Scarborough Shares The Coveted Media OHS Award With Hannity
Sean Hannity and Joe Scarborough will share the 2008 OHS award for misdirecting viewers concerning the housing crisis. This year’s nomination process has been turbulent do to the large number of commentators and radio hosts who would like to lay claim to the award. Many others, such as Brit Hume and Glen Beck are publicly voicing their displeasure at being overlooked.

“This time the Over Here Stupid comes with a FO cluster,” whined Glen Beck. “That hasn’t happened since the Monica BJ of the ‘90’s. Because most stories we do misdirect people off of what’s important, the OHS is not that significant. But with a False Outrage cluster – well, that’s really something. And I blamed minorities and the CRA before Joe did… It’s just not right.”

The 2008 OHS with the FO cluster is being awarded for the outstanding work done by certain people in the media, which not only took the heat off of the perpetrators of the crime, but also managed outrage at the victims.

“It kind of worked out beautifully,” mumbled Brit Hume. “We had to take the heat off Bush and the deregulators, so, we pointed to an old favorite, minorities. And naturally, if they caused this, we would be mad at them. So, it just all fell into place. But I have to say, I did as much for this story as Joe, also.”

Amd Beck *would* whine considering his terrible ratings.

PS---Has he started his new show on Fox yet?

5. And thanks to Ihavenobias for giving me the idea. (In my last post.)
The media as a whole pisses me off. (For the people watching the show Mosiac two weeks ago, there was no surprise regarding Gaza. But no mention in our media about troop movement.)

6. lol
You mean you were actually able to translate Mumbly? How is it that humanity has allowed Brit Hume to continue to thrive on this planet? I mean I heard his home planet Zolthar in the Cat's Eye Nebula is finally recovering from that embarrassing little Xenon incident that was so well publicized in the 70's. Why doesn't someone just revoke his Visa once and for all and send him packin?

9. Hey, 20score!
Great post! Haven't seen you around for a while...Happy New Year to you and yours!

I don't see "Mornin' Joe" except when someone posts a link, but I do manage to catch at least 30 seconds of Hannity each night...he's such a dolt. Can't wait to see who replaces colmes. Who do you think will get the "job?"

As long as Obama continues to not recognize any Faux reporters at the pressers, I'm happy!

:toast:

11. Thanks Suich!
Happy New Year to you, too!

To replace Colmes? Don't know, but I'd like to see someone Thom Hartmann, but that won't happen.

(It's great that Faux is getting the treatment they so richly deserve.)

Thanks again, you rock!

13. I USED to watch Morning Joe when Mika had a spine - Now NEVER!
The damning talk that comes out of Joe Scarborough is disgusting and degrading! What a piece of work he is! I have emailed dozens of times when I was watching hoping that MSNBC would put someone else on the show but they don't care. Joe is their kind of man - Tom Brokaw I am sure is very proud of him!

Remember this F-U Bomb - I don't think Mr. Joe even got a slap on the wrist for this one!

15. For a very short time it looked like he was about to change. About the time he asked if Bush was too
stupid to be president. It's been all down hill since.
