Rough day for idiotic morning show, Fox & Friends. Just hours after Gretchen Carlson and company were confused by a three-year old picture of Obama with a pirate, Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update Thursday tore into the show, mocking both its blatant Romney favoritism and its issues with accuracy. In the skit, the "hosts" defend Mitt Romney, played by Jason Sudeikis, as he stumbles through a series of hidden camera blunders.

Jon Stewart Takes on Nancy Grace's Boobs, Fox & Friends' Pricks

Matt Cherette · 09/27/11 11:55PM

Thanks to Chaz Bono's knee injury and Nancy Grace's wardrobe malfunction, last night's Dancing with the Stars was a lesson in human anatomy. After expressing his horror at the sight of Grace's nipple on tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart couldn't wait to see how the prudes at Fox & Friends would react to it.
