I never thought I'd be glad to see MSNBC focusing on OJ Simpson.

There has been so much disproportionate coverage lately that OJ is a breath of fresh air.

1. not to mention the escaped bear. nt

3. Perhaps the next thing will be a cage match between OJ, Sarah Palin and the escaped bear.

Highlights at 11!

4. sounds like a lewis libby novel

:hide:

5. Let's leave the poor bear out of it.

Now OJ and Moosealini.... that's a worthy match. And whoever loses, America wins. Downside is that if Sarah won, she would probably win the election in a landslide. :evilfrown:

7. Does OJ get to use his knife?

In that case, my money's on The Juice.

8. But if OJ is allowed to bring his knife

Then Sarah's going to ask for an airplane and an AK-47, and who knows where that would end?

9. Sort of an ever-escalating arms race.

I'm guessing OJ is still faster than a moose, and no element of surprise.

:rofl:

6. Olbermann's coverage of that was hilarious.

2. Yep, the media's desperate to change the narrative.

Now that Obama's poll numbers are soaring and McCain & Palin are going in the toilet, they're trying to redirect.

And the only thing they can think of is distraction. OJ, Brittney Spears, bears, missing white girls... You know the routine.
