Why is MSNBC rehiring Monica Crowley??

[killerbush]

Why is MSNBC rehiring Monica Crowley? It just doesn't make any sense to me. Rick Kaplan, came on Imus this morning and said that Crowley is starting another talk show, "soon" This Ann Coulter "lite" has been a miserable failure at MSNBC, so why would Kaplan rehire her? Another thing is why hire another neo-con nutjob? Why not another liberal or moderate to balance out such shows as Joe Scarborough and Tucker Carlson? Keith Olbermann has the highest rated show on the network right now, and that should be a signal to Mr. Kaplan, but apparently, he doesn't see it, or wants to ogle Crowley from the booth because she's hot!!! Get serious Rick, putting Crowley back on the air is a bad move. You'll probably have to get rid of her because of low ratings anyway, so save yourself the trouble, and don't hire her in the first place.

1. A solution

Turn it off. That crap's worse for you than high fructose corn syrup, which, at least, has a nice-sounding name.

Turn it off. There's nothing worthwhile there, anyway.

5. I won't watch it, but this absolutely sucks!!!

2. Give Ron Reagan the show instead? :-) eom

3. Kaplan has made his views about balance quite clear.

He sees no need for it. He hold liberals in complete contempt and hasn't been shy about saying so.

4. They always beef up the RW roster in elections years. Been doing it

since the network started. So does CNN.

6. It's like movies filmed under Nazi Occupation in France

(thinking of Les Enfants Du Paradis for example): a certain percentage of people hired by the director/producers for the extras and crew must be collaborators faithful to the Nazi occupiers.

7. It is beginning to look a bit suspicious!!

First Rita Cosby and now Monica Crowley? Hmmmm. How did either of them get any jobs on television at all? They both are terrible at their jobs but they must be good at something.......Sorry. But I can not help but wonder. Pretty blondes with no talent getting highly visible, well paying jobs. Makes me wonder.

8. I wonder how Rita got that Foggo in her throat?

11. Teee Heee!!!

I confess my hubby and I have said the same thing. My hubby says she must have some sort of an injury to her throat. Hee Hee. I said one should never bite off more than they can chew!!! LOL.

9. The reason is that Kaplan is most likely a Neo-Con

Regardless of his words, his actions have been fully in the service of BushCo.

10. I don't think

She ever actually got fired. Connected got the axe at the end of last year. But, I've seen her on a couple of shows debating various people on various issues and they always describe her as an MSNBC analyst. As far as putting another neo-con on the air, she's not getting a primetime slot and MSNBC did just give Alliston Stewart her own show.

12. THIEF!!!

You stole my post...

13. Didn't Jon Stewart do a thing on blondes? nt

14. Cause Keith is scaring the crap out of the RepubliCONS

They need even more to "balance' because ROVER will get mad at them.

[TankLV]

15. They needed a FAT IGNORANT COW to "balance" thing?!

I can't imagine why.

16. Because she's a right wing hack with a pretty face, that's why

Form MSNBC

17. I still remember her "green tea" comment from the election

as if ordering green tea made Kerry an elitist. No, it made him a cancer survivor who was doing something healthy for himself. And if my local grocery sells it, how elitist can it be?
