Dumb teevee newzreader ..........
...... or the dumbest teevee newzreader?

MSNBC's resident on-air moron, Contessa Brewer


In my view, there is enough air in that head to inflate all the tires on an 18-wheeler..

4. Call it the culmination of her having early afternoon anchor duties and ..........
..... me having the teevee on as background in the early afternoon.

Sparkly told me to stop screaming or turn off the teevee. Consider this, further, my noiseless scream. :)

I read someplace that she got her 'big break' when she got hired to be the recently professionally deceased Imus' newsreader for his radio/MSNBC simulcast. She quit and was given another job at MSNBC when he was 'not nice' to her on air one day.

5. 'Good looking' is subjective.
My boat remains low tide bound in her presence.

8. She's just another prompter reader
Edited on Thu Jun-21-07 02:21 PM by Rick Myers
If you typed "I'm a raving bonehead" in the middle of a story, she'd read it...

Remember the scene in Anchorman where Ron Burgundy stumbles in his sign off and the producer yells "Alright, who put a question mark on the prompter?"

15. Actually .... were she actually asking a question, she'd be engaged .....
.... what she does is read questions posed by her producers.
