Shep Smith comments during Blags Impeachment Presser. It is comic relief, hilarious!

I saw that yesterday. I swear the MSM has orders to destroy blago, and Shep was carrying out the hit. Objectiveness was certainly on vacation. Very similar behavior on CNN, and it wasn’t just criticism, it was way over the top.

[Northern Yankee]

Sheperd Smith was a complete idiot, but it was also weird to hear Blago continually say, "To those of us who make the rules..."

Chicago Politics I guess. I thought the rules have already been in place?

[hinckley buzzard]

Shepard Smith comes off as an immature a-hole. He sounds like a highschool kid. Why did he do that? Drunk in the middle of the day? Makes no sense.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

When you have a live press conference it is not the job of the TV host news guy to comment. Time for that is after the speech. Shep was over the line and way too much make up anyways!

[Migraine]

He sounds like a highschool kid. Why did he do that?

Because he's Howdy Doody (that's what I call him/it); he doesn't know any better. And that SEG of his, wow!

[LRS]

I swear the MSM has orders to destroy blago, and Shep was carrying out the hit.

That was the first thing that popped into my head when I heard about this. ( I had quit watching Shepard Smith's man crush on Obama garbage, so I didn't see this as it happened...)

[browardchad]

Shep the Clown decided his comedy routine was more important than letting his viewers actually listen to Blago. There's nothing like newsies injecting themselves into the news.

For anyone who's interested in what Blago actually said, Lynn Sweet posted a transcript on her Sun-Times blog. Pure theater, of course.

Couldn’t watch the whole thing. Did Shep realize his mike was open?

“Drunk in the middle of the day”

Maybe he was hung over from the night before after cruising gay bars.

From:

Kevin Naff, the managing editor of the gay weekly, said that Smith “chatted me up in a New York City gay piano bar, bought me drinks, and invited me back to his place.”

I was listening yesterday. It was amusing. Waiting for an announcement that never came.

He said that they got calls complaining about it, but he was unapologetic.

[Rappini]

I saw that on Fox and Sent SS a Torpedo and suggested that he and BOR move over to CNN or MSNBC and further more the only reason he kept the 7pm slot is Fox hired Glenn Beck.

[Sig Sauer P220]

Shep tries to hard to be funny. I’m sure his boyfriend giggles about it though.

[cblue55]

As someone on Youtube commented: “he’s beginning to sound a lot like Olberman”.

[PugetSoundSoldier]

Maybe he was hung over from the night before after cruising gay bars.

I heard he was out that night with Anderson Cooper, so they clearly weren't crui...

Wait. Never mind.

[stevecmd]

I too thought Smith was out of line. I must be the only one in the U.S. who thinks Blago should stick this out. All they seem to have against him is words. Here in Balt MD the mayor has just been indicted. The have solid evidence against her. I’m sure she walks and goes on to re-election.

[Oldpuppymax]

So where was the courageous Smith asking Hussein about his birth certificate...his closed medical and college records...his shady house purchase and on and on. Had a sore throat for a few months, did you there Shep?

[SW6906]

One of the local radio stations here in the Puget Sound area has a “gay pool” they do each year, betting who will “come out” during the coming year. This year (as with past years, I believe), Anderson Cooper and Shepherd Smith are near the top of the list!

[ZX12R]

I too thought Smith was out of line.

It was truly bizarre. I don't know what you'd call it, but you certainly couldn't call it reporting on a news conference.
