Fox Anchor Calls Obama Fist Pound A "Terrorist Fist Jab"

MediaMatters: Teasing a segment on the "gesture everyone seems to interpret differently," Fox News' E.D. Hill said: "A fist bump? A pound? A terrorist fist jab? ... We'll show you some interesting body communication and find out what it really says." In the ensuing discussion with a "body language expert," Hill referred to the "Michelle and Barack Obama fist bump or fist pound," but at no point did she explain her earlier reference to "a terrorist fist jab."
LSB: Would anyone (with a brain) expect anything less of a FAUX-News anchor?
UPDATE (0610/08): E.D. “Terrorist Fist Jab” Hill Loses Her Show On FOXNews. TVNewser reports that E.D. Hill, who hosts “America’s Pulse” — and who raised many eyebrows this week after calling Barack and Michelle Obama’s fist-pound a “terrorist fist jab” has lost her show; unfortunately, her time slot will be filled with an even bigger right wing hack — Laura Ingraham.
LSB: Wow! This isn't the first nutcase to lose an anchor position. More drama as the FAUX-News ratings drop. (Could the electorate be seeing what is "behind the curtain" and turning away?)
