He was really good. sigh

She says the stupid shit she says in order get people to talk about her.

As we used to say here, "Let it drop". She's been given two weeks free PR because Bashir decided to point out her stupidity.

Let her drop and she'll go away. She's saying more outlandish stuff as a desperate plea for attention. Ignore the toddler and the tantrums will stop sooner than later.

Her fifteen minutes are running out. Rapidly.

Sometimes, though, we can't resist. It's like a cat batting a bug, really.

The folks who idolize her have a one tract mind especially, the media folks who truly savor her belches. I feel bad the idiots that call themselves Repug conservatives but the media is different. they have enough brains to know what they are doing.

Most narrow-minded people have one-track minds, but Palin fans are rabid fundies who love them some Chick and Van Impe.

She says stupid shit because she is a stupid shit.

I don't watch Bashir generally, and I know he can be a little harsh, albeit usually in a clever way.

But this comment -- which I thought was forgotten a month ago -- didn't seem that outrageous to me. I thought he couched it in a way that only tangentially suggested the "shocking" thing. And he tied it to Palin's own idiotic comments pretty clearly. Not nearly as blatant as Ed's "conservative slut" comment, for example.

Wonder if there's some power struggle going on at MSNBC lying beneath.

He was just trying to be helpful.

They brought Ed back so why not Martin.

WE CAN DO THIS - ask Phil to keep Martin Bashir, he's an important progressive voice

in keeping the stupid one in the public forum and letting the obviously intelligent one go home.

was that there is already so much fecal matter being spewed from Palin's mouth, that adding more seemed redundant. The worst thing you can do to that narcissistic half-wit is not insult her, but ignore her. Bashir will be missed, I hope MSNBC brings him back.

Not being a consumer of MSNBC or other streaming content providers I couldn't relate to this until I watched Bashir's segment.

Perhaps that segment was typical of his on-air persona but I felt it was crude and not very effective. I have negative feelings about that Palin-witch but why bother expending on-air minutes and personal life-time minutes to giving a sh*t?

After only one viewing of Bashir, I don't think I'd bother looking again.

cares about Sarah Palin?

All of her power comes from the left. She some how has figured out how to crawl up the ass of the left and stir shit just to get attention for herself. If she were ignored, she'd go away.

What he said was quite appropriate as a reaction. His mistake was to react in the first place instead of ignoring her. Of course she is fodder for media mediocrity, but those who rise higher have enough brain to either do humor or present something that really matters.

Advice to the next Martin: Once Palin is only mentioned on comedy channels, the world will be in proper alignment.

Bashir worked with MSNBC Lady Blah Blah is a shill for FOX "news".

One is trying to be a legitimate news organization with on-air personalities you can trust. the other intends to be a propaganda network favoring the interests of corporate America through hatred, bigotry and fear-mongering.

I forgot to add: she is following a script. so is Rush, so is Orally slant-head...they are paid to say outrageous things. Goobers sit at home with a zombie-stare at their TVs nodding their heads, slobbering on their t-shirts as they agree with these hateful tools who are paid to say what they say.

She does like to use the phrase "Don't retreat, reload!"

It just never crossed my mind to defecate in anyones mouth. America, educated by a Brit.

Palin doesn't understand the big picture when you toss out buzz words like slavery, Hitler, death panels and the like.

These are more than words and she should either STFU or get educated by Martin Bashir as to the real meaning of what she is spewing.

Who was wronged here? The teacher or the fool?

Nor would I piss on her if she was on fire.


Bring marshmallows, maybe.


But not piss on her.

MSNBC's lack of integrity and ethics just got more repulsive. Their strict adherence to the views of their corporate masters will continue to steer them toward boredom and RW conformity. Pretty soon you won't be able to tell the difference between Fox, CNN and MSNBC. I recommend Al Jazeera and Free Speech TV as alternatives. The MSNBC habit of castrating and neutering their on-air personalities does not bode well for either of them.

Shame on you MSNBC!!!

Why did Keith Olbermann leave MSNBC?

Why did Cenk and the Young Turks leave?

Perhaps it is useful to remember who OWNS it. my 2 cents

It didn't save Bashir's job, did it?

And Sarah Palin does need to eat shit and die!
