me) who's tried to educate people on issues of sexual violence still have so much more work to do! :(
Damn good point, Annaleigh! Anyone who's ever experienced sexual violence is not going find that comment too damn funny.
I have and I didn't find it funny at all!
Fox...the STD saturated, crack whores of cable television. What a total waste.
"Wow, just wow." is right!
Where do they find these nut cases? Or do they make them. What kind of drugs can even make someone so crazy?
Sometimes come in paper form, like acid, and other times is pumped straight into the system, ala direct deposit.
Just when I think they can't say something more stupid at Faux News, someone proves me wrong.
Do these guys run a contest every morning to find the "Stupidest Person on the Network" for that day?? Capt. K has it right..number 28 out of 3...
"strip you naked, chain you to the bed, leave you there and then take nasty pictures of you and then put them on the internet"
I thought only O'Reilly did that.
like one of his novels doesn't it? Maybe she was reading from one of them.
Yeah and then O'Reilly abuses you with a falafel.
talk about projecting. What a strange comparison.
That was a little too detailed for mere hyperbole. Errr, make that analogy?
n/c
that crosses their minds that they think might get them some attention or notoriety they just spew out. And what in what context does this compare??? Another Fox F*ckhead.
"Nicely stated. See you later."
Ew!
Google: McDowell bed Uncle naked chain pics
Who is Dragon McDowell? I never heard of her.
From the looks of that picture she would scare the dragon spit out of me. :>(
Is it me or does she sound like she speaks from experience?
Got to go. Got some Googling to do...
Is it a personal fantasy of hers?
Almost certainly. Re-Thugs are all cut from the same mold.
They're Sociopaths

Wow! That analogy was a hell of stretch. Why would anyone make it?
Is that the way she looks at life through some sort of sexual abuse glasses? Then to yuck it up is just disgusting.
What does it say about what these Fox people think of their audience with worthless crap like that?
Will eat up this worthless sex-loaded crap. That's why they use it. And when they aren't using these awful (and to my mind, dangerous) violent sexual analogies to describe something that has nothing to do with sex, they are showing images of bikini-clad spring-breaking women jiggling on the beach. Sick, sick, sick.
fox business is so LAME. when are they going to learn we're bored with their "shock and awe" sexual comments. oh by the way thanks for watching fox so i don't have to.
Can you imagine what a sick fuck Ailes is? He must rival O'Lielly.
"Make a perverted sexual analogy every chance you get."

The AIG execs, in taking the bonuses, were wearing provocative clothing and drinking with a fake ID on a dangerous street late at night. The government taxing them -- why, they were ASKING for it!!!
"You don't want to think if you get in bed with Uncle Sam he's going to strip you naked, chain you to the bed, leave you there and then take nasty pictures of you and then put them on the internet."
Eh?Oh yeah..er..right.That would be bad.
I also wouldn't want anything to do with oils or handcuffs or leather.
Or spankings.Definitely not spankings.
"and then, the oral sex!"
Anyone? Castle Anthrax?
Everybody gets a good spanking . . . .

I prefer the term 'silky restraints'.
;)
And Bill "John Boy" Hemmer laughs at her comments, saying, "well stated."
What's with these Faux Fcks? The name of John Boy and Megyn's show is "America's Newsroom," and you see the "Fair and Balanced" logo in the background...it's neither news, nor is it "fair and balanced". John Boy and Megyn very often give their own personal opinion/slant on what they are "reporting.
I never did like John Boy.
Did you see Megyn the other morning when she went after the guy from ACORN? She acted like an idiot as she kept insisting that people from ACORN should not be going door to door taking the census. The guy kept trying to tell her how ACORN was participating in the census by using their website, but she just kept yelling at him and finally she just cut him off.
After this all took place Hemmer told her how great she had been in dealing with the guy and she just sat there and smiled with ignorant pride.
I did see when Megyn went after that ACORN guy.
She's on some sort of a power trip.
I knew something was wrong about Hemmer when he was on CNN. I really do not like him.
Right wing pundits and politicians are never held to account for whatever ridiculous crap they may spew today. Yet, their left to moderate counterparts are castigated routinely for what they are stereotypically assumed to think or for words put in their mouths by right wingers. It's called liberal media bias.
...at C&L.
Sounds like she's already planning a date...
With me.
she's projecting her desires.
Fox, "Can I hear an Amen"!
"Saying AMEN after prayer is like hitting the ENTER key." :-P
[Graham Kendall]
Methinks McDowell will be getting a "special" phone call from Billo soon.
Maybe she already did and that's why this analogy came to her mind.
If she did I think she would have slipped some Middle Eastern food into it.
I think she's just transferring.
The right wing media has to figure out they can label Obama a 'socialist' when his adminstration is giving so much of the public money to corporations and rich people.
Is this trickle down socialism?
It seems to me that Dagan McDowell does.
Project much honey?

don't be a fresh girl. ;o)
Professor Glenn Beck came on tonight to teach us advanced economics but when he brought out John Bolton, even I couldn't stomach that.
Fox does one thing right, they recycle. The have the same people on all the time and just rotate them around. Beck pops up on the morning show sometimes and sometimes on BillO's show. Then once in a while, BillO shows up on Glenn's show. It's like musical chairs except when the music stops there are always enough chairs for everyone.
it's not fun . . or cute.
Is that why they always "sit on it"?
I found her pictures on the internet but nothing with chains . . yet.
Well, keep us posted ;)
... the guys are ON this one.

