Fox Biz Foxes Get Ben Stein Hot and Bothered

Here are a few things I learned from reading Ben Stein's article "The Invasion of the Money Honeys" in Best Life:

1)Roger Ailes has absolutely no shame about marketing Fox Business Network on the backs (or other parts) of its female hosts and reporters. Of course, we knew that already. How long until Fox changes its slogan from "the best team in business" to "the best sweater puppies in business"?

2)Ben Stein is kind of a dirty old man. Of women like FBN's "heart-stoppingly beautiful, ultrayoung and cute Jenna Lee," he writes, "You imagine them talking about money while they spread out their hair on the pillow next to you." For the record, Stein is 35 years older than Lee.

3)Ben Stein thinks it's called "Fox Business News." (In case you're curious, FoxBusinessNews.com is an anti-fur website.)
