William F. Buckley He Certainly Is Not
The Huffington Post reports that “Keith Olbermann debuted a new and recurring segment on his show tonight called “Countdown’s WTF Moment.”
If you are unfamiliar with the acronym WTF, it’s typically only used by people such as  Janeane Garofalo, Rahm Emanuel, Blago, Al Franken and sailors. (Sorry to throw you into *that* mix, sailors.) It stands for “what the …,” no, if your innocent ears and eyes have made it this far in life without being sullied, we’re not going to besmirch them.
It’s not a phrase or an acronym that any articulate person needs. Intelligent minds could go an entire lifetime without ever saying it or even thinking it.
What is it with MSNBC? With all their teabagging and pimping and wtf-ing, they’ve become incapable of discussing the news in ways that you don’t have to send children from the room.
[Question to the FCC: Can cable air MA (mature audiences only) programming during primetime?]
Even during their daytime supposed objective-news-only, they’ve got their anchors throwing hissy fits and being disgusting. Take, for example, another little scene approvingly reported by the Huffington Post, titled “MSNBC Anchors Erupt Over Miss California Press Conference: “Can I Vomit Right Now?” The triad erupting were Contessa Brewer, David Shuster and Tamron Hall. The effluent drama queen squawking about regurgitation wasn’t Contessa or Tamron.
The whole network needs a good scrubbing down with stiff brushes and lye soap. But with the anchors’ minds remaining in the toliet, it would be better to flush them all down the drain and start fresh with some lefties that can have a stimulatingly learned discussion of the news and policy and be repulsed by the idea of wallowing in the gutter for entertainment.
P.S. The page on which HuffPo has their publicity piece about Olberman’s new segment also had an ad for an article in The Nation, which says Olberman is Ed Murrow reincarnated. It’s hard to say whether that is a smear on Murrow’s legacy or the truth. Could be both.
