Proud Father Steve Doocy On Son’s ‘Hitting The Sauce’ Question: ‘It Was A Good One’
Proud Father Steve Doocy On Son’s ‘Hitting The Sauce’ Question: ‘It Was A Good One’
Last night on the campus of Villanova University, Fox anchor Steve Doocy’s son – Peter Doocy – asked John McCain why Hillary Clinton is “hitting the sauce.” “Whatever makes Sen. Clinton happy,” responded a bemused McCain, who himself has hit the sauce with Clinton in the past.
On this morning’s Fox & Friends, Steve Doocy asked his son what the reaction has been to his “stumper for John McCain.” “It’s all been good,” Peter said, explaining that his question was an example of “what college kids want to know about.”
Asked by co-host Brian Kilmeade whether MSNBC host Chris Matthews might have recognized his last name, Peter Doocy responded, “I think that he might have. He looked a little grumpy. But I don’t think it really mattered because nobody was there for Chris Matthews. Everybody was there for John McCain, and he did a great job. I think that was a good moment for him.” Watch it:
Doocy proudly heralded his son’s “good” question which “stumped” McCain. Dad wasn’t the only one lauding his son. The entire Fox & Friends crew was full of praise. “It was a great question,” co-host Gretchen Carlson said. “Great job, Peter,” said Kilmeade.
In the summer of 2004, Peter Doocy worked “as an intern with the ‘FOX & Friends’ staff.” Perhaps that’s where he acquired his journalistic skills.

April 16th, 2008 at 10:03 amOn this morning’s Fox & Friends, Steve Doocy asked his son what the reaction has been to his “stumper for John McCain.” “It’s all been good,” Peter said, explaining that his question was an example of “what college kids want to know about.”
It might be what brain dead neoCON college kids want to know about. The rest are interested in the issues, like the newly minted Obama voters. I’m betting that Doocy is feeling a little alone at his college these days. He appears to be as big an a$$hat as his dad.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:03 amHuh? Using an opportunity to ask a question of the Republican nominee for president to allege that one of the Democratic challengers is “hitting the sauce”, i.e., drinking heavily, qualifies as a “good” question and one that “stumped” McCain? Maybe that passes for good on Faux Nooz but in the real world, it was a pretty stupid question.
Sheesh…. apples don’t fall far from the tree, eh?
April 16th, 2008 at 10:04 amI’m amazed that TP posted this. It’s a post that opens up questioning about Hillary, like is she pandering to the hard-drinking, gun toting masses out there by her recent behavior.
Considering the fact that TP started two threads that were unflattering to Obama, if this is a change of heart, good on you TP. John McCain is not the only candidate running for President and it was getting rather boring here seeing nothing but John McCain posts.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:05 ama better question to ask is WTF is McCain smoking and where can I score some of that? It must be REALLY good shit.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:06 amIs there any proof that Steve Doocy is in fact Peter’s father?
April 16th, 2008 at 10:08 amIt’s hard to beleive that he was the fastest swimmer to get to the egg….hmmmm. I thought we had hope for the future, but then again, how can Good prevail if it doesn’t have an evil to fight? The futrue of the Dems look positive.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:08 amThe question “stumped” McCain? Maybe he should be hitting the Aricept.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:09 amWhat a terrible question. It wasn’t a question at all, but an assigned attack. And, no, “stumping” the candidate is not the goal. Finding out his views on matters that are important is. But, isn’t this Doocy’s guy? He “stumped” his own candidate? What an idiot.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:15 amThis is the typical right wing ability to smear Democrats with impunity. It not relevant, it was done to imply that Clinton is suffering from being behind in the polls and may have other problems dealing with stress. It would be alright if such derision and ridicule were infrequent. However, this is the standard tactic and the Democrats have still not figured out how to respond in kind.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:17 amLooking at the facial expressions of both father and son, I don’t think it’s Hillary that’s on the sauce.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:19 amThe turd doesn’t fall far from the anus as they say.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:19 amI heard that Peter’s Father is actually George Allen.
Steve spends a lot of time at the studios, and, well, you know…
April 16th, 2008 at 10:19 amI had to laugh at this idiot-son’s last line to McCain where he invited him to share a shot with him. Frankly, watching that clip led me to conclude that Little Petey had at least one shot too many before he stepped up to the microphone.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:21 amThe Fox & Friends crew circle-jerk is truly gag-worthy. Only in Foxland could Doocy Jr.’s question ever be considered a “good” one, let alone be worth congratulating. Real journalists everywhere are either laughing their heads off or mourning the demise of their profession.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:24 amTo me it’s sad to see the youth Bushwhacked. When I think back to the 60’s the youth cared about the future of this country. I work with a lot of 18-21 yr. olds and they are all rah-rah McCain.
Wait until their is a draft and their ass is on the line in Pakistan (i.e.)— they’ll be singing a different tune then.
Of course, people like Doocy are the main cheerleaders for the neoCONS and more wars. But, they don’t send in their own to defeat this (phony) war on “terror”

