'He's a leprechaun, I can't stand him.'
You may think that kind of childish idiocy would be followed with a quick apology and everyone would quickly forget about it. But this is Fox News after all and the slice of America that Fox represents well, they don't say sorry.
Granted, none of us are going to feel racially aggrieved by a Fox reporter saying the word leprechaun, but it's more the fact that they seem happy that they think they've offended us that's rather galling. Lisa 'Kennedy' Montgomery, the reporter at the centre of all this, has addressed the comments on air and it's fair to say she's not too bothered.
Yesterday at this time I used the word leprechaun to describe golfer Rory McIlroy. I love sports, I love golf, but I am not a fan of Rory’s.
Mostly for the way he treated tennis great Caroline Wozniacki and discarded her like a piece of chewed gum when he broke her heart and broke off their engagement in a short phone conversation.
That’s worse than breaking up on a Post-it. Now to be clear, neither Harris nor Jenna Lee used the term and I don’t want them to get the credit for it. I called Rory McIlroy a leprechaun and believe me I wanted to call him much worse.
As you know, some of my best friends are leprechauns and they also have tremendous sense of humor. Thank you.
Here she is in all her smugness.
