Everyone and their mother has been weighing in on this weekend’s Rally To Restore Sanity And/Or Fear in D.C. But what do the folks at Fox & Friends think? Gretchen Carlson, Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy were a big target of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s mockery Saturday (as they always are), and seemed just a smidge bitter about it on the show yesterday.

Take Carlson’s intro: “There was this big rally, put on by comedians, which many people unfortunately think are newspeople. Jon Stewart and — what’s the other guys’s name?” After Kilmeade and Doocy filled in Colbert’s name, she said: “Those two had – did they call it the insanity something or another? Oh Restore Sanity! Not insanity (laughs).”

“And he looks fancy in his suit, like he actually is a real newsperson,” she added later.

Passive aggressive or just unprepared? You decide:
