I have poked about, Google-fashion, the topic "Noelle Nikpour", in the light of the astonishing Daily Show "interview". Here are the questions I would like answered by some industrious journalist. This ostentatiously imbecilic figure is apparently an EMPLOYEE of Fox News. Who HIRED her ? Why has the person who hired her not been fired ? What does this (inapropriately labeled) "news" company think it is doing roping in such an astonishingly ignorant person ? On the web, for which she is, admittedly, NOT responsible, she is shown as a sexy thing (lots of moderately exciting photos, no doubt). She is also described as a "Republican Consultant", whatever that may mean. Is it, even in the farthest reaches of one's imagination (admittedly a place which has been stretched to unforeseen limits recently), possible to imagine anyone sufficiently idiotic to actually "consult" such a person ? It is, of course, not hard at all to imagine anyone exploiting such a person. But "consultation"? My (no doubt naive) notion of "consultation" involves seeking expert advice. What on earth would one "consult" Noelle Nikpour about? Would one pay her ? And if someone had done so, would one pay the person who had decided to do so ? What would one's shareholders say about such an egregious waste of funds? What does the owner of the London Times and the Wall Street Journal think about her astonishing antics ?
On the other hand, the Daily Show has found a splendid little skit, a real classic for their genre. It is so perfect that one is almost inclined to imagine that it is a setup. But no !
