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.

Craig Crawford has long struck me as a totally dedicated lefty and a reliable Dhimmi shill. Can’t stand the guy.

But maybe he’s afflicted with such blind loyalty to the Clintons that he still hasn’t gotten over how the Øbamistas and their enablers in the media rolled Madame Hill in 2008.

...but I can barely stand Morning Joe lately.

Joe's last vestige of masculinity was excised last month, when his bosses told him to quit criticizing Pyscho Talk Ed & Olbermann.

He's been toeing the line since. Making matters worse, no reliable conservatives ever appear on the show, and they don't miss a chance to snipe at Sarah.

“””””Always seemed like sort of an ambiable Lib who enjoyed a good debate”””””””

Thats it, he wants to debate. There is no debate a MSNBC...only liberal bile. Thats precisely why they have such low ratings.
The producers have to know this. Anyone with a few minutes experience in the business would know this. That makes me think that they are like a bunch of captains, intent on going down with the ship.
They might be sticking to their views, but its stupid business if you ask me.

I agree. He would be a great pick up for FOX. He is a lefty for sure but it would give FOX more balance which would be more viewership which would bring in more people that lean left to get them to the center...at least.

I can’t watch Morning Joe any more. Joe is always trying to be so cute and trendy. If he says something about having a “man crush” (disgusting term) on someone again, I’m going to puke.

Crawford’s schtick is to say something partisan or hateful, then smile and go into a Mortimer Snerd laugh.

“George Bush eats babies” ( smile ) Hyuck yuck yuck.

Gotta be good news. One question though — what’s this “MSNBC” thing?
