Fox News anchor Shep Smith thinks CNN’s Don Lemon should have just said no to the Blizzardmobile.
Lemon earned the derision of comedian Jon Stewart and much of Twitter for patrolling the streets of New York on Monday night in an elaborate vehicle while covering a winter storm that ultimately didn’t hit the region as hard as was expected.
On Tuesday, Smith took a swipe at Lemon and dished out some advice for covering breaking news during an appearance on the Fox Business Network show “Kennedy.”
“If they told [me] to drive a ‘Blizzardmobile,’ as some of our friends across town had to do that, I would trust my gut and say, ‘No, thanks,'” Smith told the former MTV VJ Kennedy, who hosts the program.
The conversation also had somewhat of an uncomfortable moment when Kennedy heaped praise on the longtime Fox anchor.
“I have to tell you, Shep, whether it’s a war, a celebrity death, or some cataclysmic weather event, I get down on my knees and I’m thankful for your existence,” Kennedy said.
“The thought of you on your knees is a wonderful one,” Smith said.
The newsman also offered Kennedy some advice on how to succeed on her new program: “Wear less clothes.”

Kennedy’s been on her knees for years.
It’s rather like Ann Coulter calling Sarah Palin a bitch, or Ted Cruz calling Rand Paul an asshole. Pot and kettle and black, dontcha know.
“didn’t hit the region as hard as was expected.”
While this is true, because the storm itself wasn’t as violent as expected, you have to be fair about it. We’ve got well over 2 feet of snow, nowhere to put it and the plowing and shoveling shitshow continues apace. 2+ lane roads in Boston are all down to one lane and the place is a ghost town. I can’t wait to see the traffic mess tomorrow (or hear the horns and creative cuss-outs). I took one look at my buried car and the roads this morning and instantly said “fuck that” and took the subway instead. Compare this to the pussies in other places like DC, where an inch or two completely shuts down the entire town. Make no mistake: it was a big storm.
But this article didn’t include the subsequent banter on deflated balls. And what’s with Shep’s color? Is he following Boner’s beauty regimen?
Now excuse me, reality is calling.
