Shister doesn’t want the truth to get in the way of a good story, and two minutes later she cares most about the truth factor. No wonder she likes Olby.

A great writer? Nobody would dispute that? OMGosh, she’s insane.

You can take the girl out of North Carolina, but…[you can't take the North Carolina out of the girl]

Why would you want to in the first place???

Sklar must type all her blog entries with both pinkies raised.

And Shister, she doesn’t like boys.

MKH, needs to work on her speaking. Too many “ums”.

I don’t think she blamed Kurtz. She said “we”.

She said ‘you’, but it wasn’t necessarily a personal singular ‘you’; it might have been a plural ‘you’ speaking of Kurtz and MKH’s conversation, or a general ‘you’, such as “You sure don’t see that too often”, which would better be expressed using the word “one”.

“If Rachel and Gail and I went to cat-fightin’ and hair-pullin’ we’d be on YouTube with 100,000 views ….”

You’re being modest, MK. I’d guess at least half a million views — and that’s just Allah and me ….

Is Gail Shishter an old drug addict or something? She rarely knew what was being said around her, questions asked of her or the implication put forward by Rachel and the Hammer’s responses. Always powerful TV to have comments from an analyst so unaware of the subjects being discussed she embarrassed every lesbian and grandma in the world.

The retort to Gail Shishter on her cockfight comment, “If women get into it, it’s called a catfight; why is it that if men get into it, it’s not a called a cockfight?” “Because Gail, when women get into it, it’s called a catfight, not a pussyfight.”

There is a reason we on the right used to call it the “Clinton News Network”….

LoL.

I always hear it called “Chicken Noodle News”.

Sorry, Rachel, CNN is *NOT* the most “trusted name in news.”

CNN is, and always has been, strongly LIBERALLY BIASED, and dismissive of conservative viewpoints, and hostile to the right.

MKH is a Southern h0ttie…and I’d love to see her in a cat fight, especially if it was Adriana Lima.

Rachel from HuffPo seemed entirely reasonable…which I confess I wasn’t expecting, being that she works for HuffPo.

MKH was a bit partisan IMHO regarding killing Olbermann and ppraising O’Reilly. But since she reflects many of my political positions, it didn’t bother me.

Since I live near Philly, I’ve read Shister for years, and she’s EXTREMELY good and entertaining on most media stuff. However, I don’t think she came off very well here, and it was obvious where her politics lie.

I guess I really am a bigot. When the tough one mentioned cockfights, I thought they were transitioning into a debate on illegal aliens.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Rachel Sklar claims CNN is the most trusted name in news.

It hasn’t been that since 1981.

I would dispute that Olberdouche is a great writer.

Queef has no viewers, so who gives a damn?

It’s always good to see MKH. She is Brilliant and Beautiful!
If Gail was in a fight I don’t think you could call it a cat-fight or a cock-fight.IMAO

I don’t think she blamed Kurtz. She said “we”.

mikeyboss on June 3, 2007 at 1:32 PM

Listen again. She started by addressing Kurtz, then said we and finally said you. I took as you meaning Kurtz as that is who was addressing.

Shister: “My motto has always been never let the facts stand in the way of a good story.” “… I don’t even care about politics; I do care about the truth factor.”

Hmmm. So which is it? Guess it depends on who is reporting.

MKH: hot, as usual.

The HuffPo lady almost reaches the point of being sane.

Maybe she’s been hanging with Kirsten Powers (btw: haven’t seen her on HA lately?)
Exit question: how will Rachel’s sanity go over at HufPo?

Note how Gail Shister appears to blame Kurtz for introducing the term “catfight” into the discussion when in fact it’s MK who really introduces it. Ah well. What’s a little fact-fudging if it helps advance “progress”?………
