1. Rita Cosby is the latest fuckwad weenie bitch.

Reporting from Aruba for two days. BITCH.

2. The article takes her and MSNBC to task for that. eom

3. why did they have to send that c*** to Houston?

I don't want her here. The evacuees we'll make space for, somehow, and we've been running around collecting canned goods, diapers, toiletries, you name it, to donate for them, but we do not need that fucking parasite harpy feeding off of someone else's misery. At least send someone who actually gives a crap about those people and their suffering. The camera guy from MSNBC yesterday would do a better job than Rita.


on edit: on the lighter side, last night I was explaining to Her Royal Highness that we'll be donating her old toys and clothes to the refugees and trying to make her understand that those people have lost everything. She thought about this for a minute and then said, "but not my Sit and Spin, mommy?" with a trace of anxiety. I reassured her that I was talking about her "baby" toys and she went on to clarify that "babies don't play with Polly Pocket". :7

4. I'll say it: CUNT.

There. I feel better. I am cursing a lot lately. I find it's a great coping skill.

5. I said a lot worse last night when I had on channel 2

(the local NBC affiliate) about 11pm and learned they were temporarily denying entry to buses that had just arrived. :grr:

12. gk, I pity you guys for having to have her around.

She strikes me as not giving a good damn about these people, except as a group of victims whose heartbreak and misfortune she can exploit for ratings purposes.

[gkhouston]

13. remember the song "Dirty Laundry"

and the line about the bubble-headed bleach blonde who can tell you about you someone else's misfortune with a gleam in her eye? That's Rita, to a T.

14. Oh, you are SO right.

I just heard that song again the other day, and was thinking about how one of the reasons I love Keith's work so much is that he is NOT like the news people described in the story. And plenty of them are still around...and Don Henley wrote that song in, what, 1982????

"We can do the innuendo, we can dance and sing
And when it's said and done, we haven't shown you a thing
We all know that CRAP IS KING..."
