Fox News "sexpert": Obamas Do A Lot of "Fisting."
Susannah Breslin sends in this clip, and says even she has no idea what this so-called "sexpert" on Fox News is implying. Whatever it is, it's TMI.
Update: Our well-lubed commenters are probably correct in guessing that the Fox analyst [snort] means "making happy-fun terrorist fist-jabs in the air" when she says "fisting." This just makes it funnier.

It's a local Fox affiliate's evening news as opposed to Fox News.
That being said: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-HA HA!
You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think it means...
One purports herself to be a "sexpert" yet is so lacking in street cred (aka "proof of purchase") that she doesn't know using the term "fisting" is bound to be taken the wrong way in this context (or is clueless about the term/act)? Idiot.
Fox continues to be built on a foundation of nothing but the best.
i'm sure she was referring to the "hezbollah style fist jabs" that brought them so much attention on the campaign trail months ago.
I was really expecting a slip of the tongue, but no, she meant to say "fisting."
I wonder if she'd appreciate a nice email with a helpful Google search link in order to explain to her what she just said about our new President?
I'm guessing it is an oblivious, but very funny, reference to fist bumps. I wonder about their target audience's reactions - I want man on the street reactions/opinions.
and this is just the beginning.
You can hear the anchor laugh too when she says fisting.
But what'll everyone say if Obama now makes a statement to the press denying any fisting has occured while looking worried and shifty?
W T F ?
Fox has clearly cast off its conservative shackles and embraced the New Day. Kudos.
"Fox has clearly cast off its conservative shackles and embraced the New Day. Kudos."
It took some time and a lot of lube, but they finally managed.
eeerrrm!
i really can't believe i just watched that.....
perhaps her flub may indicate some restraint should be exercised?
unreal!
I wonder when's the last time this woman had a good terrorist jab to the va-jay-jay?
I hope they know about the silent duck
#10 owes me a keyboard.
The poor clueless thing. It's over for her. She will never live this down. NEVER.
"NEVER."
Damn right.
heh! "For the Senate and People of Rome!"... either that or Borat in the elevator.
wh-wh-WHAAAA?
Actually, I'm thinking there were probably one or two people who, after seeing that, hit the Google to find out just what this whole fisting thing really is.
And now I imagine the looks on their faces and laugh.
The included picture almost couldn't be better. Crop it a bit higher and where's his right hand?
Where's the link to the Rule43 pictures?
I hope this makes it on the The Daily Show!
Seriously though, how can you not know what fisting is?
Fists are the new cigar.
Can't...un...hear..
Or... how can you be a "sex expert" and not know what fisting is?
ummm, uhhhh, damn. I am out of words
How can you be a sexpert and think that a fist bump is somewhere up there with kissing, eye contact and holding hands? Unless of course for you, (as a member of the white upper class white elitist whites), these "negros" are a strange and mysterious race with their odd customs and manners. Who knows what strange rituals they may perform?
If that's what "fisting" means then I distinctly remember Michelle Obama fisting with all the ladies of "The View" on national TV. There's your real story.
Upon further sexspection, I'd say this sexpert's credentials are sexpect.
the sad/funny thing is that my circle of friends adopted "Fisting" to mean the fist jab after a friend's sister obliviously said "Fist me!" a few months back. We're getting a big kick out of this.
Sort of a "Chasing Amy" moment...
Let's hope they stop before they adopt that puppy.
I read @xenijardin's Twitters about this and got more and more angry about it as I thought more and more about it. "Fox has hit a new low!" I said to myself. And, "What the Obamas do in private is their own business," I said to myself. And, "I can't imagine this is true. The Obamas are extremely politically aware -- I can't imagine they'd have shared these kinds of details about their private lives with ANYONE." And, "Fox wouldn't even have been reporting this if the Obamas weren't black. This double standard is contemptible."
And now I come here to get the whole story, and I'm relieved. I think it's kind of sweet.
M'thinks "fisting" to this waspy dame means hail-fellow-well-met lightly smacking the other person on the shoulder, not terrorist jab. "Gaaaawl-eee!"
She is sans clue.
Thought a bit more. You know what this story has done? Whenever I see President & First Lady in a picture I'm going to think of one or the other of them elbow deep in the others backside. Nice piece of spin reporting.
Well she's a 'sexpert' but only on consentual sex in the missionary position.
It's FOX, after all, isn't it?! :)
Yeah, but which one is the fistor and which is the fistee? I know which way I'm betting.
Someone has to ask; is she knuckles only or 'to the elbow'?
I wonder how much the FCC fine will be for saying that on the air?
well, the only important thing is there is absolutely no saddlebacking going on. And after all, isn't that all that really matters?
It's like when a girl says she's going to get a facial. Totally. Different. Meaning.
Is it just me or did she start to say Hilary before she say Michelle?
Never fisted, no desire to fist, not a "sexpert" (well, formally anyway), yet I still know what fisting is. How much of an expert can this woman be that she's unaware of what it means?
And now for something completely different.
House GOP leader John Boner:
Submitted without the slightest hint of double entendre or sexual innuendo at all. Honest.
You just know this woman stumbled upon her kids talking about it, and received a hasty explanation.
Well she's right, that's one way of getting "physically bonded to one another."
C'mon, folks, it's a very "internet" term. Not everybody knows it means refuting someone's argument line-by-line.
OT... I've always loved that photo of President Obama and Mrs. Obama. They do look so in love.
Sigh.
yee hee!, ahhhh Teller, I may spare your village yet!
I don't care that she is clueless, I don't care about juvenile ha-has for her Freudian slip but I do care that she says that couples need to feel physically bonded together tough. That is simply disgusting.
@44 Noen
Yeah I saw that earlier too and cracked up...
“How can you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on contraceptives?” Boehner asked. “How does that stimulate the economy?” Boehner said congressional Republicans are also concerned about the size of the package.
Yeah, my boner often complains about condoms and I have noticed more Republicans seem concerned about the size of packages lately.

