The natural conclusion to MSNBC’s long effort to win the Pulitzer in Applied Stupidity was reached today when the cable-talk station hired vapid airhead Meghan McCain as some type of on-air personality. “We were looking for someone who literally knows nothing about anything, MSNBC vice president of programming Koko the Klown said in pantomime, while sitting in a puddle of somebody else’s urine. Meghan McCain was created by scientists in a laboratory to prove a “reverse dark matter” theorem that something can be so shallow and idiotic that it would be equally despised and laughed at by people of any possible political persuasion.

MSNBC: Home of the 1%ers.
Now home of the 44s.
and the double d's.
Jon Stewart has competition from another pair-of-Ds news show?
Bring back J. Fred Muggs.
But pair him with M. Mc Juggs.
And Dave Garroway, too.
And Cinemax hires her boobs.
I'd hit it.
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's the opposite of atoning for a sin. After they hired Rachel Maddow in 2008, they've had to perform acts of stupid ever since.
If only they had hired Thom Hartmann too. He's way smarter and less shouty than Ed Schultz.
Now THAT i would applaud…………
I think Ed's much better on the TV machine than he is on the radio machine. If he has a script like on TV, he's okay, but he gets these right wingers calling into his radio show and they walk all over him or he gets flustered and starts yelling, His heart is in the right place, but I don't think he's very quick or smart.
Are we gonna get some Megs on Rachel action? Cuz if so, I am totally paying my cable bill this month!
All stories will be sourced to the Tribune Newspaper Group.
I have a soft spot for Megs, leave her alone, I think Rachel Maddow likes her as well.
I have a hard spot for Meghan (if you know what I mean).
SS:
Too subtle.
You must've avoided reading the dreck she spills for Beast, then. It is awful.
I can manage with the sound turned down, as I was at the gym last night, observing her appearance on whichever show it was. Heaven help her when she has to scrape off all that eye makeup at night.
Otherwise… you were saying?
The make-up is a wee bit heavy, but I find her strangely appealing, I bet she is quite a kind human being.
Ken Layne used to chastise us for ragging on her. I guess she's done OK considering her father.
That may be so, but can't she just cut a check to the Humane Society and spare us her desire to hold a steady job like one of the common people?
JarvisCocktober is Cocktober I can believe in.
"I find her strangely appealing"
It's called boobs.
I've got a pair of my own and they are about the same size, so it's not that.
2L:
She racks up points for appearing on tv without pretending to run for office.
Rack. heh, heh.
Heh.
Thank you. Try the sea bass.
Anybody here from Connecticut?
I'll be here all week. Tip your server…
I'm with you, LL. I have a spot for Meghan that is soft-ish, too. My wife lusts after her and wants to see more girl-on-girl action between MM and Rachel. Wait, what?
Me too, I find the two of them very sexy when they flirt.
And I bet that sets John McCain's career spinning in its grave.
If only. If 40 years of being a really shitty member of congress, who in the last 10 has taken complete leave of reality won't do it, than having his empty-headed, rubenesque daughter repeating word fragments she previously only sang to her cat probably won't.
I actually bought – and read – "Dirty, Sexy Politics" and found her to be completely charming and self-effacing. Maybe it's projection: she feels awkward, chunky, and too big for her surroundings. Just like me! She just needs to give up on this whole "I'm a young Republican!" bit. And stay off TV.
"I think Rachel Maddow likes parts of her as well."
/fixed
Seriously, though, you already know I agree.
They should have gone with Coupon Suzy, I'm sure she is just as smart and insightful.
You love that woman!
I have tried, but I just can't find any reason for her existence in public.
Nah, I don't mind her either; she's clearly one of them culture war eschewing "librul New York-style Republicans" that I've known a few of, growing up. She was definitely born into a family that is fantastically wealthy and powerful enough that she may well be a Republican simply because it actually is in her economic self-interest, and not because of racism and culture war. Can't really knock her for that.
Plus, her boobs really are fantastic.
