Hey Ron, can you say "Would you like to biggie size that order?"
I knew you could.

MSNBC Disconnects "Connected" MSNBC's "Connected: Coast to Coast" died a quiet death on Friday. Monica Crowley and Ron Reagan co-hosted their last show at noon.
"Thanks to all of you who have written to say kind things," senior producer Tony Maciulis blogged on MSNBC.com. "We've spent the last year bringing you quality programming -- the kind of political debate show that you don't really see anymore." Or, some would say, the kind of political debate show that we don't want to see anymore.
Cliff Kincaid: "...The hosts permitted guests enough time to complete their sentences. It provided a serious forum for the discussion of hard news."
When the show premiered in February, MSNBCers were excited. "We hope to bring some perspective on the news stories that you've been hearing during the day," Crowley said...
Update: 10:38pm: "Was I the only one who truly enjoyed Connected Coast to Coast?," an e-mailer asks. "I felt Monica Crowley and Ron Reagan both were low-key enough to allow the newsmakers to make their points without the egos of the hosts getting in the way. It made the show very watchable for those of us raised in an era of sane television journalism. It was probably the only TV talker that was without rancor between hosts of vastly differing viewpoints and truly which brought a thoughtful discussion of issues to MSNBC. I'll miss the show."
But another e-mailer writes: "What took MSNBC so long to realize how crappy Connected: Coast to Coast was? The show was terrible; they deserved a quiet death, certainly it shouldn't make news
I hope Monica ends up somewhere good, as for Ron ....
The name of the show from the beginning should have been,
"Disconnected."
Did you ever watch Upright Citizens Brigade?
Some very funny fake commercials:
"For your gift of only twelve dollars a week to the Little Donny Foundation, less than the price of a Holland Tunnel handj**, you can truly make a difference . . . "
Prescott, Prescott, we hardly knew thee..............now get the ---- out of here!
Sounds like ole Ron has to pack his saddlebag and mosey on back to Brokeback Mountain.
I'd be more inclined to belive he'd pitch Bare Essentials makeup.
I hear there are openings for towel boys in San Francisco. Good luck, Ron.
Are we absolutely sure Skipper wasn't the adopted son?
Back to the dog show, Pastyboy.
He's the Boy from Eukanuba.
I figured something was wrong. He looked so sad. I was going to ask him, "Why the long face?"; but I realixed he can't help it.
WOOF!! I was channel surfing and came across Canine Ron. Boy, that is one ugly mugg! He sure didn't get his father's good looks!
good riddance to skippy!
Just about all MSNBC shows are complete bombs. MSNBC started out as a network that would incorporate the Internet in its programming. At first they did and it was somewhat interesting to see Omar the Weird Looking Dude talking about that folks on the Web are talking about. They would actually LOOK at various websites. Soon, however, the old stale ways of thinking sank in and MSNBC became just another standard boring news talk channel. Ironically, its most popular program is a broadcast of a radio show.
Whta's worse for them, Monica and Ron are being replaced by Maury Povich and Connie Chung..
They got that "yellow" journalism thing going on.
His "credentials" were zero and nada while his contributions were forced, awkward, as he had obvious problems staying in context.
It was all Crowley could do from cringing constantly from being paired with this no-talent ballerina.
Disgrace Jr lied when he said W was very nervous when meeting Nancy in DC for President Reagan's funeral. Why would W ever be nervous over meeting anyone, especially Nancy who he's meet many times. What a liar.
This was a program with a brain and one half. How President Ronald Reagan could have spawned an idiot is amazing. Monica provided the only sane thoughts on this MSNBC loser.