Soon after they google it they'll be seeking the "safe search On" button
I asked what it was on Twitter. Someone (someone I know personally) told me, on Twitter, to go Google Image it.
So not only did I do it...but the whole Twitter World got to see my reaction!!! I even announced as Twitter asked "what are you doing" I said "I'm going to google images for "fisting".
I thought it was a high five with fists, for Crissake!!!!
If that woman isn't fired...then I would have to think it was done on purpose.
Maybe she did know what it meant, and just wanted to make the practice more open and widespread.
Not my best choice of words ever.
Fired? From Fox?
Damn near killed him.
Oh. Oh my.
Fox, you are a never ending source of entertainment.
AAAAAGH! I need Listerine for my brain!
...Thanks a lot, Fox News. Way to "show respect for the office of president" or whatever it was you used to screech about Bush.
Scarface: You said you gave Mary Jane a pearl necklace!
Thurgood Jenkins: Obviously you missed the whole point of that story.
@55
don't you mean "Damn near wrecked em".
When I saw 59 comments attached to that I just knew that I needed to put my coffee down.
There was no hint that she realised what she said. I can't believe that any sexpert who hasn't stuck to the Catholic Approved Manual for Family Relations, isn't aware of the meaning of the term.
The magazine "Private Eye" has a section called Colemanballs for unintentially funny things said by presenters and commentators. I'll have to see if I can get this in....
I just watched a clip of fox news... I feel dirty.
Projection!
You gotta love a president who's anxious to roll up his sleeves and get to work.
he's definitely gonna need to use some elbow grease. it's always tough in the first days of orifice, after all...
Man, clueless straight white people really are funny sometimes.
Sometimes.
This whole post, and the following comments are certainly farkish in nature.
It seems that I may have been teleported into a 7th grade boy's gym class.
Seems pretty obvious she's talking about fist-bumps. That said, wow. Leave the "sexpert" stuff to Savage, lady.
This video cuts the ending off, where the host and the expert say "By fisting, of course we mean this" and do the fist bump. They played the whole segment on Attack of the Show a few days ago.

BTW, got to go, #10, 63 and 64 owe me a pair on new underwear
#67/Telly got it right, although the first thing I think of after hearing 'fist-bump' is 'pound it!' which may not be the best thing after seeing this clip.
The clip is sort of out of context, but it is still accurate.
G4's Attack of The Show had this shown on Jan 20.
The original is here, but rather slow-moving: http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail?contentId=8268758&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=1.1.1

If terrorist fist jabbing promotes celibacy before marriage, will Fox believers think it's a good thing?
Fox 2 News - miseducating Detroit about sex since ???
Feel free to contact these people to correct the verbiage:
The director of the morning show of Fox 2 News Detroit -- the show from which this clip is taken.
Dr. Terri Orbuch, the "Love Doctor" being interviewed in that clip.
Ugh, that's Fox 2 Detroit. I'm ashamed that a Michigander doesn't know what fisting is, considering that the economy here has been fisted in the ass horribly....
After this story and this:

I'm wondering if Washington culture is more kinky than I had previously believed.
So many are assuming the 'sexpert' made a mistake with her choice of words... but could it be simply that Obama does enjoy a good fisting? He seems like a pretty open-minded guy.
Man, those Obama's and their fisting.
"foxholing"?
Were we to remove the moving pictures and go full-on radio...
This is a pretty clear multi-million dollar infringement of FCC regulations. The station bears full responsibility.
I never knew J.K. Rowling was a sexpert.
FSM help her if she orders a "Cleveland Steamer" in a restaurant.

Was that a political comment? It kinda looked like empty cynicism posing as political commentary in a post about an amusing faux pas.
thought crimes the government wants to control you sheeple infowars Alex Jones?
This is not your place.
Teller@47: The term's been around far longer than teh Internets.
Doggo@63: FTW!
We now return to correspondent Sanchez with the real dirt on this issue...
Is it proper for a couple to fist on the first date? What about first on the fist date?

"foxholing"?
hmm, I do tend to think of Fox commentators as 'foxholes'...
