Who the hell is this ?

[SharonRB]

Never heard of him.

[Patsy Stone]

1. Someone from the mailroom?

An NBC page? I'm not watching. I've just put a parental block on MSNBC so I don't give them ratings by accident as I flip the channels. If I feel the need to watch Rachel, I'll do it on Justin TV so I don't contribute to the ratings or see ads by their advertisers.

:hi:. I think I'm going to eat something.

[SeattleGirl]

3. I'm watching a rerun of Ghost Whisperer

Might as well give ION Television another viewer rather than MSNBC.

[SharonRB]

5. Well, seeing as no one else is watching

And Larry's not on tonight, I think it's time to find something else to watch. I do want to hear what he says about Keith, though.

[Patsy Stone]

8. Thomas Roberts. Actually a very interesting bio.

[SharonRB]

21. Very interesting

And now he's doing a video Barbie story.

[greenmutha]

41. Eerily prescient thread title last night, Patsy.

:scared:

[SeattleGirl]

2. I don't know. I'm not watching.

I hope MSNBC's numbers plummet for what they did.

[bunny planet]

4. I actually don't want their numbers to plummet

for Rachel's sake, and Ed, and now Cenk. I'd just turn it off for Keith's hour and then turn it back on for Rachel. Makes a point in ratings without damaging remaining programs ratings. Not sure what the hell else to do besides call and write for now. YIkes, just when I was going to get back to watching regularly again.

I feel like its the bad old days of 2004 again only this time without KO.

[SharonRB]

7. I'm with you, Bunny

Why hurt everyone?

[Patsy Stone]

10. Bunny!

:hug: Crazy times...

[bunny planet]

32. Indeed.

I see your point about it too Patsy. I'm going to turn on Rachel tonight (hopefully she's on) just to show her some support in a very awkward situation for her. Keith didn't get her on MSNBC but he certainly championed her in her efforts to get her own show. She must be feeling like shite about this. Plus, it really does send a chill. Now that Cenk is doing so much MSNBC work filling in for just about everyone, I wonder whether or not he'll even speak out on his own show on the internet about how outrageous this whole thing is with KO getting suspended. That remains to be seen. If he wants to continue being on MSNBC, he'll probably have to quell his instincts to be vocal about this as well. So, to recap, from what I understand, Glen Beck joked about the President being decapitated today, but Keith Olbermann is in danger of losing his job because he made a political campaign contribution that he didn't clear with his employer first. I've got nothin' else, I'm back to WTF.

[Patsy Stone]

38. That's about the size of it.

Either way ten people watching or not watching doesn't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. :hug: Phil will know exactly why his ratings tanked, and he'll have to answer for it. As curious as I am to hear what they're going to say about KO, I'll just read one of the thousands of threads about it after the fact. Phil could have made this whole thing easier on himself if he just put a time frame on it.

You'll be very proud of me, I just typed this whole thing with my thumbs. :)

[bunny planet]

45. We need a proud smilie

I gave up the thumb thing awhile ago - I'm old.

[bunny planet]

34. I think that's exactly what they want us to do.

Turn it off, so that the other progressive voices lose their ratings, then they can replace them too. Not sure how we can outsmart them, whoever they are.

[Patsy Stone]

22. I don't agree, but I love you.

Keith is the highest rated show, but since they're trying to cater to Liberals, and until he gets a clue he needs to know that they can't keep doing this. Fool me once, Phil, shame on you. Fool me twice, won't get fooled again. I need him to know this Democrat is pissed.

[bunny planet]

37. I love you too!!!

:-) :loveya: and floaty hearts for Keef (like back in the day)

[Patsy Stone]

39. Lots and lots.

:loveya::loveya::loveya::loveya:

Too bad this didn't happen last week. At least he could have gone to the World Series.

[greenmutha]

42. "I feel like its the bad old days of 2004 again only this time without KO."

My feelings *exactly* bun-bun.

How ya doin'? :hug:

[Botany]

6. he has just dropped 2 or 3 right wing "talking points"

He is a right winger ..... it seeps out of him.

"So explain to me how higher taxes will make rich people
hire more?"

Hey douche nozzle the # of jobs dropped after the bush tax cuts to the rich.

I can't watch any more of that crap ..... I fear for my country the minority
is going to run the majority in favor of the really rich. Rachel and Ed
are gonna be next.

[Patsy Stone]

11. If he is, he's an openly gay RWer.

See the bio above. :hi:

[Botany]

14. I don't care if he is gay or not

I can smell a right wing talking point

[Patsy Stone]

24. I have no doubt you can

And I don't know if he's RW or not; just saying if he is, he's not your average RW'er.

[Botany]

27. Sorry .... I didn't mean to lash out @ My Fave

but I can not help but think this is just the start of some dark times .......

[Patsy Stone]

30. Aw

I didn't take it personally. We're all a little discombobulated today. :hug:

[Botany]

33. the right wing lies only work where truth is not allowed

K.O. held a mirror up to those lies.

Hell the 2010 election was about blaming the democrats for
problems that the republicans caused ..... and thanx to
Citizens United, Fox, and a republican party that said no to
anything that could help people the lies became reality
and America is gonna get screwed too

[SharonRB]

31. I don't think he's a righty.

[Patsy Stone]

35. (me either)

I just can't really prove it, other than what I got from the bio.

[ralps]

9. I have no idea! I'm going to listen to Norman Goldman until

MSNBC reinstates Keith!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :grr:

[rusty charly]

17. Best Idea.

Norm's the man.

[SeattleGirl]

18. Has Norm gotten any better? I stopped listening to him months

ago because he was always carping on Obama, non-stop it seemed. I got tired of it. Yeah, criticize the man when he deserves it, but sheesh! Norm was going overboard with it!

I think he's at his best when he's explaining the law and how it works, or talking about a particular case. I do like listening to him then, but as I said, I thought he was going overboard with the negativity against Obama, and decided to stop listening to him.

[ralps]

26. He's kicking ass On the Keith Olbermann story!! He's been giving out all

the info on Phil Griffen including Griffen's phone no.!! & Phil Griffen's voice Mail is full! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

28. Good on him, then!

[ralps]

36. Hi rusty charly

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :hug:

[soleiri]

12. I don't know

But what a sucky thing to do to an intern on the first day.

sit here, read this...

what?

[Patsy Stone]

13. Hi

Welcome, even if it's on a night such as this.

[CBHagman]

16. Hi, Pats.

I don't have MSNBC on (No cable anymore) but I'm here in KOEBer solidarity.

[Patsy Stone]

20. Right on!

Happy Friday (sort of). Currently on my TV: Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura. :)

[Patsy Stone]

15. How do you make a black arm band for a DU Group?

:)

[SharonRB]

19. Maybe I can whip one up

Over the weekend.

[Patsy Stone]

25. That would be funny.

:)

[JBoy]

23. It's Generic_MSNBC_News_Face Model Q17.

[SharonRB]

29. To add insult to injury...

O'Reilly is on Bill Maher tonight. Can't imagine what topic they'll discuss.

[Patsy Stone]

40. So? Did they say anything about KO? nt

[Graybeard]

43. Yes but very perfunctory.

Rachel says she will really discuss the matter on her show coming up.

[Patsy Stone]

44. Thanks!

:hi:
