Keith Olbermann Fired...Oh The Humannnnity!!

Friday marked the end of Countdown on MSNBC as Keith Olbermann both abruptly resigned and was fired by MSNBC.

That’s a talented way to go out by golly!! Only an ego of massive proportions could pull a daily double like that!!

And well…his ego was more than up to the task…per usual.

I won’t miss Olbermann, and I’m not sure why.

Maybe it’s my overwhelming dislike for him propagated by his, picayunish way he points out any piece of minutiae that may make any right winger look stupid.

Perhaps it’s his uber sponge-like quality of self-absorption. It could be because he is just like Sean Hannity, El Rushbo, and Glenn Beck and doesn’t recognize that fact.

Those are all good reasons to dislike him, but I think it all comes down to the fact that Olbermann is a narcissistic fucktard.

Yeah…I’m pretty sure that’s it.

Anyhoo…I’m glad Olbermann is gone. He’s a bloviating jack ass.

So to Keith Olbermann I say…

Good Night, and Good Riddance, Sir!!

And to all of you, I say…

Cheers!!

Keith Olbermann Suspended By MSNBC...For Two Days!! Talk About Your I'm With Stupid Moment!!

If you haven’t heard...

Keith Olbermann was suspended “indefinitely” on Friday by MSNBC for violating a campaign contribution policy placed by MSNBC on their talking head types.

Some of you are probably asking…

“So?”

Some of you are saying…

“Good!!”

Many of you are probably asking…

“Who?”

Olbermann is a pretentious bastard who does an uber-left talk/opinion/agree with me or go to hell, type political show on MSNBC weeknights at 8 PM EST.

Against the MSNBC policy of their hosts contributing to political campaigns without permission, Olbermann along with his ginormous ego donated to three Democratic candidates this past year.

He was “indefinitely” suspended, well…if indefinitely means for two shows.

MSNBC wimped out, and Penis Envy Keith will be back Tuesday night and I’m sure he will be painting a canvass with a broad brush of hyperbole and histrionics that only he can.

I loathe him, and I am disappointed in MSNBC for their mere slap on the wrist of such a lying hypocrite.

Olbermann and his buddy Rachel Maddow (also on MSNBC) claim to have no agenda. Ha!!

They pimp out a far left agenda on MSNBC just as obviously as Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck pimp out the far right on FOX News.

It’s a joke, and so is Olbermann. And now..?

Some fun!!

This Friday November 12th at 11 PM EST on I’m with Stupid
, Jay and I will be discussing all the social networking and media outlets that are everywhere.

Facebook, Twitter, Blogging etc. will be the topic of discussion.

We want to know why you use them. Perhaps why don’t, and all that jazz.

This subject is also the opening to a new segment that we will be doing every week on I’m With Stupid if we can get you to participate with us.

Beginning this Friday, in addition to the social media topic and all of our other fun and frivolity we want to interview YOU!!

If you have a blog and it is current and active we want to ask you questions about it and help you to pimp it out just like Keith Olbermann does the far left agenda!!

We will be doing one blog a week and really get into the what, whys, and where-to-fores of your blogsite.

If you would like to be a special guest of I’m With Stupid in this respect let Jay or I know and we will have you on the air with us and pimp out you and your website.

Especially for this week’s show, let us know no later than Wednesday so we can go through your blog and prepare for a good interview.

So let us know by emailing us…

Jay: jayman3768@gmail.com

Or…

Matt: neshobadude@yahoo.com

Have a wonderful Monday Chuckleheads, and as always…

Cheers!!

Morning Joe: Harold Ford, Jr., Ideologues, and The Question It Begs

I was watching Morning Joe on MSNBC Tuesday morning as I do everyday, and a very interesting discussion took place between Joe Scarborough, Melissa Harris-Lacewell, Harold Ford, Jr., and my man crush, author and editor of Newsweek magazine, Jon Meacham.

