Doocy mistakenly identifies a random black man as Obama.

This morning, the Fox and Friends crew was sitting around waiting for Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) to arrive at his polling place. “There he is, he just walked in,” Steve Doocy announced as another African-American man, wearing a casual tan jacket and a hat, walked in. Even Doocy’s co-hosts didn’t believe him. “Was that the back of his head?” asked Brian Kilmeade. “I don’t know,” said Gretchen Carlson. A few minutes later, the real Obama walked in, wearing a dark suit. Watch it:

    The response to that is just to easy it’s not worth saying. Fox News will be seeing alot more Obama’s during this election.

    I just put lipstick on a pig and it looked just like Doocy only smarter.


  9. Marie says:

    These guys are the embodiment of incredible stupidity and bigotry — Doofus thinks all black men look alike.


  10. Buckie Boy says:

    Well Fux does paint all African Americans in the same light…so not surprised.

    Well I put lipstick on my pig and I was shocked at how much it looked like Rudy Jullie Annie.

    “There he is, he just walked in,” Steve Doocy announced as another African-American man, wearing a casual tan jacket and a hat, walked in.

    i think doochy was referring to the guy in the black jacket, who was ahead of the guy in the tan jacket, and who actually looked similar from behind if barack was 5′6″…

    and, both those guys were walking OUT of the votng room… as was obvious when the obama family walked IN…


  15. darladooner says:

    we know doocy is, well, doocy. but still, who cares if he mis-identified obama? is he now a typical racist white guy? or just bad at identifying people from behind, from a fairly good distance, on television?


  16. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    i am surprised they didn’t use a convenience store videotape of someone robbing it and claim it was obama voting.


  17. CruzBustamove says:

    I wonder how often Doocy’s name gets “mis-pronounced”?


  18. greenpagan says:

    Doocy. What a doofus…

  19. greenpagan says:

    I don’t think Doocy is any more a racist than the other serfs on FOX News. He’s sort of a goofy guy, is all. Somewhat unusually graceful.

  20. Imichael says:

    Not racist just ignorant. Those three stooges think they all look alike. Is there anyway Hasselback can get on that show?


  21. ElBruce says:

    Then the guy jacked Steve Doocy’s wallet and carved a backwards “B” into his face.


  22. konchster says:

    It explains why these assclowns were so Pro Palin. They haven’t a clue
