Phil Donahue most likely to exit, stage left

Darn. And the major talk show hosts didn't ever use my nickname for him:

"Phil Donkey-doo."

>> What ever happened to the girl wearing glasses on MSNBC? <<

That IS Donahue.

???

It's slowly becoming uncool to be a leftist. That's what I've been waiting for!!

I noticed yesterday that Fox News has snagged another MSNBC reporter: Greg Jarrett.

Is that the boy-faced goon who likes to EMphasize CERtain SyLlables because he THINKS it makes him SOUND like a REAL reporter. What a smarmy, liberal goon! He'll have to back off his obvious hatred of Republicans on Fox, though. Geez, I'd rather literally see Dan Abrams on Fox before Jarrett. Ugh.

MSNBC must have figured out that half of Phil's audience was FReepers looking for entertainment, not news.

GLAAD AWARDS

Talk show pioneer Phil Donahue presents Cristina Saralegui with the Vangaard Award from GLAAD (The gay and lesbian Anti=Defamation Association),for her program about homosexual weddings.

So they fired the venerable Alan Keyes for this schmuck? And after three months he will be gone? How lame.

Bring back Keyes! To hell with the pro-Arab lobby.

Jerry Nachman seems to be the only relatively succesful new show on MSNBC.

Nachman will be running MSNBC by the end of the year, mark my words. Sorensen is despised by the rank-and-file and the whole Donahue-Ashleigh Banfield-"Fiercely Independent" disaster is entirely his doing.

Phil Donohue is so...so...what's the word I'm thinking of...aha - Phil is so 1980's!!!!!!

[stand watie]

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye...

Don't let the door hit ya, Phil, well, you know where...

[alnick]

That's who that is. I always thought that he sounded like a very rich person who should be named Biff.

The bizarre thing is that he was gung ho for Republicans. He interviewed two people, one Republican and David Korn. He jumped all over Korn about Daschle politicizing the war. He did try to go after the Republican also by asking if Daschle might have been right since Time Magazine said that Al Qaeda is training in Afghanistan again, but he did that half heartedly and then he went back to attacking Daschle.

[1Old Pro]

Haven't watched SNL in years but mocking Donawho's failure sounds like it had good potential.

[Marysecretary]

Me either. I never liked him and I never will.

[Fintan]

If Donahue gets the ax, it'll be the strongest indication yet that star power alone doesn't make you a hit on cable...

Of course, they won't mention the obvious: Perhaps it's the strongest indication that the vast majority of the country really isn't interested in listening to a sniveling, self-serving, self-aggrandizing, simpering, sniveling, drooling, wide-eyed, raving leftist lunatic rant and rave about what the little voices in his head tell him.

[republicanwizard]

Ditto!

[ConservativeConvert]

Their first mistake was buckling to Arab pressure to cancel Alan Keyes. By the way...that harpy Ashleigh Banfield was recently cancelled also.

Confession time here....
I actually (shudder!) worked for MSNBC a few years ago. I did contract support for their network services. I constantly had to hold my nose around their limp-wristed, ultra PC, mouth-breathing vapid liberalism.
I was amazed however, to find several bona-fide conservatives working in the newsroom. One guy in particular kept a large full color picture lampooning a then impeachment-era Klintoon. How he ever survived that nuthouse, I'll never know (the reporter, not Klintoon - he survives because he is the spawn of Satan).
I was fired after spurning an offer to go full-time with them.
Thank you MSNBC!

Phil's going because his manners are so bad.