Mika Brzezinski, Scarborough’s co-host, was at the table as well being her usual pretentious, oblivious, ass-hat self, and offering nothing of substance.

Anyhoo…

The conversation centered on former Rep. Harold Ford’s (D-TN) aborted run for the U.S. Senate seat in New York.

Now, when he was a citizen of Tennessee, Ford ran for the U.S. Senate seat in Tennessee and he was defeated because he was deemed to be a Liberal.

After he moved to New York, he was going to run in the Democrat primary against Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), but he dropped out, mainly because New York Democrats find him to be too much of a Conservative.

The conversation brought up a good issue. Do we as voters, focus on a couple of key issues with which we define a candidate…issues that really in the big scheme of things, affect a minority of people?

Scarborough brought up a couple of these issues. Namely, abortion and gay marriage.

He went on to say that actual leadership ability is far down on the list of what voters look at when choosing.

During this back and forth between the panel (minus input from Mika who is a disaster when it comes to critical thinking except for her demand that we tax pop and fast food), I agreed that yes…

Many Americans DO base their vote on these issues, politicians exploit those issues, and in turn we end up with elected officials who are sub-par and nothing gets done.

And…it’s a fucking shame.

So let me put this question to you folks today…

If you are a person who has a Liberal bent on things political, how would you answer the following…

If there is a candidate for President who has a staunch history of being pro-life, and anti gay marriage, yet was guaranteed by God himself that if elected, would reduce unemployment to zero, balance the budget, and eliminate our nation’s debt would you vote for him or her?

I’m thinking that bonehead ideologues such as Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, and many others would say, “NO.” Would you?

And conversely…

If you are a person who has a Conservative bent on things political, how would you answer the following…

If there is a candidate for President who has a staunch history of being pro-choice, and pro gay marriage, yet was guaranteed by God himself that if elected, would reduce unemployment to zero, balance the budget, and eliminate our nation’s debt would you vote for him or her?

I’m thinking that moronic ideologues such as Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, and many others would say, “NO.”

Does that really make sense to you, ‘cause it sure as Hell doesn’t to me…

I am damn well sure that all over this country there are gay men and women who don’t give a rat’s ass whether they can marry or not, because they are too busy struggling to find a job.

And, there are church going women throughout this land who are thinking about how they are going to buy groceries and not about their right to have an abortion that they, in the future, may or may not need.

Abortion, gay marriage, and other issues all have their place at the table of debate, but…

Shouldn’t we focus on the issues that affect every American before we tackle those?

Or, should we stand idly by and allow others who haven’t a care in the world other than for their ratings or reelection bid to determine the course of this country?

To paraphrase Mr. Spock…To you, do the immediate needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one?

Let me know your answer.

Cheers!!

Return From Elba: Don Imus Premiers on FOX Business Network

Today, Monday October 5th, 2009 is a big day in the world of morning talk shows.

The antediluvian, ophidian looking, sarcastic son of a bitch, Don Imus returns to TV today as he will now be simulcasting his radio show on FOX Business Network.

Yes friends, a little over two years after being unceremoniously canned by MSNBC, The I-Man has returned to television.

The President of FOX News and my fellow Ohioan, Roger Ailes, has decided that any wounds resulting from I-Man’s April 2007 “nappy headed ho’s” quote in reference to the Rutgers University women’s basketball team, have healed, and...

The I-Man is ready for “Primetime TV” once more…well, that the I-Man is once again ready for “Holy Crap It’s Early!! TV.”

I was behind Imus when the hubbub over his “ho” remark occurred. I wasn’t behind him because of his remark, although I found it to be pretty damn tame.



I was behind him because of the hypocrisy of those who wanted him fired.

Al Roker who appeared on the Imus in the Morning show numerous times in order to hump his latest book, was “outraged” by what Imus had said.

Baby Daddy, Jesse Jackson used the “scandal” in order to attempt to resurrect his long lost relevance.

