Can anybody ...... anybody????? ...... tell me how ths person got her job?

[Stinky The Clown]

Boxes of rocks seem to display greater native intelligence. Her being a newsreader with latitude to make unscripted comments and interview sentient creatures is completely inexplicable to me. Can anybody help me out here?

[wtmusic]

1. Kinda obvious.

She has all that's required.

[ailsagirl]

2. Where are the pix??? Am I the only one who can't see them?

[Beaverhausen]

14. Do you see a red X too?

I am only seeing red Xs in a lot of posts today. Not sure what is going on.

[ColbertWatcher]

20. If you're on a restricted network (say, work) they may be blocking...

...pics from file sharing sites.

[wryter2000]

38. I see them, too

It's been driving me crazy all day. I'm glad it's not just me.

[Beaverhausen]

41. I used to always see pictures people posted. Did you?

Was something reset on this site or something?

[ailsagirl]

84. Absolutely-- sometimes I'd wish I couldn't :=)

[Stinky The Clown]

16. Dunno why you can't see it

But since you say you can't ...... its Contessa Brewer

[Beaverhausen]

34. I only see a red X in your sig too

This didn't used to happen to me here.

[Tesha]

32. Per a story over in LBN, hackers stole Photobucket's DNS records today.

So some of the time, you may have been trying to
load the image from the hacker's site rather than
Photobucket, and that probably didn't work. (And
may have carried some sort of nasty "payload" as
well.)

Tesha

[On the Road]

80. Ah, I Was Confused

The links to Photobucket on another site kept saying something like "This image contains an illegal code". Had never done that before.

[CoffeeCat]

3. I think we all know how the current....

...talk heads get their jobs. You don't have to be intelligent any more.

Look at that picture of her plunging neckline and tell me you don't know how she
got her job. Come on!

All you have to be is gorgeous with a hot body--and you're in.

[miles 2 go]

35. yes. It's not that easy to find a female republican

who doesn't look bad , has all of her teeth, and can read aloud. She fits the job description.

[Occulus]

57. But that begs the question, how did SHE get the job?

She looks a little bit like what happens when you take the mom in Family Circus, capture her with Silly Putty, and stretch it a bit.

:silly:

[Captain Hilts]

4. Being decorative is still a main criteria. And MSNBC is a crappy, sexist network...

so, she fits right in.

[Ian David]

10. Is this the moron who wanted to know how flushing a toilet can start a fire? n/t

[Captain Hilts]

13. I think in this case the term is 'moran'. I hadn't heard that story...nt

[Ian David]

5. If the camera were tilted down just a little lower, I may be able to tell you. n/t

[grasswire]

6. she looks a LITTLE bit like Norah O'Donnell

...obviously without those huge blue eyes and symmetrical face. But a little.

[medeak]

7. remember when Don Imus tortured her? n/t

[Ian David]

8. Same way Matt Lauer got his job. On their knees.

Some people say.

[medeak]

9. she's good at karoke? n/t

[Binka]

37. What The Hell Is Karoke?

Some special kinda hand job? LOL!:evilgrin:

[medeak]

81. had emergency dental appt early am

apologies...gorked out

[Binka]

91. It Was Funny. I Laughed!

[medeak]

96. wish I was laughing

$4700 dental bill later...

[Sonicmedusa]

11. Is this the same bimbo who asked how flushing toilets can cause fires?

She must give good head, cuz she sure don't have one.

[arcadian]

12. Who is that?

:shrug:

[napi21]

15. There are LOTS of "boxes of rocks" on cable during the morning and early afternoon.

It doesn't even matter what network you watch! I guess that's the time they break people in, test them to see if they're really any good.

There was one nitwit who had a reporter on live from Iowa...yesterday I think. He was talking about the problems that have been created for Iowans, and he mentioned that they are being told to conserve all water, even not to flush comodes because if there was a fire, there would be no water to fight it. The nitwit was "I don't understand? How does a fire start from flushing a comode?" You should have seen the look on the reporters face! Sad he had to explain that it wasn't the flushing that would start a fire, but IF there was a fire from anything, there would be no water to put it out!X!!!!

[libnnc]

17. I have been asking that same question

FOR MONTHS

She came from some station in Minnesota where she was the weekend anchor

AND NOW SHE'S ON MSNB-FREAKING-C.

It took Linda Ellerbee YEARS to make it to network news and these vapid creatures make the jump in a matter of months?

What the FUCK is going on?

[postulater]

18. Cleeeeeeeevage

[Vickers]

19. Two words:

Bew. Bees.