Take heart. There are a lot of young people registering to vote and volunteering to work for candidates, and they are NOT McCain voters, nor are they the sort of people who think this moron’s question is “what college kids want to know.”
He’s obviously a smug child of privilege and a smartass and only people watching FoxNoose would find him amusing.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:31 amYou are so right.
He’s a news troll with enough influence to be heard. They can’t defend what is going on but they sure want to imply that no one else can do better.
You would think that if these people wanted to find someone inept or unqualified to criticize that they would have 100 times the targets in the gop. Oh yeah, it’s ok if your a republican to be inept and unqualified and incompetent and un-patriotic……how the heck do they twist reality with such glee?
April 16th, 2008 at 10:39 amoff topic,
does TP put how many people recommend a post anymore -or- was that discontinued?

Funny , I don’t recall FAUX Gnus ever questioning Chimpy on his excessive drinking and constant drug use ………..
April 16th, 2008 at 10:40 amThe faux morans [sic] “think” that’s a good question….there’s your proof that faux has zero credibility as a “news” channel.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:40 amJust imagine the fake outrage from the reich-wing if Olbermann had a child and that child was part of the Q&A at the Obama appearance on hardball. It would be blazing headlines on drudge and faux would be having a hissy fit 24/7.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:42 amAnd Obama Bin Laden? I was amazed at the dignity and aplomb that Barack displayed when the ‘reporter’(shill for McCain) ‘accidently’ misspoke when questioning Obama yesterday.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:47 amOne can only imagine how Hillary or John Sidney McCain III would have erupted if a similar gaffe had been sent their way.

Oh, really??????
April 16th, 2008 at 10:51 amMcCain’s response should have been like his others

Kay,
April 16th, 2008 at 10:52 amI haven’t seen it either and hope they bring it back.
As if every American is worried about a 60 year old Senator , who used to be the 1st Lady , having a shot and a beer ?
Christ , Teddy Kennedy has has more than that for friggin’ breakfast ; it sure as hell hasn’t stopped him from becoming one of the all-time great Senators in US history………….
April 16th, 2008 at 10:54 amherr dubyah just told the Pope that “America is a compassionate country”. I wonder how much compassion is put behind his mandated, supported, and authorized torture and murder?
April 16th, 2008 at 10:55 amKinda OT, but relating to Chris Matthews: Did it come up in a different thread that Chris Matthews all but announced he was going to run for Arlen Specters Senate seat in 2010? A boggling prospect on so many levels.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:57 amIt wasn’t too long ago that the royal courts in Great Britain and Europe were filled with parasitic sycophants whose lands, titles, and comparatively comfortable lives were dependent on fluffing the king or duke or prince on a daily basis. Steve Doocy is such a parasite, and a parasite’s progeny is always pathetically useless. Peter fits the mold perfectly.
April 16th, 2008 at 10:57 amPoor Peter is under the delusion that what his father does has something to do with reporting the news and journalism. It’s obvious his father has influenced him greatly, hence the question he asked. With all the accolades his father and Fox & Friends are giving him; he will probably never see how disrespectful his question truly is.
It is sad to see a father give his son Kudos on National TV for being so rude. Great job Steve, your son is a mirror image of you.

the End of America.
what did you think of it?
April 16th, 2008 at 11:02 amThis explains a lot. I saw the clip of this yahoo this morning, and wondered what kind of idiot would ask such a superifcial, insignifcant question to someone would could possibbly become the most powerful person in the world? Given all the questions one could ask, whether you are for or against McCain, why would you ask him to have a shot with you. What a waste of breath.