Al Sharpton, who once said, “White folks was in caves while we was building empires…We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.” was driving the Fire Imus Bandwagon.

MSNBC and CBS Radio were outraged as well…not by his comment, but by the fact that they were losing advertising revenue over the incident.

Jackson, Sharpton, MSNBC, CBS, and many other people and groups wore their hypocrisy and phoniness on their sleeves over this “scandal.”


It was completely and intentionally blown out of proportion by civil rights ambulance chasers and multimedia bean counters.

But…that is in the past. Today, Imus, while he has continued to air his show on radio, begins anew on TV.

I’m going to watch it today, but eh…

While I have always found Imus to be funny in a rude, asshole type of way, I’m hooked on Morning Joe (Brewed By Starbucks) on MSNBC.


I know, Joe Scarborough is as Conservative as they come, but he has the best guests on…and they come from all political spectrums.

On top of that, if I want to be amused by a rude asshole, I’ll just read my old posts (like this one) or write a new one. So…

I’m glad that Imus is back. I think he got a raw deal by being fired, although he did get a 40 Million Dollar settlement from CBS.


But hey, if you’re one of those who thinks he didn’t get punished enough, consider this…

Even though Imus is back on TV, he’s on FOX Business Network. FOX Business Network, People!! Holy Cow!!


It’s channel 353 on the Bagwine cable box. Who has the strength and where-with-all to punch THREE numbers into their remote!?

I bet Ailes would have rather put Imus on FOX News Channel in the morning in place of the Fox and Friends Stooges: Doocy, Kilmeade, and Carlson, but being the smart guy that Ailes is, he recognizes something important.

People who watch Fox and Friends during the week, don’t like to think for themselves. They want the right wing honey served to them on top of their morning oatmeal.

The I-Man? He sometimes has opinions that go against the grain of those types of people. Ailes doesn’t want to upset those folks, especially during breakfast. It could very well confuse them for the rest of the day.

Cheers!!

Fuck Al Roker, I Want a Real Tornado Warning

Boy, Oh Boy do I have something to get off of my chest.

Listen up, Bitches. I have of all things, a complaint about TV.

Now listen, I’m not someone who watches much TV at all. No, not because I am some type of elitist, but because the only TV that I typically watch is as follows…

News/Political Talk Shows…Sports…Seinfeld Re-Runs, and The Weather Channel.

It is the last mention, The Weather Channel, that has me furious. And trust me, the last time I was furious was when I found out that Schmoop only came once during our sex session last night of June 14, 2008.

Laugh all you want, but trust me, I am pissed at my beloved Weather Channel. The meteorological muthafuckahs have sold out.

Let me ’splain.

Remember when MTV used to play music? Remember when VH-1 did the same? I know…I do too.

Of course they decided to go against their own grain and start showing and producing their own, “eclectic” productions.

The Real World…Tia, I’m an Ugly Bisexual Bitch Idiot…Best Week Ever (Hosted by B-List Comedians and Actors in Rehab)

Oy Vay, and What the Fuck!?

Well my friends, The Weather Channel, which had been on the same slippery slope, has finally and completely jumped the shark and gone the same way as MTV and VH-1.

Starting July 20th, The Weather Channel will air a new segment on weekdays from 6-7 A.M. called, creepily enough, “Wake Up With Al”.

And who is the Al, with you and I will be awaking? Al Fucking Roker. That’s right. That big tub of vacuous, chocolate pudding that is Al Roker.

Holy Cow!! Or should that be, Holy Occluded Front!?

Listen up, my friends…I am quite the amateur meteorologist, and know more about weather than the average person. And, this action by The Weather Channel?

Well…it sticks deeply within my dew point, and my barometer is tossing mercury left and right.

I understand that NBC bought the Weather Channel, but does that mean that they need to sodomize America by showing Al Roker on TWO networks instead of one every weekday morning?

