Did a fucking MSNBC weatherman just dis Rachel Maddow?

[FatDave]

"If the rain out east doesn't let up, Mother Nature might make it on Rachel Maddow for trying to 'Block the vote' today."

That's very nearly an exact quote. And he was really fucking sarcastic sounding and wagging his head around. :wtf:

[babylonsister]

1. I didn't even understand that. What was he inferring? nt

[sandnsea]

7. Rachel is "crazy" to think vote oppression happens

Next thing you know, she'll be blaming Mother Nature for blocking the vote. haha. Isn't that so funny.

Asshole.

[babylonsister]

14. Thanks. Given her ratings, he's the one who sounds like an ass.And

would that apply to everyone on m$nbc giving out numbers for potential voting problems?

[chelsea0011]

2. That is disgraceful for a fellow person on the same channel.

[medeak]

3. don't get it? n/t

[FatDave]

17. When she covers vote suppression, she puts up a "Block the Vote" title.

So he's suggesting that if rain affects turnout, Rachel will accuse the weather of vote suppression.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

29. Oh man! Time for heads to roll.

[Debi]

4. What an ass

This is what Rachel gets for wanting to make sure every vote counts. :grr:

[Cleita]

5. I think Rachel will rise above it and probably outlast him

on MSNBC in the long run to boot.

[Mz Pip]

6. Sounds like a

stupid attempt at a joke. Not a very good one either.

[TheKentuckian]

8. Yeah, that was a bit snarky wasn't it?

I thought it was funny though to be honest and Rachel can handle all her business with ease should she be displeased. He's probably engaging in a little friendly banter otherwise he'd be a fool to expose his throat like that.

9. Kicking just so I can find this later to see if there is an

interpreter in the house.

[RollWithIt]

10. I think it was an attempt at humor....

Lighten up a bit. :-)

[FatDave]

21. It may have been.

Which is why I phrased my post as a question. But it did seem really snide.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

11. The people that they have on during the day on CNN and MSNBC are awful.

Contessa Brewer, Kyra Phillips. I hate to say it but it's usually the attractive women who seem to be there just to get older horndog men to watch.

[libnnc]

12. That statement makes no sense at all.

What the hell did he mean?

[Curtland1015]

13. Maybe they're friends. Who knows?

Could be an inside joke...

[Ozma]

15. I think it was ROCK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!!!! Rachel may have something planned outside

for the ROCK THE VOTE campaign.

[soleft]

16. Wow. Who was it that said it?

She did that whole voter repression story with Robert Kennedy this week. Sounds like it could be a dig.

[jenmito]

18. Jeff Ranieri. n/t

[LSparkle]

20. Snarky a-hole ...

Hey, dude, your job is to report the fucking WEATHER
(ooh, REALLY hard), not offer political commentary.
Leave that to the ADULTS (like Rachel).

[jenmito]

22. He sure was...

He really outed himself as a McCain supporter.

[LSparkle]

27. Maybe he should start looking for another job, considering

the political climate at MSNBC of late. And Ranieri
will only be MORE out of place AFTER the election!

[OwnedByFerrets]

28. I would never take up for this POS, but.....

being a weather person IS very hard. Look at what it takes to get a degree and you will shudder.

[Avalux]

19. I don't think so. She's been doing segments about voter intimidation.

I think he was trying to be funny, saying that mother nature was keeping people from voting (rain) and as a result, might be featured on Rachel's show.

He just didn't say it very well.

[FatDave]

25. Your interpretation is correct.

That's exactly what he meant. She's put up a "block the vote" title while covering vote suppression.

It just seems like dig to me. Like "next she'll be accusing the weather!" Maybe not, but my initial reaction was that he was making fun of her for covering vote suppression.

[BootinUp]

23. If he wants to get into an on air war with Rachel

I'm sure she doesn't mind.

[bluedawg12]

24. Ouch! Poser weather man's sly remark about "Mother" nature

and tie into Rache's political views.

Gee whiz, that's so clever, from a self absorbed weather bunny.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

26. I thought I heard that and then to myself...no, couldn't have been. Maybe he's tired of being

a weatherman and wants a job with Faux? They love pretty faces.