Or how much “compassion” is involved in denying millions of children health care coverage by vetoing the SCHIP bills.
April 16th, 2008 at 11:05 amGreat question, Uncle Ho - Keltoi?
And Senator Tweety? Yikes. The mind boggles.
As for Petey, what a rudeass little putz. Just like his alleged pappy.

If the draft were to come back under the Republicans, you can bet your a$$ that there will be a way out for the children of the privileged. There is no way these neoCONS are going to sacrifice their children to occupy a country.
April 16th, 2008 at 11:10 amI think the only way there will be a Peace Movement in this country again — is if the draft is reinstated. I know this is a controversial topic. Just like Vietnam, the anti-war movement did not get really activated until there was a draft.
April 16th, 2008 at 11:17 amCouldn’t he think of a good question about Britney Spears?
April 16th, 2008 at 11:17 amL. Hussein Annie Says:
And Senator Tweety? Yikes. The mind boggles.
I guess Tweety thinks that if Al Frankin can do it, so can he. But, Matthews is no Al Frankin. Also, I wonder what party he will run under. He says he’s an independent but he acts more like a Republican than anything. Knowing Matthews, he will declare a party according to which party is most popular at the moment so he will probably run as a Democrat.
April 16th, 2008 at 11:18 amI hate to say it, but the phrase that keeps popping into my mind every time I see Steve Doocy (or Larry Craig, or Mark Foley, or Ken Mehlman, or Bob Allan, or Jeff Gannon, or Matt Drudge, or half the lineup at Fox News):
faGgOt Party
April 16th, 2008 at 11:23 amTotally irrelivant. That is insignificant compared to their criminal abuse of the public airwaves. The only relevance this has is the hyprocricy they exihibit where homosexuality is concerned.

April 16th, 2008 at 11:31 amThere once was a man named Doocy
April 16th, 2008 at 11:32 amWho had delusions of himself being newsy
So he sent out his kid
To do as he bid
And label Clinton as boozy.
Republican Family values at it’s best. Peter will be hitting the sauce when Teflon John McCain bombs Iran and has to open the draft. It wont be that funny for Peter or his Father when he’s told to illegally invaded a country so Cheney and Company can steal oil. No mention of George W. Bush an his alcoholic and drug problem by Fox News. We read the paper and see what kids do today and wonder why and what went wrong. Good Families with money who hold themselves up to be better then others well Peter is right in line with Ashley. These are the children of our future may God save America.

April 16th, 2008 at 11:40 amHas Keltoi, ever once, been ON topic?
April 16th, 2008 at 11:43 amJust two points to make here:
1. No matter what you think of Peter’s question, it’s better than any question his father ever asked.
and
2. Someone actually had sex with Steve Doocy?
April 16th, 2008 at 11:45 amI’m recently out of college and I know quite a lot of people still in it… and I can tell you none of us are thinking about this. I saw pictures of her drinking and assumed it just had to do with the event. Do normal people not drink a few beers and take a shot almost every week all of a sudden?
April 16th, 2008 at 11:45 amYou have to remember. These are the people who voted for Bush because they want to have an O’Douls with him.
April 16th, 2008 at 11:46 amDidn’t I see the Nazi Chimp toss back some cold ones last summer with Merkel? Wasn’t that attempted back-rub alcohol induced.
Wake-up, America.

April 16th, 2008 at 11:50 amWow, what are the odds? The kid who asked the most obnoxious, least informative question of the night just happens to be the son of a Fox news anchor who keeps writers’ employed and could theoretically say something like “give my kid a good question to ask McCain or you’re fired.”
Really, what are the odds?
Looks like, when God was handing out humility, Doocys Senior and Junior were too busy giving wedgies to quadriplegics.

The whole idea of politicians drinking is an interesting one. On the one hand, it makes them look like jus’ regular folks; on the other hand, it opens them to the question of just how much do you like drinking? I drink like a fish and it doesn’t hurt my professional life, but a President is on call 24/7 with the possibility of life and death hanging in the balance.
HEY! What a great “It’s 3 a.m.” spoof add you could spin off of this topic! Coming to Leno soon.

Not all presidents. Bush passes out drunk at about 8 pm nearly every night. But that’s OK. Dick Cheney emerges from his man-sized safe after sundown to handle things.
