Yeah, that's how it sounds to me...but again you never know what will fly back at you when the PC crowd grabs ahold of these types of things. Fox did the smart thing in over-reacting IMO.

Of course, the article goes on to mention a couple of other Lyons' gaffes, so maybe this was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. (Oops - will I get PETA mad at me for saying that insensitive remark?...)

I'm organizing a mass demonstration even as we speak. What color do you want us to spray paint your SUV...choices are neon green or taxi cab yellow, our experience is either of these go well with flat-black windshield.
