Idiot du Jour

Gretchen Carlson, of Fox News (of course), with this statement regarding CVS' decision to stop selling cigarettes:

On Fox's The Real Story, host Gretchen Carlson approached the CVS decision with suspicion and a remarkably uninformed premise, asking, "Is it OK legally ... to restrict tobacco availability in a private store like this?" She questioned her guests as to whether they would continue shopping at CVS and observed that, "For people who smoke, you know, they have a right to buy cigarettes. It's not illegal."

I'm speechless.

There is some speculation that the Fox response comes about because President Obama supported the move. What other reason could there be for something that totally brainless?
