Who's that charming lady with the country accent we started seeing on Fox News business programming in 2001 and are seeing more and more, no doubt because there were many viewer requests to "see more of" her (which, naturally, could have more than one meaning.)?Her name is Dagen (pronounced "DAY-gan") McDowell and even after living in New York City for over a decade, she hasn't lost that tiny-tobacco-town Virginia accent. Media types often train reporters and correspondents to lose their rural accents because they say viewers find them distracting, when, in fact, their true motivation is their hatred for all things "southern." But we see in Miss Dagen's case that there is something endearing--if not downright sexy--about her drawl. Plus, she seems to have some cute quirks: she told an anchor in Studio B (a sub for Shep) that she loves to play videos games to "get away from people" [there's always a special place in my heart for the asocial] and she admits to watching trashy tv. As a most important supplement to all of this, she's got dark, shiny hair. No, her politics have not been fully elucidated...who cares?
Click here for five minutes with Dagen, which includes a video. That's probably the closest you're ever going to get.
Easy to see why the Dow is up.
