MSNBC Contributor Crawford Resigns, No Longer Willing to be 'Cartoon Player for Lefty Games'

No longer capable of tolerating his colleagues at NBC, political contributor Craig Crawford announced he has resigned from MSNBC post.

"Three months short of my current contract I sent the following to the boss, Phil Griffin: ‘Phil, Just wanted to give you the heads up that my situation with MSNBC has become so unrewarding for me that I've decided to move on,'" he wrote this morning on his Congressional Quarterly blog.

"I simply could not any longer endure being a cartoon player for lefty games, just gotta move on to higher ground even if there's no oxygen," Crawford later elaborated on a comments-thread.

Interesting.

But Mr. Crawford is no box of chocolates, either.

A shill for the Clintons. A quick Wiki search would suffice.

Well, he’s on the left side of the political spectrum but he has always been a fair minded and reasonable person to hear interviewed. He would be a good pick-up for Fox. Matthews, Olbermann and Maddow should all be locked away in strait jackets. They are certifiably insane. I don’t know how anyone stands working for MSNBC. These people are what we would normally call raving lunatics.

Wiki is not nearly as reliable as the impressions of FReepers.

Lefty, Clintonite I believe. Always seemed like sort of an ambiable Lib who enjoyed a good debate, as opposed to the rabid wolves like Matthews, Olbermann, Madcow, etc.

Or perhaps his contract allows him to resign.

I can’t watch MSNBC much, but I do watch Morning Joe. Either I’m moving further right, or they’re moving further left, but I can barely stand Morning Joe lately.

I strongly suspect MSNBC is breaking even harder left then they have been in the past.

I’ve seen this guy on MSNBC. He’s just as far left as Olbermann or anybody else there. He’s just smart enough to jump in a lifeboat before the Titanic sinks. I hope the rest of the nutjobs at MSNBC trash him good for leaving. “Worst Person”!
