Nov 2012

She converts adverbs into nouns, speaks in clipped sentences a la Blitzer, and is generally unconvincing and on top of everything else that's wrong with her, the glasses don't make that empty face look erudite, they make her look like one of those Cinemax After Dark Porn "stars". You know, the gal who's running the lab where the men have to "come" to get their abdominal muscles analyzed...

Then add the incredibly annoying (but perhaps assumed sexy) breathless, sometimes gaspy style -- yuk. If she's trying to emulate the widely-respected Rachel or Stephanie with the glasses, little Essie is way off base.

She reminds me of an asthmatic who needs her puffer. It's incredibly distracting which I suppose could be a good thing because then you don't notice the words actually coming out of her mouth. But, yeah....she's unwatchable.

Watching the post-press conference coverage yesterday on MSNBC, I was asking my SO yesterday "who is that annoying woman with the fake glasses?" (I don't watch Morning Joe)

Absolutely no distortion of the line of her face underneath, not the tiniest bit.

I feel compelled to set that straight since there are many other atheists that are humanists. Not that you meant to lump us all together, just wanted a point of clarification.

But, indeed, she spews vile ideological smut on MJ and on her show, The Cycle.

I just find it odd that she would pursue religious studies. Guess she is a seeker. What Ayn Rand falled to realize is that we homo sapiens evolved in communities of individuals, who formed close emotional bonds. Excluding orangutans (a solitary ape), all us other ape species had a better chance of surviving, when we were in a group.

It seems he (or someone on the show) never fails to piss someone off. I gave up watching it quite a few months ago. I watch Current, but now that the election is over I am thinking of giving that up also. Although, I can't go back to watching MJ. Guess I'll have to get my political fix elsewhere in the AM. I think I'll live.

He's terrific. Very wry sense of humor, and ever such a Brit gentleman with polite manners. He never fails to highlight the irony of RW hypocracy, and in such a delightful way. Maybe we should start a campaign to get Bashir on in the morning?

I casted about for a morning show,
When all I caught was a mourning Joe,
But I think Joe’s taken a holiday,
And I’ll bet he took it without pay,
Couldn’t watch old Mitt and Karl go.

We republicans have blown a fuse.
Do they hate us all, we sit and muse,
Was it something that we didn’t do,
Or because all that we slung was poo,
Our ineptitude folks won’t excuse?

And I would make sure that I turned the channel to MSNBC every time I was on the front desk just to attempt to break the conservative bubble of FOX that seems to take hold of the military installations. We received quite a few negative comments from personnel and a few positive ones. The best was having Bashir on right at the high traffic time...he was/is brilliant at dismantling the conservative stupidity.

Thu Nov 15, 2012, 09:57 AM
Nov 2012

I always thought that the Cycle was MSNBC trying out the younger folks to see who could be the next star. I sometimes have the Cycle on as backgound, but I rarely sit down to watch. I sometimes catch the last bit waiting for Bashir to air.

And BTW: you folks should not ding Cupp for her voice; ding her for her inane and uninformed chatter. She probably can't help the voice bit, but her opinions are nonsense.

 

Please proceed

Really, either she is so stupid she can't even realize her arguments lack substance or she's dumb as a fox just trotting this shit out knowing she'll make decent money being a young, (smart, I know she isn't but that's why she wears the glasses) Republican woman.

In a world where there are no young, smart, Republican women you have to admit she has the market cornered even if it is a bait and switch.
