defrogITEM: Researchers in Sweden and Finland release a new study finding that people who lived with a partner during middle age had much lower odds of developing dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
On Fox & Friends, Brian Kilmeade completely debunks the study by pointing out that the study was done by researchers in Sweden and Finland.
Seriously.
“The problem is the Swedes have pure genes. They marry other Swedes, that's the rule. Finns marry other Finns; they have a pure society. In America we marry everybody. We will marry Italians and Irish.”
What strikes me – apart from his apparent belief that Swedes and Finns are a "species" – is why he would even bother going out of his way to discredit such a study. Here you have a study showing that marriage is biologically good for you, and instead of trumpeting it as proof that the GOP is right about the importance of Family Values, he's blathering about pure genes.
Maybe he’s afraid Teh Gayz will use it to prove gay marriage should be legalized. Or maybe he’s still too freaked out over Al Franken’s victory to think clearly.
Well, haha, no. Of course it’s because he’s batshit. But he’s bankable batshit.
FUN FACT: Fox News is the most watched cable TV news program in America. And Fox & Friends is by far the top-rated morning news program. Meanwhile, the top four overall news programs are The O'Reilly Factor, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and On the Record.
Just so you know.
On the crazy train,
This is dF
