Stay classy, Michael Karolchyk: Anti-gym founder calls surgeon general pick "fat," "lazy"

Only in the Bizarro World of Fox News would Michael Karolchyk -- the tax-dodging misogynist behind the Anti-Gym -- qualify as a reliable expert on anything, let alone the president's pick for a new surgeon general. But the cable-news channel went ahead and invited him anyway, so he could do...

Watch the video above to see him call the president's pick, Regina Benjamin, "fat" and "lazy" and to question her life choices, despite his apparent lack of any information whatsoever. In the meantime, here's hoping Karolchyk falls off a treadmill and renders his face unsuitable for cable TV. God knows his mouth already is.
