Oh Great - MSRNC Is Giving a Show to Effing A-hole Bo DIETL
Edited on Mon Apr-04-05 07:57 AM by UTUSN
co-hosting with Lisa DANIELS, to be called "DIETL and DANIELS". According to him (on the Don ANUS circus), Rick KAPLAN ------went to him and offered him a show. As if his embarrassment as a human being displayed is not enough, and exposed on a Daily Show segment. They've tried Michael WEINER-"Savage" before. It appears that they wanted to go in the WEINER direction, only ashcanned him for screwing up on the air, NOT because he was an idiot and a Nazi. So now this.
They might as well put the GOTTI brats on the air with a talk show.


(Yeah-yeah, cancel cable.)

3. Congress must breakup the media monopoly
We must reverse Reagan's deregulation of the 1980s and prevent defense contractors and big companies from owning 80 percent of media!

13. It Would Effect Cable Or Satellite
The content and ownership of those channels are different than the ones that come over the air to your radio and television.

What I think you're refering is to the re-institution of some of the "deregulation" of the Raygun era (anti-trafficking rules), but the large chunk comes from the '96 Telcom Bill passed under, and blessed, by Clinton...that allowed corporations like Clear Channel and others buy up thousands of local stations and give outlets to most of the hate radio stations that pollute the body politic.

The cable game is to piss you off and make you watch...mad, angry people mean ratings and revenues...and the right wing knows and has used it to great effect.

7. Harold Ford actually told him on the air that his colleagues
...in Congress referred to him as ANUS IN THE MORNING. His childish crew laughed themselves sick. The anus was somewhat discombobulated at the relevation.

18. *SNORT*
This is especially funny to me because Harold is so prim and proper most of the time on television.
True, he's very irreverent in person, but, in public, he tends to act very modest and all "politiciany."
To know that he told Don Anus this TO HIS FACE and ON THE AIR is hilarious to me!!

:rofl:

39. He phrased it rather sweetly, I must say
...they had to drag it out of him, which made it all the funnier! He at first tried to not say the word Anus, substituting "something else" and then, when pressed, he came out with it, saying the word softly (and of course, one of the factotums demanded he say it again). And of course, the lackeys went wild, chuckling for the better part of the program.

This happened a year or two ago, maybe longer--but it was good radio!

6. Ha!!!!
I thought of that Savage nitwit too...he lasted, what, five minutes? There's gotta be some payola going on with that Bo-shit.

They oughta give David Gregory a show. He hosted HARDBALL for a couple of nights and KICKED ASS. Asked REAL questions, didn't let people dodge, LET THEM FINISH unless they were trying to bullshit him, then he cut 'em off and said "You aren't answering my question."

Totally tough, totally composed. It's like he's the last damn journalist in America....and he speaks FRENCH, too!!!!

14. Don't Know, Have Never Seen Her - Here's Her Bio
The DIETL stooge said that he's got an inferiority thing because she went to Harvard Law and he never graduated high school and that in their try-outs she kept restraining him with her hand, that she better cut it out.

When she was in Florida for the Terri Schiavo debacle she was practically unglued the day she died.

10. My E-mail to: viewerservices@msnbc.com
viewerservices@msnbc.com <viewerservices@msnbc.com>

I have struggled to be a fan of MSNBC since its beginnings. I remember the promise the network had in the pre-9/11 days--the daytime line-up of the three-females with a sharp, smart edge. But things went oddly awry with the hiring of blowhards SCARBOROUGH and Michael SAVAGE and the firing of your highest rated DONAHUE.

Ever willing to be hopeful, I chose to interpret the firing of SAVAGE as a return to rationality. Now that small hope is dashed with the news that Bo DIETL will be added to your line-up. He said that Rick KAPLAN himself WENT TO HIM and OFFERRED him a show. Apparently the thinking is that the obnoxiousness of Don IMUS is what sells.

What it shows is that your network didn't really see anything wrong with SAVAGE. You only fired him because of his on-air fracas, not because of his overall direction.

So the formula is: Pair an ignorant loudmouth with a Harvard Law graduate because their surnames both start with the same letter, eh? That's the ticket.

I hesitate to add a positive comment because it might result in the opposite effect: You will probably fire him. But Keith OLBERMANN demonstrates the potential your network could achieve if only reason prevailed.

I think MSNBC is trying real real hard to become Fox news.
Bo is on Faux all the time. He is a pompous piece of sh*t

Question. With F*cker Carlson coming & Bo Dietl coming- where does that leave Olbermann?

33. Bo Fucking Dietl: Neanderthal in a Mafia Don suit


What a gem .... he's an ex NYC cop who dresses like a cheap fucking wise guy. Here's his bio, from his security firm's web site:

http://www.beaudietl.com/bd_aboutbo.htm

This guy reminds of Bernie Kerik, but with a soft, feminine side (not). Note the resemblance:



Both have their strongest resemblance in their educational bio ...... neither has a degree and Dietl, the bigger loser, didn't even gradjeeate from highe skool.

The value of this guy's view would be ...... what? :shrug:

37. Ohhh, You Mentioned KERIK---You Know What THAT Means--Judith REGAN!
A couple of her men: http://newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news/media/columns/medialife/152/

*********QUOTE********

.... Then Judith and Rupert found each other -- and ReganBooks was born. Not only did their commercial instincts mesh, but Judy's what's-the-world-ever-done-for-me politics were highly compatible with the Murdoch view.

And then the sex part. It's a one-woman show.

I have never heard anyone talk about sex the way Judy does. I have never heard anyone talk about their sexual partners the way Judy does. I have never heard anyone analyze individual motivations, the workings of the marketplace, and politics, too, in such precisely sexual terms. The other day, on her show, she kept interrupting her tempered guests on the subject of why women like Bill Clinton, and, voice rising, saying: "They want to have sex with him -- that's why they like him!"

Early in her career at Simon & Schuster, she published a book called The Rogue Warrior and fought tooth and nail for a full-face cover photo of the author. "Don't they understand?" she stormed to me. "Women will buy this because they want to fuck him!" She got the full face and a best-seller.

http://www.zianet.com/insightanalytical/newlow.htm

Regan looked straight into the camera and for almost 10 minutes, delivered a pseudo stream-of-consciousness poetry riff mocking Clinton. Referring to his sad boyhood, she mocked his loneliness, then proclaimed that he built himself up and called himself KING, because "I am rich and I can do what I want!" She likened him to the cast out Socks, and envisioned him an old man meeting up with Socks at 125th street, both holding tin cups. ....

It was incredibly vicious. What was especially appalling was how she took the most painful aspects of Bill's background--his truly grievous childhood--and twisted them, using them to mock him. If this wasn't the "politics of personal destruction" I don't know how else you could describe this horrific display. ....

36. Bo Deitl is such a thuggish moron
I remember watching him during the DC sniper shooting coverage 2 years ago- Dietl shouted over and over again that the person responsible for these murders was most definitely a kid who
is infatuated with violent video games. He blamed the entire thing on video games. I thought it was hilarious at the time. I didn't see too many interview with Dietl after the sniper was caught.

BTW, he's exactly like kerik.. 2 peas in a pod.
