Fox News host Brian Kilmeade this week compared to Michael Sam, the first openly-gay NFL player, to Michael Vick after he was convicted of dogfighting.

On the Wednesday edition of Fox & Friends, Kilmeade pointed out that former coach Tony Dungy had recently come under fire for saying that he would not have drafted Sam because he would have been a distraction.

“Sure, is the distraction bigger than what will occur on field?” co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck explained. “But he’s getting slammed. Tony Dungy is getting abused in the media. It’s a fact that this story is a big deal in the media. You know, Michael Sam, did he make it a big deal? Who knows?”

Co-host Steve Doocy defended Dungy’s right to “express his opinion,” and noted that the former coach had been called a hypocrite for helping Vick get his career back on track after he was sentenced to 23 months in federal prison for dogfighting and criminal conspiracy.

3. Michael Vick is a sociopath

And Tony Dungy is a sanctimonious asshole.

4. I have to hand it to Fox and Friends on one level

They consistently produce the exact quality of show one should expect when you give a sportscaster, a weatherman and a reality TV contest winner three hours to pontificate on political issues and other subjects of "importance".

Her dumb-ass comments about the Obama fist-jab aside E.D Hill at least had a background in news journalism. The token blonde representatives on the show have just really dive-bombed on the intellect scale since Hill left.

6. That's why I call "Fox and Friends" the bottom of the sewer.

Faux "news" is a sewer.

"Fox and Friends" is the bottom of that sewer.

7. Saw this yesterday. What a scumbag.

And it did seem like the other two were uncomfortable when he said it, but they didn't actually call him out on it.

Ugh.