[Ian David]

21. If all it took was cleavage, Elvira would be The Most Trusted Name in Political Coverage.

[Vickers]

23. I'd trust *her* more than Dildo Reilly.

:spank:

[Ian David]

27. Me too, but they both have shows on Fox. n/t

[LiberalFighter]

24. We be better off with Elvira

[Ian David]

26. She sends a tingle up my leg. HA! n/t

[LiberalFighter]

63. I saw her the first time over 20 years ago. And my hormones were raging much more back then.

[galledgoblin]

75. ...my God, you're a GENIUS!

QUICK, WE NEED TO ACT ON THIS IDEA BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE GETS TO IT!

[cliffordu]

97. Isn't she???

[Fox Mulder]

22. I'm willing to bet it's because she's attractive.

[rucky]

25. The box of rocks had a prior commitment. n/t

[HughBeaumont]

28. CNBC isn't much better.

That station also has it's fair share of newstrollops (although to be fair, 1 or 2 of the trollops used to be in finance for a year or two). I suppose it's to counter all of the supply-sider Reaganites littering that channel.

[KoKo]

29. There are quite a few like her out there...over on CNN in the day, also. But,

agree...there's just something so clueless and juvenile about her. Like she took the pink pill instead of the blue one...or maybe she thinks she took the blue one...or was it a pink one..."oh, golly gee, she just can't remember...oh gosh...what was she thinking, maybe it was a red pill, duh oh!" :eyes:

Her exlamations of surprise at everything are very disconcerting to this viewer....

They all seemed to get their jobs on both cable at the same time. An invasion of the clueless? Just in time for the Primaries and now into the election cycle?

I can't imagine what kind of audience they are supposed to appeal to. After all, most of the Kids are in school all day and out for sports or other activities in the late afternoon. And, it can't be the "older crowd" that's supposed to be pushing the day ratings with this crew. What else can it be? :shrug:

[spanone]

30. you put the reason on the screen

[SlipperySlope]

31. Owned by Tommy Chong

I posted it below before seeing your link. Here's another winner

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rk9XWcSMss

[Stinky The Clown]

53. Hahahahahaha HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA hahahahahaha

vain twit

[truebrit71]

98. Oh that's just too brilliant!!!

...I LOVE the way she goes from lipstick application to "focused head nodding" as the report continues...

[dkofos]

33. She goes down on all the right people.

[orleans]

36. she has made some real shit eating comments and tossed out her

dirty little personal opinions several times that had me screaming at the tv.

she's a fucking bitch.

[Stinky The Clown]

43. I see her more as a "Heather" than a true bitch.

[Mountainman]

52. My wife's name is Heather. What is a Heather to you?

Heather is something less than a bitch?

[Stinky The Clown]

54. Ease up

[Mountainman]

56. That's an answer? Ease up! I think you need to apologize to Heathers

Ease up my ass!

You make an asinine statement like that and I should ease up?

Wise up!

[Stinky The Clown]

65. Actually, yeah

It may not be the answer you want, but it is an answer

I'll bet most everyone knows what it means .... including you.

[Mountainman]

68. Sorry, I don't know what it means. I never heard anyone use that name in any other way

than by using it as a name. Let's put each other on ignore and we don't have to deal with each other/

[Stinky The Clown]

72. I don't use ignore

But you're most welcome to use it.

[Phillycat]

102. It's a movie. Called Heathers.

About snotty high school girls.

[orleans]

95. you're right. she's got that underhandedness about her. n/t

[malaise]

39. Have a good laugh

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYZJVnFP2CY

[Stinky The Clown]

47. I saw that when it happened. Its still a classic.

She got pwned!

[malaise]

55. A classic cable moment - I won't forget it

Don't forget her lipstick moment

[truebrit71]

51. That was fantastic!

...what an idiot she is...

[malaise]

79. Check the lipstick mishap at #44

:rofl:

[devilgrrl]

94. That's the first and last time I will ever see that woman.

I've heard of her, now I'm sorry that I have a face that goes with the name.

:puke:

[MiniMe]

40. Does she have a shirt on under that jacket?

And you wonder how she got the job.

[lame54]

42. Here's your answer...

[krispos42]

46. (sigh)

:-)



Set cleavage on "stun".

[Stinky The Clown]

48. No silicone in them. Nope. None at all.

[deaniac21]

64. Saline...

[SoCalDem]

45. When your parents name you CONTESSA..you grow up expecting

to be treated royally:)

US "news" must be read from a teleprompter by "cute, perky young people"..

Intellect and common sense are not part of the job description.. Eye candy is what they look for..