The Weather Channel has Jim Cantore, Mike Seidel, Heather “I Love Thunderstorms” Tesch (purrrrrrr) and other ACTUAL meteorologists.

Why do they have to rain on my TV breakfast and pee on my eggs by thrusting Roker on me?

I hate Roker…First of all, he’s not an ACTUAL meteorologist and secondly he’s a hypocrite.

When Imus was on MSNBC, Roker said that he loved him and had always listened to him. Roker went on Imus’ show, and pimped his book.

When Imus called the Rutgers ladies b-ball team a bunch of nappy headed ho’s?

Roker was "OUTRAGED!!" Mainly because, Roker had already used Imus in order to pimp his book.

Gimme a break…I don't know, but I do hope Roker‘s stomach staples will someday give way. I do know a couple of things, however.

The Weather Channel is going to get ruined by NBC and their hiring of people who are not ACTUAL meteorologists in order to turn a profit.

And…

Al Roker is going to be struck down dead by lightning while eating a ham and cheese sandwich.

At least that’s my hope.

Cheers!!

Get Your Hand Out of My Chips!!

Sunday morning I was watching Fox and Friends Weekend.

Yes, I watch it on the weekends because well...


The two dudes are not incredibly hateable like their weekday counterparts, Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade.

And…

Unlike Fox and Friends weekday Gumby Gal, Gretchen Carlson, Alisyn Camerota can put complete sentences together and is smokin’ hot.


Anyhoo…

They had uber-nutjob and founder of National Action Against Obesity (NAAO), MeMe Roth on. Oh, how I loathe her simple, skinny ass.

She’s a Food Nazi who has called for boycotts of Girl Scout cookies, said that Jordin Sparks should not have won American Idol because she’s fat, and wants junk food banned altogether.

She’s a goofball and media whore, and her appearance on F&F just fired me up about this whole movement to tax and/or ban “junk food”.

Roth is far from alone in the movement to tax or ban certain products. Governor Patterson of New York wants to tax sodas that are high in sugar.

It’s all because there is a childhood obesity epidemic and the Guv wants nothing but the best of health for the cheeeeldren.


Oh, and the 1.2 BILLION Dollars the tax would generate for the state would be nice too.

Individuals and advocacy groups popping up over the issue of junk food related obesity are almost always involved in the cause for one of two reasons.

Either they want to generate money through taxes or…


THEY CAN’T MIND THEIR OWN DAMN BUSINESS, BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY KNOW WHAT’S BEST FOR OTHERS!!

Jesus Christ, now dig it…

Weekday mornings I watch Morning Joe on MSNBC. It’s hosted by Joe Scarborough, a former U.S. Rep from Florida.

He’s quite the conservative, but I find him funny and they have really good and varied guests on.

The only drawback to his show? His co-host, Mika Brzezinski.

Oh dear God, she is a Junk Food Nazi just like MeMe Roth.

She finds it super duper that smoking is banned in all places but one’s bathroom.

And, she loves the fact that Gov. Patterson wants to tax soda.

She think it’s “cool” because he is taxing things that are bad for people.

She often berates Scarborough for his weight and sometimes refers to herself as, “Mommy”. Uh-Huh, if that doesn’t hit the societal nail on the head.

Some people want to be everyone’s mommy and dictate how they live. I’ve got two words for Mommy Brzezinski and others of her self-rightgeous ilk…

Get Stuffed!!

Because of people like these, laws have been enacted that force us to wear seatbelts, helmets, and in turn, veto our personal choices and responsibility.

They have grossly exaggerated the effects of second hand smoke which has forced smokers to hide in the shadows while paying exorbitant taxes. And now…

These same people want to tell us what to eat and drink, all in the name of the children.

Gimme a break. It’s all about the money and busy-bodyism.

So, Food Nazis, let me eat my junk food tax free and guilt free, because while it might not be good for me, it tastes so much better than the line of bullshit that you are feeding me.

Cheers!!
