Meet MSNBC's Newest Contributor!

As if MSNBC was not already a prime time laughing stock, they have somehow managed to increase that laughing stock 10 fold. I realize that that is a tough thing to do these days when you've got Keith Olbermann in the coveted 8 PM ET timeslot, but MSNBC has done it. They have hired Stephen A. Smith. No, no typos exist in that last statement. Stephen A. Smith is now employed by MSNBC! I really feel like I need to repeat that due to it's unbelievability, Screamin' Stephen A. Smith is doing commentary on cable news! From the New York Post

MSNBC must have had an opening for a race-based provocateur with zero credibility, a thorough disregard for facts and an extensive record for prefacing windy spiels with bad guesswork, because it has hired Stephen A. Smith as a contributing commentator on race.
Tremendous idiocy. I'm liberal and even I recognize that Jeff Zucker the folks at MSNBC have completely lost their marbles. Oy ve. Stephen A. Smith now a regular on cable news.....can you imagine? And this on the day that we find out that Richard Wolffe will most likely never appear on Countdown and MSNBC again.

    SAS was obviously their second choice. Negotiations with Jason Whitlock fell through after MSNBC wouldn't hire Jeff George as a cameraman.

  2. @RJBO, LOL

    I might watch MSNBC now, just to see a Stephen A. Smith meltdown.

    o/u until Smith is fired?

  3. He's at MSNBC. Trust me, he'll be there for awhile. Now I wonder if he'll just be a contributor or if he will end up (*gasp*) hosting his own TV show?

    I don't spend 24/7 watching MSNBC (or any cable news network for that matter), but if I get word of a SAS meltdown, I'll post it on here ASAP!

  4. yup, this has trainwreck written all over it, but cable news hasn't been about news since Ted Turner sold CNN.

    on a different topic:

    @RJBO: Luke Scott is to the Tigers what Clete Thomas is to the Orioles.
