MSNBC's Contessa Brewer is getting a bit
too sanctimonious for my money.

Not an hour goes by that she doesn't inject her moralistic, sexually-repressed, outrage into every subject. Today, she was ranting about a bimbo-for-kids website and Barbie Dolls with "Plastic boobs".

Now I don't know about you, but the last person I heard not-on-Faux with this much ten Commandments-itis since...

Eliot Spitzer.

and we know what happened to him!

She's pretty 'tricky': when she doesn't like the guest's viewpoint, she quickly ducks to another program subject with the old "that's all we have time for you thanks for being with us" nonsense.

There's no shortage of time when Pat Buchanan or Joe Scarborough, or -even woise!- Tucker(!) want to spew horseshit. Or for Tweety to repeat himself over and over and spit all over the assembled masses.

MSNBC causes Brain Damage.

19. Wait, don't we WANT the media to cover Pastorgate?
I assume by the name "Pastorgate" this is about all the scandal & uproar over McCain accepting the endorsement of John Hagee, right? Right?

4. Remember when Imus got her canned?
I do. He called her skills "8th grade level" and hinted that
she had a sugar daddy who got her the gig.

She disappeared and didn't return until after Imus was canned.

She really is... um, not good at her job.

10. He didn't "get her canned." She refused to work for him and threatened
an harassment lawsuit because she didn't like that stupid schtick he used to do, so they moved her. She was still working--I think she had the night desk and the "First Look" gig.

12. Most adjectives of the negative variety may be used...
but "ugly"?

do you mean inside or outside?

If she had a brain in that vacuum-head, she'd be pretty good-looking. But there's no accounting for taste. Maybe I'm wrong.

13. I've never met anyone that was ugly inside that
Edited on Tue Mar-25-08 04:20 PM by CC
I didn't think was ugly on the outside. I guess the looks can be there and easy on the eyes for some but for me the ugly glares through and no amount of work can hide it.

17. I understand and respect that P.O.V.
I really do and I half-expected that as your response.

I guess my point is that you can see how these people 'catch the eye' so to speak, or even lower down, of a Network person and then do not have the requisite skills to match...but it apparently no longer matters.

I hate these bimbos, male and female, as much as anyone else on this board does for their lack of intellectual curiosity, slim and dim knowledge base, and general ridiculousness. Anyone with a brain who's ever dated an exceedingly attractive person knows that that aspect wears off in no time if there's no mental attribute to go along with the physical.

21. The vapid airheads are so much easier
Edited on Tue Mar-25-08 05:03 PM by CC
for the bosses to control. The easy on the eyes part only helps them get on tv. Male or female. Contessa drives me nuts, as do a lot of them but she is good at adding some comment that makes me go "What the f**k, what does that have to do with anything just on?" Then I dive for the remote and get her off my tv. Most just make me dive for the remote first.

22. She's stupidly opinionated
and reminds me of a third-grade teacher at a faculty party.

15. Another FAUX wannabe bobble head doll with no skills
I had JUST come home from work and saw her "sthick" too. One of these days MSNobodyCares will get a Progressive pundit to read the news during the day and give us hope.

Fucking bobble head air brains.

20. If it's *that* tiny, you shouldn't even be trying to get it.
