During Childhood Spanking Segment, Megyn Kelly ‘Confronts’ Her Mom: ‘I Could’ve Been At NASA!’

Video
» 29 comments

Does having been spanked as a child (being spanked as an adult is, as the vast majority of you know, an entirely different kettle of fish) make a person more aggressive and emotionally unstable as a grown-up? That’s what precisely what Fox News’ Megyn Kelly seeks to find out.

As Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel told the America Live host Thursday afternoon, the Canadian Medical Association Journal suggests that spanking children as a normative deterrent for bad behavior can indeed have a negative impact on them as adults, including putting them at higher risk for drug and spousal abuse.

Proving his case? The defendant, Megyn Kelly’s mom. Having watched clips of Kelly shouting down the likes of Bill O’Reilly, her mother noted that Kelly was spanked as a child for just that — talking back.

Kelly the Younger then brought on her brother, Pete Kelly, to back her up. He also recalled being spanked on occasion, both by his mother’s hand as well as by the nefarious “Mr. Spoon.”

The anchor blamed her mom for having given her a lower IQ as a consequence of “all those spankings.” “Mom, I could’ve been at NASA!” she told her, rather aggressively.

“I programmed you to be an anchor,” said her mom. “And I did well.”

     seen this?

    “Stephen Colbert used to be my friend. I even signed the poor baby’s
    cast when he hurt his hand,” Pelosi deadpans. “But since the day he
    started his super PAC, taking secret money from special interests, he’s
    been out of control, even using his super PAC to attack my friend, Newt
    Gingrich. And if that weren’t enough, I hear he doesn’t even like
    kittens.”

    Now I know where Megyn gets her taste in dresses. But really, all that was cute. Like being just a little tipsy after a couple of glasses of wine. A little discipline is one thing, a pat on the butt or whatever, within reason, but some people go “tequilla” on that stuff, not wine, and innocent children get hurt.

    Megyn’s cute.  I noticed they didn’t play the clip of her unfairly biting Kirsten Powers head off.  She’s since apologized (or at least admitted she wouldn’t have done it if had it to do over again).  There are SO many segments each day, sometimes I feel for a guest that isn’t as well prepared as some other guest on the given topic.  I despise DNC/GOP talking points, but I recognize sometimes a guest needs to fall back on those to be able to make a coherent point for their ‘side’.  Megyn’s silly court segments are like that, where one guest has to argue in opposition to the other guest because both sides need to be represented, and often times one side sounds reasonable but the other side sounds insane in comparison.
