Fox News is right up there with the average persimmon when it comes to IQ points – from either its viewers or commentators.  That works out real nice in Foxville.

Today they have an interesting theory about George Zimmerman.

Fox News host Gregg Jarrett says that George Zimmerman “has already been punished” for the killing of Trayvon Martin because he “looks like he’s put on a hundred pounds.”

“He does look like a different guy,” Jarrett remarked. “It looks like he’s put on a hundred pounds. Look, he has been in hiding and he fears for his life, and there have been all kinds of death threats. And, you know, he can’t go anywhere, can’t get out and get exercise.”

But he can obviously get to the grocery store and Big Plunky’s Fried Chicken.

But it gets better –

“You eat when you’re under stress and pressure and stuff like that,” Jarrett agreed. “So, you know, he’s already been punished to some extent. We’ll wait and see whether a Jury punishes him further.”

Yeah, because nothing is so punishing as sitting on the coach watching game shows all day while stuffing your mouth with Oreos.

Fox News:  a whole new worldview.

Thanks to Irene for the heads up.