That being said, while I can admire her integrity, I do honestly find her writing and opining to be rather vapid, uninformative, and frequently just poorly written. I respect the extent to which her heart is in someplace approximating the right place, but at the same time, she's hardly good at opinion journalism, which in turn highlights the role that nepotism has played in getting her a job doing that anyway.
Hey now, some of our best opinion writers today have gotten their jobs based purely on nepotism. Just look at Jonah Goldberg.
Seriously, look at him. How has he not gone the way of Mama Cass yet?
Multiple responses:
1) Do I have to? I'd really rather not.
b) We seem to have divergent definitions of "best". Although I guess it's true that the archetypal opinion writer is kind of monstrous, so maybe being the best at being a categorical opinion writer is simply distinct from being the best at writing opinions on topical issues of the day?
III) [please write your own Jonah Goldberg/boob comment here].
He doesn't like ham sandwiches?
I agree with every word you said.
Given that she's writing for Tina Brown's Daily Beast, I don't mind her, because no on reads them, anyway.
I find Luke Russert many times more annoying, and he's supposed to be on our side, I think.
Dirty Sexy Stupid
"About fucking time you got a job, Megs!"
– Dad
Babbling on MSNBC does *not* count as a *job*.
Is she doing the news on a trampoline? I might watch that for a few minutes.
I'd settle for on sight reporting during tropical rain storms.
Still, she has to be better than any of the lock step conservative bimbos they find to put on Hannity or O'Reilly to agree with everything those idiots say.
You could put a "1" in front of the intelligence quotients of any Faux blondie and Megs would still have a higher one.
There must be at least two good reasons for these stunning developments.
The good news is that Ed Schultz no longer has the biggest boobs on MSNBC.
The bad news is that Ed Schultz is still the biggest boob on MSNBC.
But aren't Newt's bigger than Meg's? Show & tell to find out??
I'll take "who is Chris Christie?" for $500 and the win, Alex.
Ed just got promoted to the 8/7 central time slot. They must think he is somehow capturing the #OWS zeitgeist. There is something annoying about him, but I can't point out anything in particular I've seen him do that is offensive. Although he comes across like an actor sometimes.
Ed was a conservative for most of his life, and then had a "conversion" when he realized there was an opening on the left-wing for a professional bloviator.
Is he also gay or a reformed beard, like David Brock & Arianna, respectively?
He's married to a woman.
Is he still whining about the fact that Blanche Lincoln didn't lose her Senate primary challenge?
somebody else’s urine
Someone forgot to get more Depends for Walnuts…
Well she definitely has the Lean Forward down pat.
Won't she fall over unless she leans back?
I volunteer to be 'pat'.
'pat' might be a verb in that sentence.
Ah crap.
We voted for Obama to bring us "Hope". This is probably the closest we'll come to having Hope any time past 2008. This is how it works…
Gives new meaning to the words "hope chest".
Excuse me while I drive Western Civilization to the nearest battered women's shelter. I dont know if she had it coming, but she sure got it.
Rev Al is boobing as hard as he can.
& I'm sure Tweety has some nice Moobs, too. & since he's in his sixties, there's the effect of gravity to consider.
… Saggy Moobs…
At least they didn't hire Bristol. . .
Actually, they did, but she left half-way through the HR interview.
And if they had, they would have had to hire a shorter cameraperson for us to see her pair of giant ones.
Yep, MSNBC, the cable leader in liberalism and boobs. Meghan will fit right in on at least two of those.
M-squared. I can't wait to see them get more air time.
Joe Scarborough is going to be PISSED
Now that's what I call a positive!
But if the MM hiring causes Mika to wear tighter, lower cut sweaters I might watch Mourning Joe.
I just hope & pray every day that Joe doesn't kill Mika, as well.
No worries. There are so many witnesses — er — contributors/guests/co-hosts around the table that it'd make it extremely difficult.
MSNBC: Come for the news, stay for the boobies.
So, no show of her own mentioned, I guess she's gonna be "floater" like Pat Buchanan?
