MSNBC Drops Olbermann, Matthews as News Anchors

19 Comments

Conservabear, greetings

Even though I have boycotted both of them since the 2004 elections, I am glad that they are being reined back. I'd prefer to see both of them blowing up balloons at an amusement park.

I'd prefer to see them ON a balloon at an amusement park, ON THE WAY TO THE MOON.

Let me guess,

You're not a fan club member either! They both probably have part-time jobs working with the Obama campaign.

It couldn't happen

to two bigger weirdos. I'm happy momentarily. Now we've got to get David Gregory off the air.

Garnet, I've made my choice, stop by.....

These two WILL show up elsewhere. Bank on it. Most likely Matthews will wind up as press sec. in a Obama admin.Olberman,would most likely see him back at sports. Look at Stephanopolis. Clintonista extraordinaire. Now ABC's arguably top dog? Seems like Dem staffers and libstream media are interchangeable.

Right, they're both idiots, Dave

I used to watch Mathews - until 2004 - when I saw his "interview" of Michelle Malkin - that's the last time I've seen him. I've never liked Olbermann and go to "mute" when he's on during half-time of NFL football.

So, things have coagulated? I'll be there in a few minutes.

clyde, that's reason enough

to make sure that Obama doesn't have an administration - Matthews as Press Secretary - that's a hoot! He'd have to do his briefings sitting down 'cause he couldn't stop that leg tingling - like Robert Klein's "I can't stop my leg." I love that bit!

Can you imagine Matthews as press secretary for Obama? He would be giggling so much and just tingling all day long.

I did click on Olbermann last night while I was changing channels and Olbermann was calling Gov Palin a liar.

Together Matthews and Olbermann went beyond negative and into hate. I used to watch MSNBC years ago, but stopped when all they do is bash Fox News and stand up and cheer and do the "wave" for Obama.

I just can't stand those guys

I'm sorry, I just can't stop saying it. The thought of that smirking Matthews as press secretary drives me insane. I'm hoping Obama loses, big time.

Sue and Dave

IF Obama were to win (a repulsive thought), he’d have bunches of professional talkers from which to choose – after all, almost all of the network talking heads have their noses up his rear. He could set the requirements for the press secretary pretty high.......

Uh oh.

Forgive me, guys, I wrote a few requirements and then a few more, and soon I was having fun and decided to make it a post – Obammy’s requirements to become his press secretary. I’ll post it later today.

Garnet92

Well, if Obama does win, I can't even bare the thought,since MSNBC is in the tank for him, do you think that his Secretary of State will be Andrea Mitchell. She is such the expert you know! Ugh!

As for Matthews, he grossed me out during Ronald Reagan's funeral. Yes, I had MSNBC on that day. They put the camera on him and he was chowing down on a sandwich and half of it was hanging out of his mouth with mayo stuck to the side of his face. Very professional, I have to say.

As for Olbmermann, was he dropped as a child? He is so mean and nasty. I can't get over the things he says and gets away with. And by the way, how many jobs has he been fired from?

Sue, I've got an inside source

that says that Obama has a crush on Madeline Albright and is considering divorcing Michelle to be with her. Now, that'd be a pair!

bob's - you mean the underwear kind?

Nah, can't agree with that - underwear skid marks are much more valuable to humanity than Matthews or Olbermann.

You snuck up on me Dave

I almost missed that comment - children? you mean progeny of Obama and Albright? Geez, Dave you really know how to trigger stomach convulsions - better go gulp down some Pepto.

Hey did you know

Hey, did you know this about Olberman:

"Olbermann damaged his depth perception in 1980 when rushing to catch a subway car at Shea Stadium, he slammed his head into the top of the door frame. Because of the injury that caused him to lose his depth perception, he doesn't drive."

I did not know that

But is does explain why he can't seem to control how far up his a$$ he has his head.
