Tiffany Michelle Talks Politics on Fox Business
Created By: Matthew Showell Posted in: The Poker Reporter BlogNow don't get us wrong, we don't have anything against Tiffany Michelle and we're not here to talk smack but wtf?
Fox News has decided to bring Michelle on their Business network to discuss presidential politics in what can be described as a never-ending parade of poker metaphors.
Terms like "bad beat" and "chip lead" are used to talk determine whether Obama is "playing a good hand" when it comes to his presidency.
This interview is guaranteed to get flamed to hell on the forums but to me it's more interesting that it happened in the first place. Seeing a poker player being asked to speak about real issues on a fake real network is pretty cool.
In reality though, the premise that being an "expert" in gambling and poker qualifies you to speak on isses like health care reform is pretty suspect.
As an entertainment network Fox Business knows its audience pretty well and this is likely a winner for most of their audience.
Watch the video and tell us what you think.