I can't wait till she makes her first appearance on Rachel's show.
Floaters are the toughest turds to flush.
Needs moar fiber…
She's been on TRMS at least twice.
Yes, but no human ever manifested the term "floater" better than Pitchfork Pat. I still can't figure out why they keep him around, unless it's for comic relief.
Maybe they'll revive an old NBC tradition, and have her dress up in a bikini with topical paint tattoos like peace signs and # signs and such and dance for 30 seconds before they go to commercial. Goldie Hawn/Rowan and Martin FTW!
You bet your sweet bippy!
"In news of the future, today, President Ronald Reagan …."
Now that might actually be worth watching.
Interesting…but schtupid
But where would we stick the Fickle Finger Of Fate?
"Here come the jugs."
Sock it to me?
Nixon ftw
I'm liking MSNBC less and less. the only way for them to redeem themselves in my eyes is to hire me for a season or two at the same salary they give her; this would make my continued existence entirely possible.
The Last Word with Tits Occupado at 10, followed by Up w/ Meg McCabe at 11.
I'd watch that.
Motherfucking please let her replace that cretin Luke Russert.
I've said it before, I'll say it again.
Tits or GTFO.
Megs seems more sincere than Keef and Mika put together.
Meghan's Stupid Nattering & Boobs Channel
I look forward to her spirited defenses of Herman Cain, Rick Perry and Mitt Romney, after which she gets to lord over us how she's a REAL feminist.
This is good news for John McCain.
If she does the show topless I may watch.
I am looking forward to her fresh big boobied perspective.
If only she were Pat Buchanan's replacement.
There's a "fire Pat" petition circulating now.
I'd tune in to see her jump a shark.
'climax' and 'Meghan McCain' in one sentence ..hmmmm
I know, I got excited too.
I'm glad no one reminded her that she is, in fact, one of the 1%. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/meghan-mccain...
I'd hit that.
Sometimes the simplest posts are the most insightful.
If I watched TV, I believe this would make me groan.
Hopefully, in the good and satisfied way.
People! Leave Meghan alone!
I take it as a sign that MSNBC is preparing for 3D broadcast technology.
Meghan is just an early beta test, since she's so one-dimensional…
At least double-D broadcast technology.
What I want to know is what the hell was MSNBC doing in Climax, PA?
You've got to go through Blue Ball, and Intercourse, to get to Climax.
So she'll be some roving contributor, sitting her fat ass in whatever chair will be open for her?
Or is she lap-dancing on one program only?
Enquiring minds want to know!
More proof that we are a meritocracy. Take that, filthy OWS hippies!
I would like to hire Megan McCain and reach climax, too.
You can seduce her with such choice lines as "Baby, be my Ashley Alexandra Dupre".
They should give her a brunette wig and put her on Herman Cain's campaign bus as an undercover reporter.
Now MSNBC is just trolling Wonkette.
I want to storm her Winter Palace with my Communist Vanguard.
Hey Wonkett, seems everything is funny to you.
Finally. Now I have a reason to masturbate while watching MSNBC that I haven't had since Rita Cosby left.
Tamron Hall would work for me, but I don't watch daytime TeeVee.
Is that you, Bill Clinton?
She's basically really fucking stupid, basically.
This choice is very disturbing. I wish they had chosen someone else. I realize it's a shameful part of American history that we should never forget, but it's too much.
Now you know that comment is just begging for the "pics or GTFO" reply…
2L:
"And this positively infantile preoccupation with bosoms. In all my time in this wretched Godforsaken country, the one thing that has appalled me most of all is this prepostrous preoccupation with bosoms. Don't you realize they have become the dominant theme in American culture: in literature, advertising and all fields of entertainment and everything. I'll wager you anything you like that if American women stopped wearing brassieres, your whole national economy would collapse overnight."
- J. Algernon Hawthorne
He's gay.
Thank you, Bristol!
2L:
English, actually. But isn't that about the same thing?
(Terry Thomas: "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." Classic on so many levels!)