No doubt.
From her website (I'm really not making this up!)
DAGAN McDOWELL
In one word: Sassy!
Think: Delta Burke-esque southern straight-shooter, minus the extra chins.
Favorite food: Grits and collard greens, we’re guessing.
Prospects: “If you’re getting more sex,” she asked a guest sexpert while Connell McShane sat close by, “do you think that’ll make you a better employee because you’re more relaxed at work and easier to deal with?”
with or w/o the "extra chins."
Christ, this wannabe reminds me of all the girls that grew up in Sheridan Beach, at the north end of Lake Washington. They were universally known as 'Beach Bitches' in Jr hi and High school. Which is just about where this woman's mental and emotional development stopped. Jr High, I mean.
The voice is just awful. I thought at the beginning of the clip that she was Australian, but then I realized it was straight Arkansas.
She just doesn't seem smart enough to maintain an accent though. I don't know how that's possible, but that's what I got from that clip.
At that site you linked it says she used to date Rush. Okay, that has my mind spinning even faster about her comment
it shouldn't be...Rush may "date" women but he (allegedly) likes to save the kinky stuff for the boys
I have had such thoughts about Dagan.
Must I go to hell?
No, just hang around and if the republicans get their way, hell will come to your front door and pick you up.
I'm a goner.
Sorry.
Male hormones.
You thought that picture of her on the page you linked was pretty? I mean there are some very pretty, if totally dumb, women on tv who I can see would appeal to men, but her?
anxiously waiting for me to comment on the matter... ;)
Um...ok...here goes...
She's FUGLY...as is FUCKIN ugly...total leather face goin on.
...GAH!
I'd have to be smashed outta my mind to think she was hot.
I've seen sexier women at last call at Caribbean Club at 4am on a tuesday!
Yikes!
on the other hand, you get caught turning tricks and go to your Uncle Sam to make bail don't be surprised if your name gets printed in the paper.
the more I think that keeping her chained to the bed ain't such a bad idea. She can keep the pictures.
Didn't these wackos recently come out of the closet and admit they are propagandists working against the United States and the President? Why they are even taken seriously enough to repeat, I will never understand.
AIG is not "in bed with" the government, you twit. AIG's equity is majority owned by the People of the United States. As an owner, I'm very happy to have a say in who gets paid what, especially if those getting paid these huge sums are directly responsible for AIG's collapse (not to mention the collapse of the whole banking system).
If he were talking about AIG and what they're doing to the taxpayer.
for the sake of America.
but Dagen's dress is very unflattering. It has weird sleeves and it bunches up around her chest.
What is it about repub women and their bizarre fashion choices? Cindy McCain trotted out some real gems during the election.
but yes! It does look terrible on her! Makes her look very awkward. Maybe she's trying to pack too much into too little fabric?
Edit - And Repub women have lost their fashion way, I gotta tell ya (as someone who's seen of the very nice political jewelry they had back in the 50's and 60's).
Fox needs to go ahead and take the word "News" out of its title. Call it: Fox WTF Channel.
(of course I didn't watch the vid.) Taking the AIG bonuses was like robbing your kid's piggy bank. Anything for a buck, eh?
(That's proper Canadian usage of "eh".)
you see, she said Uncle Sam would do those things when in fact the producer told her later that the teleprompter was supposed to read that in fact Bill O'reilly HAD done those things...
She's just pissed her uncle forgot to bring any whips.
They're almost as exciting as the ones at the airport or county courthouse. Couldn't O'Really's ambush crew get any closer?
FOX just as gross and tasteless as usual.
What is the fixation with Republicans and Sex all the time???
Aside from the really creepy, and definitely planned and practiced sex/abuse line, what the hell was up with that reporting?
"That doesn't sound like capitalism!"
Yeah, Skippy McShit-for-brains, capitalism is when the government dumps crap loads of money into a private firm but doesn't ask for anything in return. Is that what you learned at
modelingjournalism school?"Well, it would be good for him to think about it this time!"
Right, douche-nozzle, except that it was Paulson, Bush and Cheney last time who just tried to dump cash on the problem - and installed their golfing buddy as AIG CEO.
"Yeah, don't be too hard on Wall St..."
Fuck you, you fucking twit.
The government taking over a private company and running its business is called "receivership," and it's long past time for someone to cut AIG into little tiny pieces and throw the "financial services" tools in prison.
or what?
Such fluff, when the real news is that Senator Dodd's wife worked for AIG.
