Airhead Contessa Brewer making a big deal out of Palin's Newsweek cover.
Edited on Thu Oct-09-08 12:00 PM by godai
She's actually comparing other covers of Hillary, Michelle, and Cindy while 2 talking heads discuss only this topic for 5 minutes! Her whole tone is that it's unfair to Palin. I thought she was supposed to be a neutral newscaster asking questions of others. I'm sure it was the producers that decided to do a segment on the photo but, really silly. MSNBC during the afternoon is a wasteland.

3. Aren't these the people who told US to "lighten up" about the infamous New York cover?
Their hypocrisy knows no bounds

5. They all are all going to make big deals out of everything.
They are bored silly. I think that's why they go after Rethugs a lot. They are so stupid,

and make such inane arguments that the anchors can't resist.

7. I have the cover in front of me, and it's really not a big deal at all!
And honestly, (and I think that Palin's appearance is very overrated) she does not look that bad, especially for her age (even though I hate that expression, but you know what I mean) in the unretouched picture. And I didn't even notice the moustache when I looked at the cover the first twelve times, until it was pointed out here...very faint. And Newsweek has shown more flattering pictures of her in the past...you're right, MSNBC in the daytime really is a wasteland.

12. All the talk on DU about this Newsweek cover that faux is
bitchin' about I've never seen it displayed. So I thought I would go get it.


Maybe they don't like what the caption is? "The palin Problem".

"Yes, she won the debate by not imploding. But governing requires knowledge, and mindless populism is just that—mindless."

Which is a stupid thing to say..she did not win the debate..in fact, she lost.

9. That only makes Palin look even more stupid.
If her supporters are complaining about her pores and wrinkles showing in a picture, it makes her look like such a delicate lily. I thought Palin was supposed to be a bulldog or whatever, not a princess.

14. Did you see Pete Williams' segment just before that?
'Contessa' had just introduced the story of AIG cancelling their second sales retreat (in the Med) and she obviously had no idea what she was talking about. Pete Williams' first words were "Your intro almost made my head explode."

She is as dumb as a box of rocks.

22. I can. They still haven't found a way to stop the bleeding
They are trying any and everything to make sure that ratings stay up for this "horse race."

Won't work, however.

20. I know, that cracks me up. Vain Contessa deserves some stage hand to come up and give her
"a nuggie." Oh the horror! That would mess up her hair. :eyes:

25. I guess you can see she has lip hairs!!!!
Contessa also said she had some stray hairs on her eyebrows. That is friggin hilarious. I can't help it. She is such a bitch that I don't care if they don't like their picture.
