MSRNC leaving no mediocrity behind: Larry ELDER

[UTUSN]

So having tried out a --------GASP------- Leftie in Stephanie as a glitch in their list of wingnuts, now they are running to a miasmic Middle mediocrity.

ELDER started out in my waking moments this A.M., with attacking the minorities who were rubber bulleted on 5-1. He went on to claim his "posse" of two women are Dems. But mostly he did a slow vomit of every namby pamby platitude supporting Shrub: "He took us off defense and put us on offense."


Then David DRIER, who took the STARKLY BRAVE (cough) position of endorsing GIULIANI. This one, too, went on with the amorphous Middle platitudes approach.


Then Orson BEAN. Now there's a name I hadn't heard in scores of years. He said something about liking to have his wife "naked and (making? smelling?) bacon"... Now THAT's an image I could have done without for the REST of not-hearing from Orson BEAN. Oh, BEAN says he's the first one to use the word "horny" on network t.v., which he said derives from "a young deer sprouting horns." Oh, and he's 2nd cousins to a president. But you'll have to wait, BREATHLESSLY, till after the break to find out who!!1

1. Why not just hire Armstrong Williams, Jeff Gannon, and Maggie Gallagher

And give them their own show, the Bush Administration Propaganda Hour?

[babylonsister]

2. I knew nothing about Elder til I tuned in for a few minutes this am. Now,

I'm again boycotting MSNBC until they can find someone acceptable. I refuse to watch; I can't stand Drier on CSPAN, why subject myself to him or his ilk any other time?
You don't watch, Elder doesn't get the gig.

[UTUSN]

3. COOLIDGE. Calvin COOLIDGE. Or "Cal" as Orson calls him. And he's for RUDY!!1

He said he's for RUDY RUDY RUDY "because he can beat Hillary." Now he's spewing about how he's a lonely Rethug in Dem Hollywood. Now the posse is mealy mouthing about how Hollywood is "leaning" Rethug, like, in the closet Rethug.

Oh, BEAN says his son in law is Andrew something-or-other, who "runs the DRUDGE Reprot" with Matt PUDGE. So there you have it.

[supernova]

4. Orson Bean?!?

I thought he died when Match Game went off the air.

[Toots]

5. "He took us off defense and put us on offense."

As any good coach will tell you the "best offense is a good defense".

[KoKo]

6. I turned it off....disgusting...and the MSNBC set is so distracting

that even with Stephanie on it was like watching a circus with all the flashing lights, multiple screens and screen shots plus the background rolling of Chimperor walking and waving, walking and waving, walking and waving.

MSNBC is a disgrace expect for Olbermann.

[notadmblnd]

7. I have to disagree ... this war was offensive from the get go

in more ways that one.

Andrew Breitbart (Co-Author of the Drudge Report) goes Web 2.0


http://www.ojr.org/ojr/stories/050503glaser/

.... But on the plus side, Huffington has surrounded herself with a group that's heavy on satire, heavy on irony and heavy on controversy. She has comedian Harry Shearer doing a journalist-watchdog feature called "Eat the Press" and has tapped former Drudge sidekick Andrew Breitbart to edit the news headline section as he did for Drudge.

Breitbart has worked for Huffington before. He is in an interesting spot, as he co-wrote the 2004 book "Hollywood, Interrupted," a moralizing book on celebs and limo liberals that calls out various group bloggers from Huffington Post, including Rob Reiner and Norman Lear.

Breitbart wouldn't comment for this article, but did make a statement to the blogosphere through Roger Simon's blog.

"I like to go where the action is," he wrote. "Bringing my former boss and longtime friend Arianna's intriguing friends to the blogosphere, the ultimate level playing field, makes perfect sense to me, and I am thrilled to be committed to such a groundbreaking project. Will my pals on the right have a place to offer their two cents at the Huffington Post? Absolutely. Will I agree with everyone's written word? Of course not. But that's precisely the point. May the best ideas win."

Huffington told me Breitbart's news headlines would run on the right side of the home page while the group blog would be on the left side -- perhaps a not-so-subtle play on their political orientation. But the wild card could be the 200 or so people that will be included in the group blog but haven't been trumpeted to the media yet. They could be the swing vote that tips the Post in any direction. ....

10. More on BREITBART

*******QUOTE*******

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Breitbart

Breitbart has appeared as a conservative commentator on talk shows such as Real Time with Bill Maher and Dennis Miller. <2> Breitbart took on a higher profile as a commentator during the 2004 U.S. election cycle after appearing in Michael Moore Hates America <3>, a 2004 movie directed by Michael Wilson that is highly critical of filmmaker Michael Moore's documentary creation tactics and editing style. As a guest commentator on FOX News Channel's morning show on May 10th, 2004, Breitbart explained that "Michael Moore's been lying for ten years. Every time that guy lies he gains a pound. He's like a culinary Pinocchio" and "Yeah, they love him. They love the sort of anti-middle American vibe that the guy gives off because he's from Flint, Michigan, so he can ostensibly claim to be speaking for Middle America. But the guy lives on the Upper West Side, and he's the classic elitist."

.... Andrew Breitbart — who works with Matt Drudge on the infamous Drudge Report — is a lifelong area guy — Brentwood born and bred. ....

NRO: You're a winger doing your thing out there. How much to you mingle with the Hollywood scene? Is it relatively avoidable if that's your inclination?

Breitbart: I grew up in Brentwood. And though my family was in the restaurant business it was impossible not to be socially immersed in "the industry."

If you don't disagree with these people on politics, some can be as decent as anyone you'd ever want to meet. But once out of the closet, one becomes a marked person.

At parties I see people who now know where I stand, and I see them working up the courage to confront me. I try to be as jocular as humanly possible just to irk them. I don't want to be immediately dismissed as some puritan or Nazi. But eventually he or she will steer the conversation to weapons of mass destruction or "neocons" and the discussion goes quickly south from there. At that point my wife usually has to separate us. On the drive home, I find myself resorting to grade-school form: "But I swear I didn't start it." ....

9. I just about vomited my raisin bran. It took Elder all of 30 seconds

to spout every Administration talking point as to why we went into Iraq. If my television weren't so expensive, I'd have destroyed it.

[Carni]

11. Elder is even worse -- than the bald a-hole!

WHAT a DISGUSTINGLY transparent pile of crap that was this morning!

Why don't they just have Cheney and Bush host the thing directly and cut out the middle man?

I KNEW that whatever they replaced Imus with, would be a bush cheerleader and other than three measely days of Stephanie Miller for appeasement purposes...
I think MSNBC is fulfilling my predictions.

At least ImANass spoke correctly about bush/cheney and their war crimes...now we are stuck with GOP advertising on CNN and MSNBC again in the mornings.

As to that elderly right winged man--I had never even heard of the old duffer until this morning. They must be really reaching, when they have to pull old, has been, game show guys, in their 80's, out of the woodwork to endorse the bush cabal.

[Catchawave]

12. Good grief, that was horrible

Drier waving the "FEAR FLAG". Imus would have called him a moron.

I turned it off when I heard the name Orson Bean...:banghead:

[rurallib]

13. Will Orson run for president as a repuke? They need a savior.

He has to be as good as Fred Thompson. "Orson Bean. He's a human Bean"
