Maddow Mocks Republican's Geography Mistake—But Recently Made One of Her Own
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/25/2014 4:39:10 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Let she who is without geography sin cast the first globe! On her MSNBC show last night, Rachel Maddow mercilessly mocked Darrell Issa for confusing Guinea with Guyana. The Republican congressman made his mistake during a discussion of the country in which the latest Ebola outbreak began. Issa said it was "Guyana," a South American country, whereas in fact it was Guinea, a West African one.

Fair enough. Issa should have gotten his countries straight. But of all the hosts in the MSNBC lineup, Rachel Maddow should have been the last to have the chutzpah to highlight Issa's blooper. For you see, just last month, Maddow made a big geography blooper of her own. During a discussion of President Obama's then-impending trip to Estonia, a Baltic country, Maddow went on—repeatedly and at length—about the last time a president had visited . . . the Balkans.

People like Maddow usually die lonely and bitter.

Madcow doesn’t even know which sex organs go together, so she ain’t exactly a geography expert.

Well Rachel, that is just egregious! It’s unprecedented!

I guess it makes no nevermind that MSM had to change the pronunciation of NIGER the country from what we used to hear in the news to Nye-szhjeeeeeere (my phonetics for saying anything but the “hard G” sound or ending it with “er” sound) so that all you dumb news reader chicks wouldn’t screw up and say the N word. BwaHahahahahahahaa

She sorta reminds me of a venomous Ellen Degenerate. She’s probably got some toy who’s into whatever money she does have. But when the money is gone and she’s in her 50s, there won’t be anyone is my guess.

In a legitimate society, Madcow would be mocked as a bull-dagger.

Sheeeyit. That's nothing. A few years ago, Preezy Borat Obola was holding a planted-question conference during some useless economic summit in Hawaii when he referred to Hawaii as being in Asia.

Al Sharpton’s still looking for the state of Ottawa ....

Speaking of the good right Rev Al, I actually watched his show last night for the very first time...(bored with watching Fox)

First of all he looks like an AIDS patient...

MSNBC must have spent of all a $100 on his set...

Format of the show sucks...

To his credit he managed to do some straight up news reporting without a bunch of PC, racist, identity or gender based commentary...

I can see why more people live in my town than watch his show in the entire nation....
