Chyron of the Day: Fox Brings Marie Antoinette Into Health Care Debate

» comments

Fox News, 4:18pmET:

fnc_8-18

Well we’ve already done one Chyron of the Day today – but then Neil Cavuto started talking about Marie Antoinette. Yes, it was tongue-in-cheek, but that didn’t stop the conversation from drifting away from Rep. Eric Massa and his recent comments to the beheaded former Queen of France.

After discussing Massa’s comment that “I will vote adamantly against the interests of my district,” Cavuto joked, “That didn’t work too well for one Marie Antoinette,” and played a clip of a movie.

“As you know she was for a single payer health system,” he said. “Steve Moore, are we witnessing history repeating itself?”

Moore, of the Wall Street Journal, just laughed, and he did clarify he didn’t “want the Democrats to have their heads guillotined off.” That’s good to know.

All this…while the chyron described the story as “Developing.”