[TahitiNut]

77. Just DON'T, whatever you do, misspell her name! Don't. You'll be sooorrry!

:dunce:

[Mountainman]

49. People can identify with her. The news has been so dumbed down that people have left

critical thinking in the shit can. Now if you put on an intelligent (called elitist) person on no one but a few would watch it.

This person can fit right with reality tv.

[librechik]

50. Good Christian School, Lowcut strapless top

apparently

[texasleo]

58. She's ridiculously hot.

[SidDithers]

59. I'll take "Plunging Neckline" for $600, Alex...nt

Sid

[mitchum]

60. What the fuck is she wearing? It looks like a Members Only jacket with nothing underneath

[texasleo]

61. "A poll of Iowa Democrats shows Obama and Clinton in a sta-testicle dead heat"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[XOKCowboy]

62. Here's a real babe....

Brains, beauty and a real journalist.

Lara Logan Rocks! :headbang:

[Eurobabe]

66. she blew somebody very high up. n/t

[tom_paine]

67. She's "TV-level attractive" and has no major blemishes.

I mean, is there ANY OTHER standard to be a "newsreader" or "propaganda regurgitator" these days?

She's hot with a dusky "newsie" voice... end of story, give her the job.

Oh how our nation has fallen.

[devilgrrl]

69. She got her job simply for being FUCKABLE!

What other qualification is required?

[ourbluenation]

101. shame on you. n/t

[elehhhhna]

70. She shows her cleavage during the day.

[LostInAnomie]

71. Because I would gladly have sex with her.

Right there on the anchor desk... on camera if I had to. I am not joking!

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

73. Couldn't agree with you more

She is almost as dumb as Dumbya, poor thing.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

74. Eye Candy.

That can say big words. Og impressed. Will paint cave wall rendering of it later.

Look at that willya. She DOES have eyes...

:smoke:

[ailsagirl]

86. Hey Salmon-- how goes it????

I'm back!!

ailsa

[SalmonChantedEvening]

87. Where have you been young lady?

We've gone through a dozen porch lights waiting.

How's you ailsagirl?? :hug: :loveya:

[ailsagirl]

88. Was up in Canada for awhile... then came back.

I love the Canadians-- they know the political score for
sure and they're smart as hell. You can't hoodwink them.
But I missed the USA.

How are you? Still do the Malloy link every night?

(I'm so out of touch...)

ailsa

[SalmonChantedEvening]

89. I do my best to truthseek as often as I can.

In other words, when I haven't nodded off in the recliner after work :rofl:

It's starts at 9:06 EST ;)

[ailsagirl]

105. I hear you!! Thanks for the info

I realized that when I was in BC that I wasn't
really "safe"-- that, ultimately, whatever the
US decides to do, it will affect all nations.

So I came back.

I'm just walking on eggshells until the November
election (it had better be Obama) and the
inauguration. Even so... I have my concerns
(that are better left unsaid at this time)

Have a great day!!

a.

[TahitiNut]

76. Just DON'T, whatever you do, misspell her name! Don't. You'll be sooorrry!

:dunce:

[asdjrocky]

78. Yeah, hate her.

[27inCali]

82. she has no gag reflex

I was trying to figure out how to say that in the least explicit way....

[anitar1]

83. Who is she ???n/t

[ailsagirl]

85. Ahhhh... now I can see her. Guess whatever was interfering

before is no longer.

What was the original question? How she got her job?
Who the hell is she?

[tabasco]

90. Cuz shes got a purty mouf.

I laks to have purty moufs tell me whats to thinks.

[Swamp Rat]

92. Obey the images on your Boob Box.

[L0oniX]

93. She obviously did the producer

:sarcasm:

[undeterred]

99. She's one of the new synthetic talking heads

model #A35843 I believe.

[ourbluenation]

104. new? she's been there since 2003. n/t

[ourbluenation]

100. I cannot believe the sexist bs I'm reading here on DU. She graduated magna cum laude from Syracuse..

and has an extensive work history. but never mind that - there were at least 5 posts on here saying she had to blow someone to get where she has. nice.

[ldr65]

103. I'd hit it.

I'd hit it like a retard on a drum.

[ProfessorGAC]

106. She Looks Good On TV???

That was pretty much my only thought.
The Professor

[LibDemAlways]

107. The pitiful part is that there are thousands of

kids majoring in journalism who would do a good job on tv if somebody would give them a chance. But because they aren't Hollywood gorgeous and well-connected, they will end up selling ad space for the local throwaway.

The vast majority of these interchangable bobble-heads are dumber than dirt and wouldn't know a real news story if it bit them in the ass.
