Who is Rita Cosby and why are her Collagen Lips all over my TV?

[NightOwwl]

I stopped watching MSM after the election, but now that David Gregory is on Hardball I'm a little ashamed to admit I've been tuning in again.

They are inundating me with breathless promos for this woman on every commercial break. Who is she and where did she come from? But more importantly, why are they wasting an hour a day on this bimbo?

BTW, I have a 50 inch plasma TV, and let me tell you, her lips are HUGE! :*

:silly:

1. It's official, if they have previously worked at Faux

they just can't shake that yuk factor with me....

[LSparkle]

2. I'll bet her scratchy, raspy voice sounds really good on a big set, too

AAARGHHHH. Like nails on a chalkboard.

[NightOwwl]

4. Try to imagine that voice in Surround sound...

AAARRRGGGHH!!! It's killing me!

[LSparkle]

6. The mute button was MADE for her ...

[AlCzervik]

3. She's the evil spawn of Whoraldo Rivera and Greta Von Facelift.

5. I suggest we don't watch rita

If enough viewers tune out MSNBC at 9pm maybe she'll go the way of what's his name....Dennis Miller something !!! Rita has little talent and a ton of baby fat...As soon as Keith Oberman tosses his nightly papers in the air at 8:59pm I hit the remote..

7. The point is they WANT to lose viewers.

It appears that GE has undertaken campaign to lose viewers. If people watch, they have to show something. This is like a loss leader for GE. The fewer people that watch TV, the longer they can sell weapons and profit from war. That's where the money is.

If Rita (yawn) does too well, they'll find somebody worse.

8. oh, CNN was SO LUCKY to get Cosby away from Faux

haven't you heard?

Yeah, there's a whole website devoted to the atrocious complexions of TV/film stars as revealed by 50 in. plasma tvs. can't find it right now, though

[NightOwwl]

11. Seriously? That sounds hilarious!

I'd love to surf that website. Please post the URL if you happen to come across it. Thanks!

[Eloriel]

12. Please not. This thread is superficial -- and sexist -- enough,

thank you very little.

16. Would it make you feel better if I called Karl Rove a big fat ugly pig?

Nah.Didn't think so.

14. Here's the link I was talking about

9. brian lamb on c-span this AM showed

her lame ass ratings for the last 3 days. Almost 600,000 on Monday down to 300,000 on Thursday. A brilliant fox news HO debut!

:rofl:

10. Once Upon A Time, Rita Cosby was a pretty good journalist

Since she gave the impression of having a modicum of intelligence and the ability to listen to people she might not agree with, I wondered what she was doing at FOX, but the answer was plain: she was whoring.

When she came to MSNBC, I figured, "maybe she wants to do real journalism again," but her debut has been less than auspicious.

Okay, it's been less than credible.

That's the way it goes sometimes. On cable TV, it's The Way It Is.

13. All are welcome to join me in my pledge

To: [e-mail] <[e-mail]>

Subject: Rita Cosby is unwatchable

We neither need nor desire an hour of her inane tripe disguised as news. I can feel my brain cells dying a painful tortured death whenever she graces my screen. I have no problem finding better things to do with my time during her show, but please for the love of God, stop putting her on Countdown.

If your goal is to dumb down your viewing public, I am more than willing to pledge to drink a guinness on the days when you want to put her on Countdown, but think better of it. I am sure others would be willing to take this pledge with me, if it will make a difference. We want to help you meet your goals, but there are certainly more enjoyable ways for us to kill those pesky cells in our noggins.

17. Could those lips...

be vaginal?

20. Hey guys, you'll never guess what Rita Skeeter's covering next week.

She's going to give time to a story that has been pitifully undercovered by MSNBC in the past.

That's right...she's jumping on the Natalee Holloway bandwagon.

I know you all just can't wait. Until then, too bad if you missed tonight's show, with footage of a guy getting killed by a grizzly bear.

Gee, I missed it. It's getting to the point where I have to shut the TV off the second Keith pitches the ball of paper at the camera. Whatever they put on after him is pathetic.
